This game is a challenge. A real one. And that's one of its highlights. If you love challenge and real time strategy, this game is something you should consider.
With a very British tongue-in-cheek approach to the construction business, what we have here is a very unique mix of Sim City and Dungeon Keeper. Sure this game requires a lot of micromanagement, but the array of options you're give is pretty broad. You can't only attack the enemy head on. You can pull a whole array of dirty tricks on them: clowns, hippies, thugs, mobsters... anything to claim that piece of land in the downtown area. Build, conquer and build more... that's all this game is about, but that's really enough.
Constructor is a true underdog - long forgotten, but still amazingly fun to play nowadays. Two thumbs up.
