Another garbage day for Blast. The Story is that of the movie where you are home alone, and you have to stop criminals from breaking into your house, the differences are that here it takes place in the day, meaning they are more likely to be caught, instead of 2 criminals, there are as many as the game will spawn in, and instead of Marv, it's a load of Harry's with different paint jobs, so despite the same story, it doesn't even make sense here "Wow". The Graphics are garbage, look overly cheaply cartoony, nothing like the Christmas night look atmosphere from the movie. The Gameplay is rotten, it has you try to lock the doors to stop criminals getting in, while keeping the already inside ones in there, grabbing basic prank toys to stop them, with none of the films creativity in setups, only throwing at them, they can't even run after you, only walk, and attacking them until their health bar is empty, meaning that the child actually does kill them in this version, and once the level is done, you do it in other houses that you don't live in, and doesn't even offer variety in them. The Music is garbage, not fitting anywhere and makes you wish the game was mute for how unimpressive it is. Home Alone the Blast game is a game that will keep Harry and Marv from going anywhere near your home.

Dear Blast Entertainment. Generally when you pick up a movie IP, you want your game to actually vaguely resemble the thing you're basing it off. This clearly is a clumsy little tech demo that Blast picked up for cheap and then stuck a brand name over it thinking it would trick parents/grandparents into buying it. Its shit.
