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.

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.
