What’s It About?

The island nation of Camatuga has recently experienced a devastating hurricane that has destroyed all the island's bridges. Drawing on building and engineering techniques, kids fix the bridges using different types of building materials from wood and concrete to wire cable. Each bridge is tested by vehicles that drive across. If successful, they reach the other side; if not, the bridge collapses. Players receive different badges for completing specific tasks and also must remain under budget to be successful.

Is It Any Good?

Parents say: (1 ):
Kids say: Not yet rated

BRIDGE CONSTRUCTOR is a simple physics game that has been done many times before, sometimes better, sometimes worse. Not overly fun or dynamic, this game offers very few building tools and is not incredibly inventive or varied in its challenges. Kids may lose interest, and, without good instruction on how to build, it's easy to rely on trial and error rather than good analytical thinking.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
