Blast Factor

Can one of you kind gents help a useless old buffoon and tell me how far I have to get into the game before I get a save point and therefore an option to continue on the front screen???

Thanks in advance

Re: Blast Factor

hi caveman. we miss you in the OGC..

i don't think there is this option. i think its one of those games where you play till you die and then you play again till you die but each time trying to get better than the previous go.

hope that made sense.

Yes it is, when that ever happens is an entirely different matter....seems we are getting the same treatment as High Velocity Bowling over here.....i.e. getting shafted.

"Trophies within 2 weeks"

Update from the official PS3 Forums :

I write further to your recent e-mail regarding PlayStation 3 which has been forwarded to me at our Head Office. Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding to your query.

As you are aware, Sony Computer Entertainment America recently released trophy support for Blast Factor for PlayStation 3. I am happy to say that Sony Computer Entertainment Europe aims to implement trophy support for this title shortly, and this is expected within the next fortnight.

I hope that this information is of some use, however, should you have any further queries please contact the PlayStation Careline on 08705 99 88 77, where one of our team will be happy to help you.

Best regards,
