A refreshing aspect of Blast Corps is that it involves replayability within the game. Once you finish a level the first time, you need to go back and finish it again and again.

An instant classic.

Blast Corps never denies that it is primarily a video game, and that is very refreshing. A great first generation game that shows off Rare's potential and game-making skill.

Destruction fun. Hard to control the vehicles but very satisfying when that building comes down.

I love blowing stuff up. A lot. Not enough characters still? Fine. I’ll kee

Love this game! So addicting and satisfying to play. The missions are great, and I love the variety of vehicles to use throughout. The only knock would be how sometimes it can be tricky to figure out what they even want you to do. Also, the graphics are a little tough, but what wasn’t for the N64 haha!

When it comes to video game destruction for brains and brawn, Blast is definitely the master.

The original premise, varied situations and fresh gameplay means that Blast Corps is like nothing you've experienced before. The biggest shame about Blast Corps is that it seems destined to be the most under-rated classic Nintendo 64 game.

When I looked at this game I thought it would be BAD. When I played I was addicted and loved it and it is one of the best Nintendo 64 games of all time.

Rare knew what they were doing between 1996 and 2001. Never have I played a more uniquely satisfying, acceptably challenging, "it's your fault you messed up" kind of game. This is one of few games I frequently go back to on the Nintendo 64 that doesn't feel outdated. I can't think of another destruction puzzle game as good as this. If you're a Nintendo 64 collector, get this game ASAP. You won't regret it.

Blast Corps is a cartridge worth it's weight in explosives. There's no game like this available for any other console but something tells me, we'll be seeing plenty of copy cats in the future.

It's like playing witih explosive-laden Tonka trucks, with no mess to clean up afterwards. [Jan 2004, p.189]

In this frighteningly entertaining new cart, developers Rare have gone all out, combining nuclear weapons, giant robots, construction vehicles, AND load motor noises in one title. The results are spectacular.

Ehhhhh. I liked the game...didnt love it, just liked it. It was fun at times, but the game got boring. The different vehicles all did their own thing which was cool, but to me, the game wasnt as great as everyone else says...

Very boring l like the music but the gameplay is just a complete zzz snooze fest.
SummaryA pair of defective nuclear missiles, en route to a safe detonation site, has begun to leak. Badly damaged, the carrier automatically locks onto the most direct route. Clear a path to help the carrier arrive safely. Tons of vehicles are at your disposal. Leave nothing standing or the adventure will end in an earth-shattering explosion! F... Read More
