When playing against a computer-controlled opponent, just send out a hippie to invoke a party or picket a factory. If your opponent has an empty house, send him there to take it over. There are many other characters who do nasty and violent things. There is the pawnshop fellow that will steal materials, appliances, etc. There is a policeman to take care of the pawnshop guy's activities, and handle hostage situations caused by mobsters.
The mob is handy for all your killing and maiming needs -- and let us not forget the psycho clown, who has a fondness for playing with matches. But specialty characters aside, the workmen, foremen and repairmen are handy for out-and-out violent acts against an opponent. Armed with nail guns and tools, they do a darn good job on a picketing hippie or an enemy workman.
I may be somewhat demented, but I enjoyed beating up the hippie! Merging all these elements together, Constructor plays like SimCity on acid. The whole idea of building is enhanced by the Teamster-like violence and British humor. Throw in four-player multiplay capabilities, and you have the makings of a wacky online buildfest worth hours of decent and devious fun. The interface is very localized and easy to get to in Constructor. All the resources, info screens, and data screens are a mouse click away.
Constructor also has a "tool tips" interface -- hold the mouse over an icon and a brief summary appears. Everything is easily accessible. I enjoyed the interface. It is very important to figure out where everything is in the game.
The quicker that one can navigate in Constructor , the better. The graphics in Constructor are quite decent. Every activity inside a building has some sort of animation; for instance, if a house gets infested by the 8-foot-tall cockroach and you go into that house, lo and behold you see that cockroach, staring back at you boy, is he ugly. A lot of detail went into the game -- as evidenced in the wide usage of animation in every aspect of play.
The buildings and maps are also crisp and nice to look at. Explosions and fight scenes are animated with great detail as well. The sound in Constructor is awesome. Every character has something to say when you click on them. They also make various noises -- footsteps, construction noises, explosion noises, party music, catch-phrases, etc. The sound doesn't get in the way at all, which is important to any game that you WANT to play for long periods of time. The sound serves another purpose as well: by going into a house and listening, you can get an idea of how your tenants feel.
If you have displeased them because you didn't fulfill their requests, there are sounds of fighting, yelling, and crying both children and adults.
If a tenant is happy or content, sounds of joyful laughter flow from the house. This adds a unique touch to gameplay. The sound effects can also clue you in on buildings burning, parties and other strange and dangerous happenings. All in all, I was very pleased with the audio in Constructor , which didn't get on my nerves -- even after many hours of play. While having a manual probably would have helped me get into the game play a bit quicker, lacking one did not hinder me from learning the interface relatively quickly.
Constructor's requirements are pretty vague. Below is a suggestion of what should be a decent configuration for this game:. Consult the box before purchasing this title, to ensure that you have proper configuration required to play it. Constructor may be in a long list of decent real-time strategy titles coming out this year, but it holds a unique style of gameplay that I would recommend above many other highly-publicized games of the same genre.
The humor in this game is actually funny. The style and content are odd and interesting, setting it apart from many games available.
If you like real-time strategy builder games, you are going to love Constructor. One thing is certain: it has the best slogan I have ever heard for a game. Deal with it! Browse games Game Portals.
