Blasto

"A pretty stupid game, but alot of good features, makes the game very enjoyable......to a certian point."

This game is middle of the line. It's not all that good, but it's not bad either. The Gameplay isn't fun, the Sound, isn't great, the Graphics are good, and the story is good. I don't want to give this game a three or four, because it is better than that, but it doesn't deserve a seven or eight, because their is too many poor features in the game.

Graphics: 10
The Graphics are great! The 3D colors make the game more fun to play, and more fun to watch. Their is nothing blured out, or nothing was hard to see or looked like a two year old colored it in.

Ups:
1)Thew graphics are clear and viewable.
2)Nothing is blured out.
3)It is nice color shading.

Downs:
None

Gameplay: 4
The Gameplay was pretty bad. By the time I got twards the end of the game, I couldn't stand that big fast moron Blasto jogging around the screen, in that same outfit, and shooting the same baddies, over and over. The Gameplay got old and boring, quite fast, which is the cause of the low scoring I gave it.

Ups:
1)Good story.
2)Lots of cool weapons.

Downs:
1)Boring.
2)The game gets really old, really fast.

Sound: 5
The sound was also a middle of the line game. It wasn't something I would be amazed by, and it's not something I would hate, and get mad it because I couldn't hear what was going on. But, the same sounds throughout the game, is the main cause of the five. If they added a little more sounds, to the game, the Sound may be like a six, and the Overall rating might be about a seven.

Ups:
1)The variety of sound is good.

Downs:
1)The sound gets old, by the end of the game.

Fun Factor: 2
Overall the game was not all that fun or addictive. It was mostly boring, and annoying. It was hard to really like and find fun, because their was really nothing diffrent in the game, after the first twenty minuets of it.

Ups:
1)For the first twenty minuets it is fun.

Downs:
1)After the first twenty minuets, the game gets really old.

Overall: 6
The game was middle of the line. Good story and graphics, not so good sound, and gameplay. I think the story saves the game from falling into a bottomless pit. Blasto is a game, that could go either way with people, so I suggest you rent the game, first, then if you like it, buy it. But, just don't go to the store and spend $20 on the game, before you know you like it.
