    Overlooked and underrated, Blast Corps is an addicting game with plenty of action. The replay value is probably the greatest aspect... You just have to go beck to every level and earn the insanely difficult platnum medals!

    An under-rated game, which made for a playable and exciting use of the N64's 3D abilities. It is so enjoyable, you find yourself playing endlessly, just to get those satisfying platinum medals. The relative simplicity of the N64's environments meant that even though there are not so many games made for it, they are often perfect realisations of their concepts.

    This game is perfect, hands down. One of the greatest games of all time, and also one of the most challenging games ever! (Battletoads anyone?).

    Brilliantly executed, original, and sodding hard. Certainly one of the bests titles released on the n64, and one of my favorite games of all time.

    Another great N64 game that required time and patience. It wasn't the easiest game by any means, nor the most difficult but you had so much fun playing through it. You never got bored of the game, or at least I didn't and I can't say that about many games. If you own an N64 then you must own this game.

    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    This is one of few games I frequently go back to on the Nintendo 64 that doesn't feel outdated.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.    Rare knew what they were doing between 1996 and 2001.

    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.

    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...

    A rather unique little arcade game that takes "collateral damage" to a whole new level. Smash, bash and crash your way through levels of destruction in a simple but addictive formula that's difficult to pigeonhole. The most important thing is, it's fun.

    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.

    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.
