Constructor
SCORE: 50
Constructor is described as where Sim
meets sin. Another way this game is described is construction meets
corruption. Constructor is certainly very corrupt. Everything about
Constructor puts an evil spin on the simulation concept. Constructor is
more of a real time strategy game though.
I hoped Constructor would have some redeeming quality. Playing
Constructor made me feel dirty. The focus on glorifying crime in
Constructor is going to offend a lot of families. Other offensive
content is blood, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, lack of attire, death,
violence, enticement to lust, and more.
Constructor shows its age and its PC roots in a variety of ways. From
the small screen that shows the tenants in the cut scenes to the layout
of the menus. I tried to play Constructor without the tutorial. That was
a huge mistake. You must play the tutorial to understand what needs to
be done in Constructor. It is not intuitive at all.
The first lessons I can pass along about Constructor is to use the
foreman to get things done. The foreman will send work teams to do the
work. We need lumber at first, and then tenants. We have to do things
like upgrade the bedroom to encourage them to breed faster. Why? So we
can get more workers and more tenants.
The modes in Constructor are Tutorial, Play Game, Designer, Missions,
Load Game, Multiplayer, Leaderboard, Options, and Play Guides. I found
it extremely difficult to get into Constructor. There is enough content
in Constructor to warrant the price. I just wish the content was not so
offensive.
Constructor has a mafia sound and feel to it. The small graphics did not
impress me. Going inside buildings and seeing the rooms would have been
impressive ten years ago - maybe. Pass on Constructor. This game makes
the entire industry look really bad.
