Easy, you call that easy!? This game was great fun, but it drove me INSANE with its difficulty!

Hearing the music in the beginning made me tear up with nostalgia.

To this day, I listen to the Blast Corps soundtrack; I have several of my favorite pieces on my mp3 player (Oyster Harbor and Orion Plaza

this game needs to make a come back... one of the best games EVER

I got this game at blockbuster once as a little kid. I wanted to rent a power rangers game and I got the power rangers case but this game was in it instead. I was soo angry at first, but when i got to play as the giant Robot I was starting to get into it. I never knew the name of this game up until now watching this video. so thank you cause the name of this game has been haunting me for years and now I know it's Blast Core. (lol I just wanted to tell my little story)

There NEEDS to be a sequal to this game. I don't care what console it's on, Wii U, PS4, Xboxone, I'm getting all 3 so it doesn't matter.

I've had this game in the back of my mind for almost 2 decades and i completely forgot what it was called. This game was so much fun when i was a kid. I need to play this again.

This game was so hard. Unlocked the planets at the end but a 100& wasnt possible for me to do.

I thought the length of the single player was fine. You can definitely plow through only the main story pretty quickly if you want, but there is a quite a lot after that. The fact that you described the game as easy and some of the stuff as being an "option" kind of makes me wonder if you really played the entire game. You never mentioned things like the levels where you go to different planets or trying to get all the platinum medals, which kind of makes this one of the most difficult games that Rare has ever made.

Destroy everythings or the Nukes destroy everythings. Thats the Story

You have to destroy everything, or else the nuke destroys everything... Wait..

I just put this game into my N64 today and it's still fun. I do really wish we'd get another game like this. Not only did Rare not make a sequel but I'm surprised there hasn't really been any similar games on console.

when i was a kid i was obsessed with this game, i would stay home from school pretending to be ill just to play this lol

I remember this game took me a year to beat. I actually have a fiscal copy and I'm also glad this is on the Rare collection for the Xbox one. I really love this game. The only problem is getting used to the sometimes floaty controls but other than that a solid title all around. C-hop's rateing 8/10.

You've motivated me to play this game again after more than 5 years of not playing it! So fucking awesome to see part of my childhood beign restored in a simple video.

this game right here is the first game i ever played and the first game i ever beat. still my number 1 favorite game to this day.

I don't understand how you thought this game was easy. I remember it being so hard and frustrating that I quit playing it. I could never get that dump truck to do the side swipe drifty thing right. I've always thought about going back to see if I could complete it but never did yet.

This is one of the best N64 games and I definitely agree it was a hidden gem. Rumors of the N64 Classic coming out this year, if Nintendo is able to work out a deal with Microsoft and Rare, I'd love to see this game be included as part of the N64 Classic. I'm also sad that Rare never made a sequel to this game, and the premise was incredibly unique and the game was a ton of fun. This video brings back great memories for me when I was a teenager.

Graphically this game looks amazing

Oh my god the music instantly brought me back and put a smile on my face my brother and I had this game when we were 7

Fantastic game. I remember playing the hell out of this game, getting Platinum medals on every little stage and bonus stage (didn't the stages repeat too, so you had to do it twice? my memory is off). It was crazy.

When I was a kid, my mom would rent me one game a week from the video store near her work. This was one of those games that I played for a weekend. All I really remember about the game its the colors, cover, and red nuclear tanker. I dont recall much game play. then again, I was only four or five years old at the time.

I remember this was one of the first N64 games I've received along with Mario Kart 64 & Super Mario 64. I loved this game when I was younger. I still do. I remembered never being able to do 2 of the hardest levels until I got it back this summer. I finally beat the game & I still enjoyed every moment replaying this game after so many years.

Nice review! Look forward to watching your other reviews.

I remembered Blast Corps, Destroying Buildings Like Rampage World Tour Smash-a-thons

Just discovered your channel, this game was amazing. It was so hard trying to nail all the platinum medals and send your screenshots (actual developed photo) into official Nintendo magazine.

I'm so glad I was able to have this game growing years ago. I rememeber getting all platinum metals and going to moon, mercury and Mars. Addicting gameplay, good music and awesome graphics. I also rememeber me and friends seeing the early game screenshots in game mags back in '96 thinking the robots were the construction equipment transformed as part of the game expanding alternate gameplay. How cool would that have been, to transform on the fly to get the mission complete. Great review as always.

Rare replay really does this game justice, I am blown away with the clarity and crispness of the graphics. Before, there were some levels that I couldn't work out how to do because the pathway I needed to run down blended in with the background too much.

I've been looking for the name of this game forever! Thank you for doing a review. I have always been bad at games but I loved just destorying buildings and trying to beat it!

Love this game. Really wish it had a level editor.

It took me so long to track down what this game was called. Thanks for the review 👍🏻

This was the very first n 64 game I ever played and I love the visuals of the explosions even today .

J Bomb was also my favourite craft. Just being able to fly and bring down everything with a single button press was awesome.

This was my very first n64 game. This game was a lot of fun. You could also call it an early sandbox game once you cleared the level, and went back to explore.

Awesome review, this was one of my favorite games as a kid, I may have to try and get this again :P

Am i the only one who didn't understand this fucking game as a kid? I seriously didn't get any of this shit

I think the difficulty balance is just right for this game and getting all the lights on the levels gave loads of replay value, it also gets wonderfully mental at the end when you end up on different planets!

I remember waiting to get an N64 for Christmas and fantasizing, day and night, about Golden Eye and this game...

Again great review! I loved playing this as a kid!!.

Even the cartridge on the front cover of the game seems so nostalgic.

Blast Corps is such an GREAT classic game, i have so many fond memories of this unique game that RARE made, Blast Corps was so ahead for its time in 1997!

An oldie, but definitely one of my favorites. :) Got this one with my N64, so it was the first game I played. Fond memories with this one. Seriously, though, absolutely loving the videos you upload. This was a well-picked subscription. Cheers! :)

I remember going to my cousin's house everyday after school and usually play Killer Instinct Gold, War Gods, A Bug's Life, Doom 64, MK Trilogy and this game as well. This was one of the best N64 I played as a kid and I still plan on completing the game through from beginning to the end! :D

I think that missile dragster trike thing was my favorite one to play with besides the mech guy.

This game always got great reviews but when I tried it as a young teen I don't think I really 'got it', however having recently acquired it as an adult I think it's great!

When I was 5 years old this game was the hardest shit ever, but I found a secret car that was inside of a mountain

Great review as always Glenn. Always heard great things about this game but never played it. Was a pleasure to meet you this weekend pal :-)

I had a great time as a kid figuring out all the secrets and the best paths through each level. I don't know if I ever 100 percented Blast Corps as it was had.

i think I was 6 when II played this. I'm 28 now. I could never remember the name and someone made a facebook post about it which led me here. Holy crap. This must have been one of the first games I ever played. Bomberman 64 was the first.

cracking game and awesome review Glenn!

Used to play this a lot in the olden days :-) the platinum medals are absolutely brutal. Only managed to get a few of them.

I recently wipe my cart and spent a day blasting though the game again. Really great concept that I would love to see revisited as a modern game.

I was so excited for this game to be released and at the time it did not disappoint it's still badass looking I wonder if playing it would feel the same today

Getting platinums in damn blast corps is one of the craziest things of all time… this gameplay looks like some stuff from the first hour as you’re learning to play, but my goodness trying to get golds… and then platinum are truly insane…

This is the first game I ever had for the n64. Randomly thought about it today and could not remember the name. Looks like it still holds up

Thank you for the content. I have a lot of videos to view and share.

Great review Glenn :) I remember when blast corps was first released I renting it every weekend for a month trying to complete it, I dont think I ever did, but destroying everything in sight never got old completely forgot about this game till i clicked on your vid :)

I just thought about this game and had to search it up. Good times as a kid :)

Doesn't anybody else notice the generational leap from like a 2d Mario 3 game to this 3D masterpiece❤

I remember getting this game and having to immediately go out to dinner with extended family. Not one minute of that dinner was I not thinking about Blast corps. Longest dinner of my life.

bought today :P i must thank you and ur quality reviews :D

When i was a little kid my paresnt split up and i'd spend every other weekend and every Wednesday i'd spend the night with my mom. I had an N64 there and we'd rent a movie and a game whenever I was there, we'd watch the movie together and i'd paly the game late at night and early in the morning. This channel brings back alot of memories of these old games and alot of forgotten memories of my childhood :3

One of my favorite 64 titles. I love this game. Now if only I could do the dump truck time trial fast.

One of my top 5 favorite games of all time on any platform.

Glad I'm not alone in pronouncing it Blast "Corpse". Obviously I now know it's 'core' but my friends and I didn't know any better at the time and it's been Blast Corpse ever since. Think it might be a UK/Ireland thing actually. Everyone I know also calls it Blast Corpse while I imagine in the States it had always been Core since they would have heard the word growing up from being used in the term Marine Corps etc.

Unbelievably, I have the intro screen playing as I type this.. on Nintendo Switch Online. Thank you Nintendo & Rare/Microsoft for getting this on the Switch. :) Blast Corps was my 4th N64 game in 1998.

One of the 1st games I owned as a kid. I had tons of fun and even played it recently and thought that the game held up well in the gameplay department

Talk about judging a book by its cover. From the box I thought it was a Vectorman type game. I'll have to give this one a go. Great review as always GP! Maybe Rocket could get the Glenntendo treatment next?

I was always interested to play this game, though I never did. Next time I see it around for a few bucks, I'll probably pick it up. Great work!

This game is amazing! 100% original game. Loved the variety and challenge.

loved this game, still have it

I miss this game so much, one of the best on the n64, havnt seem something like it since.

I remember itching to play it all release week, but all I had time to do was pick up the pre-order. I spent the first 18 or so hours of the weekend on a heroin-like binge though, and it wouldn't be the 1st. I loved how Rare dealt w/the N64's quirks like the ridiculously limited texture space...I think a lot of other devs knew the totality of what they'd pulled off. They used the intricacies of the tech as part of the artistic expression (another ex. of that: the original Parappa for PSX), and the result was a clean, funky visual vibe on a fuzzy CRT that my eyes just ate up. Add in great level design, insanely fun controls and physics, continuously fresh variety, and a wacked out soundtrack and it's one of my fav game experiences. Wait...less than 6 months later they pumped out Goldeneye? NUTS

during the days of the n64 i always underestimate this title, 10 years later i tested and discovered the damn game is so addictive.

The reason some games were so short and easy was due to game rental being a thing back then. Blockbuster every weekend with my dad and brother spending our allowance.

Looks like an amazing game, I'm definitely was going to try and play it! Someone is offering this one with a bunch of other games and a Pikachu edition n64 for sale here in Berlin. Thanks for the great reviews,I just subscribed🙂

The theme to this game is so nostalgic it hurts

I don't recall playing any of the main game as a kid. I just remember spending a ton of time exploring the levels without the threat of a bomb blowing everything up.

love the song on the beginning

Love this game. Still have it and haven't finished it yet (don't play games that much).

all time favorite game of my childhood, this and that game where you play as cars with guns and drive around survive

Completing this game was the greatest N64 experience ever!! it was simply fun :)

Time to get movin'!

this game doesn't get enough love from the Retro community. I fuckin loved it as a kid,wish I could play it again now........

Yeah it always awesome when it happens like it happened to me a few years back with Gun Star Heroes, where I was obsessed with that game as a kid but I could never remember the name of it and it wasnt till about 2 or 3 years ago I seen it on XBLA and it was such a rush of nostalgia finally getting to play it again.

"Time to get movin'..." LOL such a unique game

I played this when I was 4 and had so much fun. :) So much nostalgia.

yeah this game was so fun. I remember those space levels with low gravity.

Just discovered your channel..) This was pretty much my favorite N64 game. It had a ton of replay value although some of the timed races were impossible to get platinum as the required times were set by testers' best times minus a few seconds..! Still remember the day I completed the earth missions and was sent to the moon driving my vehicles around with less gravity, wow so much fun..) I got rid of most of my N64 games but still have this one on my shelf like a trophy.. Time to get movin!

Great review. It is crazy how many good games Rare made for the N64. Honestly if it wasn't for Rare the N64 wouldn't have been that great.

Really great review, mate. In-depth with some great insight. I may have to opt for a Japanese copy of this game ;-)

I actually remember the music in the game the most fondly. Maybe because it sounded novel to me in the states.

My friend and I were obsessed with this game back in the day. We spent hours upon (frustrating) hours playing it until we eventually got platinum on all levels, which was very frustratingly difficult. I remember wondering what the hell the reward could have been for getting platinum on all levels... I thought it was going to give us the meaning of life or give us bank account information to an account with millions of dollars in it... or SOMETHING good along those lines. NOPE! All it said was “congrats! Thanks for playing!” .... :/

i've always wondered what this game was all about. Its one of those games that had a cool cover and i would always see it in the rental store and my friend even had it but i never ended up watching any gameplay or playing it. It definitely looks like i would like it though after watching this review.

Now that I own Rare Replay on XBOX ONE I'm going to give this game a try, I never had a Nintendo magazine subscription so I never knew when new games came out and only went off what was on the shelves and cover art.

One of the game I regret not buying the most back in the day.

I LOVE the music!!!

This looks like something i would've loved as a kid. Unfortunately i never owned an N64

I quite like this game, called Blast Dozer in Japan I do believe, don't have the cart on hand at the moment. It's really very fun, but it didn't last all that long. I still enjoy going back to it for a quick bit of fun from time to time though.

I loved this game. My mum and dad brought it for me for my birthday and at first I was thinking “oh no” because they didn’t have a clue about what games I liked or disliked. I wouldn’t have chosen it left to my self. But I was pleasantly surprised once I got into it and then came to love it and yes it’s very addictive lol
