The only reassuring fact is that you cannot sidestep your way off a ledge. The range of actions is pretty decent, although sometimes the simplest movements, like walking, seem a bit awkward and with edges to fall off everywhere. Blasto can walk, run, jump, duck, swim, grab onto ledges, fly with a jetpack and even ride a big blue alien chicken. From there you get an over-the-shoulder view of Captain Blasto (similar to Crash Bandicoot) where you set out to explore the station and kill all the evil Pear Troops. The game starts with Blasto parking his ship alongside the spaceport on Uranus. You have to give Sony credit for the hype the Blasto commercials are some of the funniest they have put out to date to push their latest release. Rumor has it that Sony has been working on this one for awhile and has high hopes that it will compete favorably with Mario 64. You must fight your way through each of the rather extensive levels and help rescue the captured space babes along the way. The epic battle for Uranus begins.īlasto is a 3D action shooter that will challenge the hardest of hardcore gamers. Lucky for us humans, there is one man capable of standing before the might of Bosc and he, of course, is Captain Blasto! Armed only with his stunning wit, good looks, trusty Blast-o-matic 100 Tetra-watt Blaster and an almost irrational desire to eradicate all alien villainy, our brave yet unstable hero sets off to confront the alien hordes at Uranus before they can manifest their terrible plans. Once he has enslaved the humans, nothing will prevent him from becoming the true master of the universe. Preparing his Pan-dimensional Mallet, he plans to punch a hole in the space-time continuum and create a bridge to Earth. There is only one thing that stands in his way, and that is us! He sets his eyes towards Earth. The fate of all humanity is on the line! The self-proclaimed true ruler of the universe, Bosc the Terrible, growing tired of his life of exile in the 5th dimension, decides that the time has come to rally his faithful minions and all manner of alien scum and assume his rightful position as supreme ruler.
