February 10, 2010 - Good - Blaster Master: Overdrive remains the most competent revisitation of the Blaster Master series. And while that isn't saying much, Overdrive can be considered a very important update in that it allows gamers with more modern tastes to experience the magic of the original, without most of the hassle that comes with going back to the 8-bit generation.
February 10, 2010 - Good - Overdrive takes almost all the parts that made Blaster Master good and improves on them, but the graphics prove to be a low point. The best thing I can say about Overdrive is that it feels just like Blaster Master, with a few great new improvements and a few small new flaws.
February 22, 2010 - Mediocre - Overdrive's presentation, like its play, is a mixed bag. Even the story, never the most essential feature of a two-dimensional action game, is lacking. There's an important lesson in Overdrive: Just because something was fun in the past doesn't make it classic.
February 22, 2010 - Mediocre - Blaster Master Overdrive is not the stroll down memory lane I was hoping for. Its sluggish and awkward controls, mixed with an unyielding level of difficulty and some horrible music, make for a painful experience that most won't be able to endure.
February 16, 2010 - Mediocre - Those gamers that are gluttons for punishment and don't mind dated mechanics will probably enjoy this return to simpler times. But for those of us that expect a game to be user-friendly, Overdrive is just too clunky and discouraging to get much mileage out of.
February 19, 2010 - Poor - Overdrive is easy to pick up and enjoy in the opening moments, but it quickly unravels soon after. Your vehicle handles sluggishly, the upgrades you find don't always function properly, and poor hit detection leads to cheap deaths.
