Blaster Master: Blasting Again Review (PSX)

[TheAtariJunkie]

Any chance you'll do a review for Blaster Master Overdrive for the WiiWare?

[nprbum]

I like your pacing of reviews. Dialog over gameplay then gameplay only then back to dialog over gameplay. Good job!

[phalnaxx]

Good reviews man. I watched them all and the only complaint I have is you left out storyline info. I wouldn't of minded since I'm not gonna take the time to find these lol. Anyway, Good reviews.

[tvandlust]

@phalnaxx Haha, well, the stories are nothing to write home about. They're practically non-existent. :)

[1892Nick]

why do people call the playstation the "psx" isn't the psx an actual different system in itself? Albeit a very bad one that didn't sell in Japan

[tvandlust]

@1892Nick It's a long story. Basically, the development for the Playstation was "Playstation Experiemental," and was abbreviated "PSX" by the industry and journalists, and the abbreviation stuck, even when "Experimental" was dropped from the official name. To further confuse the situation, yes, Sony did release a machine called "PSX" in Japan. It was a PS2 with DVR capabilities.

[1892Nick]

@tvandlust Ahh I see. Didn't have a clue about that here in the UK. Thanks for clearing up that up :) Also carry on the awesome videos man!

i got this game for christmas in 2003

[Zignant]

I liked a few tracks from this game. The underwater level had a nice electronic tune on it. I also liked the jungle stage track, it had a strange carnival sound to it.

Sunsoft also made a "cute" metroidvania similar to BM called Hebereke, theres a FC and an SS release in Japanese and an edited pal version.

Sunsoft just recently come out of bankruptcy, and now they're releasing new games as well as games from other dead publishers.SS went bankrupt right after releasing this game in 2000.

[miguelthegamer]

you have to play the new blaster master for the wii and do a review. :)

[tvandlust]

@miguelthegamer Yeah, I've got that planned. :)

[TheMutator]

damn man your reviews are great

[HubbsTheThird]

Will you review the new one "Blaster Master overdrive"? it's coming out soon.

[tvandlust]

Yup! I sure will be.

[rahnyc4]

this game got bad reviews across the board when it came out back then.

[eatkeniii]

Great Review. and you are totally right about this game its not without its flaws but they DEFINITELY dont ruin it and it is still Quite fun BTW Great NEws the original Blaster MAster was Released on teh VCon this week. Now if only they will release Blaster MAster 2 (i know its not nearly as good i have it on Emu)

[eatkeniii]

correction to your review this game does have a targeting system of a sort its an autotrageting one similar to that of the original Doom basicly you point towards an enemy and if you are close enough on your aim it will automatically target it

[eatkeniii]

H ave this i originally bought it with Ehrgeiz brand new from a Rental store for $4 each they had jsut gotten them and in and had never rented them out before they were ordered to sell off all their PS1 games then it and Ehrgeiz got stolen i repurchaced Blastermaster but i still need to get my ahnds on another copy of Ehrgeiz

[jordanthewizard]

I have this, when I got it, it came packaged with a phone card.

[Futondean]

Good reviews as always, srry havent been on alot lol

[Gamester81]

The graphics look good for a PS1 game.

[nerradc]

i had this on the NES!!! MAN MEMORIES!!!

[8BitROB]

Great review as always.

This one is going on my Christmas list :-D

[tvandlust]

Good choice!

[jomommasmelz]

great review. Im glad you did this one.

[SilverMongooseVideos]

A Wiiware Blaster Master would be awesome. The original was one of my favourite NES games.

[interghost]

Nice review of a game I have never heard of mate. the game kind of reminds me of the MegaMan Legends series.. Same sort of 3d mapping and game play. (with a tank and not a person!!) Thanks ;o)

[Xpert74]

That looks really fun! This footage reminds me of Mega Man Legends, except you're in a tank

[tvandlust]

That's actually a pretty apt comparison.

[undeadretard]

looks like a ps1 game

[tvandlust]

Well... that's because it is!

[vintagevideogamegeek]

Dude, I really enjoy your reviews. Great job on this series!

[tvandlust]

Thanks a lot man!

[Propel3453]

Is this the dazzle you recommened for me?

[tvandlust]

No, this is Elgato for Mac. Same idea though.

[Propel3453]

which one is cheaper?

[tvandlust]

For a Mac, you're going to pay about the same for either one, but it largely depends on where you buy from. I got my Elgato from Newegg for about 80 bucks.

[Propel3453]

Thats not to bad, thanks again craig, you're a big help, keep up the good work and thanks for answering all my questions. Probably annoying.

[tvandlust]

No, it's not annoying. I don't mind helping.

[kylethemonkey1]

for some reason i love this game. nice review!!

[EdddieJay]

YEE-HAW

[tvandlust]

Hey man, off-roading in a giant ass tank looks like fun.

[elcheapouno]

nice review man!...=D

[tvandlust]

Thanks man!

[pobpnuk]

i really think most games that started as 2d should stay 2d

[TheObliviousPhantom]

I think they should at least try to go 3d, because there is potential for any game series to make a great 3d game from a 2d series (see: Zelda), but if it doesn't work (see: Sonic), go back to 2d.

[ivantopito]

agreed, not many games survive the transition to 3d, take castelvania on the N64 as an example, but some do manage to make a great game like super mario 64.

[CroMag523]

nice.
