"Even Death seems appealing now....."

Welcome to the world of Blast Corps, where you must destroy many buildings to save mankind. Mass demolition sounds like fun, doesn't it? But it's all an evil trick.....

STORY:5
Well, the story is fairly innovative. A nuclear missile carrier has been damaged, and now automatically proceeds to the safe detonation zone. Your demolition company has to remove the buildings from it's way to prevent a collision, and the end of the world.
Please, try to overlook the aspect of the story that has ONE demolition company in charge of saving the world. No marines, no army, just you and a bulldozer.

GRAPHICS:5
Nothing special. It all looks vaguely like it should, but nothing here will wow you. Basic animations for everything. Your character looks like a small dot on legs, with it all been done form the evil birds eye view. And there's some incredibly disturbing giant coloured blocks in the levels, which apparently exist because the developers were to lazy too make more than 3 different building types to knock down.

SOUND:4
Cheap dinky music, and the HORRIBLY irritating cry of ''try something else'' from your co-workers will have you diving for the mute button.

GAMEPLAY:4
You knock down buildings. To be fair, you get different machines to use, and with theses new machines, you knock down more buildings. There's a large strategy aspect as you have to switch machines mid level in order to knock down certain buildings, all with a strict time limit. Warning: Playing this game will result in a large amount of curse words, when you have to jump out of your bulldozer, run to the bike, get on it, and knock down a building, all within 12 seconds.

REPLAY VALUE: Negative 10
It was so bad, I couldn't bring myself to look at the game again, let alone play it. You knock down a building. Then you change machines. Then you knock down a building. You knock down a building. Then you change machines. Then you want to swing a wrench at your head.

RENT OR BUY?
Don't rent it. Don't buy it. If you see this game in stores, run screaming.

OVERALL:2
I got suckered into playing this. Don't make the same mistake I did. Knocking down buildings is fun, for about 10 minutes. Then it gets too damn hard. Then you set the cartridge on fire. Then it's all good again.
Seriously, don't go anywhere near this game. After playing it, you'll want to slam your fingers in a car door just to do something fun.
