![]() ![]() Whilst it is not a killer feature, or anything big by most games' standards, something that weltenbauer have included in Construction Simulator 2012 is a radio feature that allows you to put your own music into the game and play it on the in-vehicle radios - yes this has been around since the days of Grand Theft Auto III, however in a simulator where you spend 80% of your time behind a wheel, it is a great leap forwards.Ĭonstruction Simulator is a vehicular simulator through and through, and the main focus is truly on the vehicles you’ll be riding around in dump trucks, transportation trucks, forklifts, diggers, concrete mixers, telescopic cranes and even rollers, each looks remarkably well rendered, and they all control pretty well, occasionally you will get some jumping when weight and collisions are involved, however for the most part the vehicles handle really well. Alongside keyboard controls, gamepads are also supported, however unfortunately the Xbox 360 controls are slightly jumbled, so it takes a little while to learn them, but it really pays off! The game contains a lot of complicated machinery, so get ready for some complex operation instructions, it’s not hard to get a little lost with all the different keyboard commands, however thankfully there is a neat window on the right of the screen that can be expanded to cover you on all of the controls of your current vehicle, very handy for those a little forgetful among us. What is best about Construction Simulator is that it really shows just how far simulators have come with humble beginnings like Crane Simulator, Fork Lift Truck Simulator and Digger Simulator, all three simulators are thrown into one neat package whilst also integrating characters with your avatar Fritz, and his boss Hans-Peter, as well as progressive gameplay and general gaming mechanics. ![]() Not a thing in the world can be built properly without foundations, so your first point of call on any job, will be to dig a hole, depending on its size you will either be given a digger or a mini digger, at this point you may be required to fill the foundations with concrete, lay pipes or simply start laying your walls, your jobs are all based around construction so you will get some that feel slightly like repeated missions, but there's nothing a real construction worker can do about it, so you can't complain. With eleven jobs spaced throughout the small town you’ll be constructing anything from a swimming pool to the local school, and most run through a series of familiar stages that the simulator fans amongst you will recognise.
