It was developed by [[Studio 3|System 3]] and published by [[Acclaim Entertainment|Acclaim]]. In the game, packed with humouristic undertones, the player controls a construction company in a map split between several estates, and must deal with other teams to win the game. A sequel, ''[[Constructor: Street Wars]]'' (known as ''Mob Rule'' in the [[United States|US]]) was released in 1999, but failed to achieve the same success of the first game. ==Gameplay== The player controls a construction company, and aim to drive the other players out of business. Using teams of workers and foremen, the player must build facilities to manufacture building materials (a sawmill, concrete works, etc.), in order to build houses (ranging from simple wooden cabins to large mansions) in which to house tenants who pay rent and thus fund the company, as well as producing new workers, tenants and other characters. Along the way, the player can build homes for ''undesirables'' such as [[gangster]]s and [[hippy|hippies]], who work to undermine the enemy. ==Reception and sales== On [[14 January]] 2010, [[System 3 Software]] re-released Constructor for [[Sony]] [[PlayStation Portable|PSP]] and [[PS3]] systems in [[Europe]] via the [[PlayStation Network]],<ref>http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2010/01/14/%E2%80%98heads-up%E2%80%99-playstation-store-update-14th-january-2010/</ref> and on [[19 January]] 2010, [[Good Old Games]] re-released the game for sale by [[Digital distribution|digital download]] for PC's.<ref>http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/constructor</ref> ==Sequel== Street Wars: Constructor Underworld (aka Mob Rule) ==References== {{reflist}} ==External links== *{{moby game|id=/constructor |name=''Constructor''}} *{{GameFAQs|id=377328|name=''Constructor''}} * [http://constructor.gamepedia.com/Main_Page Constructor Wiki] {{DEFAULTSORT:Constructor (Video Game)}} {{simulation-videogame-stub}} [[es:Constructor (videojuego)]] [[eo:Constructor]] [[fr:Constructor]] [[pl:Constructor]] [[pt:Constructor]] [[ru:Constructor]] [[Category:1997 video games]] [[Category:Acclaim Entertainment games]] [[Category:DOS games]] [[Category:PlayStation games]] [[Category:PlayStation Network games]] [[Category:Video games developed in the United Kingdom]] [[Category:Windows games]]
