8 Ridiculous Video Game Premises That Make No Sense
3. Blast Corps
The premise: There's a runaway truck on the loose, and it's in danger of causing structural damage to everything in its path. Doesn't sound like an emergency requiring a response on the scale of Blast Corps' gratuitous destruction, but the truck in question is carrying, oh, let's say, volatile cargo in the form of a nuclear warhead.
As a means of preventing catastrophic destruction, your job is to clear a path for the truck by any means (construction vehicles and building-sized mechs that can dropkick buildings) necessary, including, well, catastrophic destruction.
Why it makes no sense: Without the opinion of a nuclear physicist at hand, one can only surmise that it takes a great deal more force than a slow-moving vehicle colliding with a building to trigger a detonation. That being so, it seems a little counter-productive to level entire towns and cities to halt its unlikely detonation, does it not?
Guess it never occurred to these demolition 'experts' that picking up the truck with one of those newfangled mechs and placing it down in the uninhabited wilderness could have saved everyone involved a whole lot of hassle.
