#Construction simulator 2012 mission 4 series

You can flit between their functions with a press of the button and their transformations – from truck to crane arm, for example – are fully animated. The vehicle models, at least those you use, are highly detailed and feel like faithful recreations. To do this, you’ll be using a plethora of the 50 officially vehicles like dump trucks, rollers, asphalt layers, cranes, diggers, drill bases and more from the likes of Caterpillar, Liebherr, CASE, Bobcat, Palfinger, STILL, MAN, ATLAS, Bell and more.

#Construction simulator 2012 mission 4 series

Going into partnership with a grumpy construction veteran called Pete, your role is to build a barebones firm with just one vehicle into a company that can pull of big builds and a series of larger, more impressive campaign jobs. These selections don’t effect anything meaningful because the plot is always the same – you’re an ex-game developer who has left the pixels behind in favour of pick-axes. At the start of the game, you get to name your wouldbe builder as well as pick a profile from a small selection of avatars. I’m glad I persisted though, dear reader, because underneath its issues, this game hits that boring-but-deceptively-engaging game play bent that Farming Simulator does so well that’ll keep you up till 1AM saying “just one more job”.Ĭonstruction Simulator 3 takes place in the fictional German open-world city of Neustein. I’ll be honest with you, if it wasn’t for the fact that I was trying to give it a critical appraisal, I’d have probably binned it right then and there. With a start like this, you might expect me to go on to trash Construction Simulator 3 – Console Edition. I later learned where I was going wrong – I needed to remove the excess soil rather than just flatten it out over the whole area – but the tutorial didn’t give any indication of that. The last attempt was that damned flattening mission again and after two hours of trying to get the game to recognise that the ground was now flat, I rage quit. On my second attempt, I made a real mess of flattening out some mounds of dirt and when trying to restart that section, I couldn’t make sense of the menu and accidentally clicked the abort button instead. The first time I started the game, I dropped a beam that I was meant to be placing on a roof prematurely and it glitched out inside of a building, making my objective impossible.

I had to re-start the game’s tutorial missions three times. Construction Simulator 3 – Console Edition and I got off to a very rocky start.
