\"\"<\/a>Natural disasters have plagued a group of islands and now all the bridges are wrecked!\u00a0 It\u2019s up to you to build and test new bridges for cars and trucks to go across.\u00a0 Bridge Constructor is a physics-based puzzle building game available for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and mobile devices, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

In each level you\u2019ll have to bridge a gap using materials like wood, metal, concrete, and cables.\u00a0 You build using a cursor on a grid.\u00a0 You have a budget on each level, and you can\u2019t go over so you must use your materials wisely.\u00a0 When you are done building your bridge, you can test it by having cars drive over it.\u00a0 If both cars make it to the other side, you\u2019ll pass the level.\u00a0 If you want a challenge to boost your score, you can also have trucks cross the bridge, and even later on, you can get heavier tanker trucks as well!\u00a0 There are regular levels as well as an extra set of islands where you must build sloped bridges!<\/p>\n

I had a few problems with the game here and there.\u00a0 The interface is a bit clunky on the PS4, but since this is also a mobile and PC game, I imagine it might have been designed with those formats in mind a bit more.\u00a0 But after a while I got used to it.\u00a0 I also wish they would\u2019ve either had a better tutorial mode, or a hint mode during levels, as it was a bit unclear sometimes how to use certain materials like cables effectively.\u00a0 But if you like puzzle games like Lemmings and building games like Roller Coaster Tycoon, then you may enjoy this anyway.<\/p>\n

Bridge Constructor has been out for a while, and at first it didn\u2019t interest me much until I learned they\u2019re making a version of this game featuring Portal settings and characters!\u00a0 I can\u2019t wait for that one and I hope to get to review it!\u00a0 Portal Bridge Constructor should be out on consoles soon!<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing violent or objectionable here.\u00a0 You can make cars and trucks crash on a bridge, but they\u2019re just test cars and it doesn\u2019t show anyone getting hurt.\u00a0 And they just look like toy cars anyway, and nothing worse than what kids do with their Hot Wheels and tracks.\u00a0 I could see kids playing this game for hours building their own crazy bridges. And the game could be considered educational as well, as it uses real physics rules to build bridges.\u00a0 I remember some of the rules from building toothpick bridges in my high school physics class!\u00a0 It would be neat if they talked about some of the physic science rules in the game and how they worked, though. Bridge Constructor is rated E for Everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
