I'm a bad driver. It's been a running theme in all my reviews for driving-centric video games, and frankly Blast Corps should be perfectly suited for my specific brand of terrible handling. Careening into buildings and silos, turning into a mighty fireball that immolates any wouldbe survivors -- including myself! All so high yield explosives can travel to their destination, where presumably they'll create even more harm. Destruction of both the intentional and negligent variety, I've never been more qualified for a job.
But Blast Corps has filtered me. Despite my best efforts, I can't do the requisite amount of harm to deliver the payload, at least not without an exhausting number of retries. I'd like to pin the blame on Blast Corps' controls, which suffer from being mapped to a single analog stick. Well, that and the abundance of Backlash missions. Fuck the Backlash, it's the hardest to the control and the least interesting vehicle in the game.
If you replaced all the Backlash missions with the giant robot that does ridiculous gymnastics tumbles into buildings, I'd have rolled credits and given this game a 4/5 and two kisses on the cheek. I almost mistakenly referred to the Backlash as the Sideswipe, which is insulting because the Sideswipe is great. J Bomb? Skyfall? Fantastic. But every time I sent the cursor to a new mission and saw that ffffFUCKING dump truck the vein in my head started growing bigger and making weird sounds and man I can't do that, the doctor said it can't do that!
