Off-Road Velociraptor Safari is by far Blurst’s most popular title.  It was so popular that the team at Flashbang was working on a full HD version of the game that would have included enhanced graphics, more features, more levels, level objectives and much more.  After playing Raptor Safari, it’s easy to see that the core gameplay mechanic is fun and would benefit from expanding the core idea and giving the player more direction and goals.  In Raptor Safari, you play a monocled Velociraptor with a Jeep tasked with mowing down and dragging other raptors to corporate delivery pads.  Like nearly all of Blurst’s games, you are only limited by time and are dropped in an open world full of Raptors to run over.  The game’s physics, jumps, stunts and slow-mo effects work together to create memorable moments every time that you play.  There’s also an incredible sense of satisfaction that comes from hitting a raptor in an explosion of feathers.  My only problem with Raptor Safari (beside the fact that the HD version was canceled) is that the game could use some music.  The hum of the jeeps engine gets repetitive and the sparse sound FX make the world itself feel a little sparse.  This may be the most popular Blurst title, but it’s not the best.

Score: 8/10 – Rank: 4th
