After seeing Digger Simulator 2011 come up on the list of new titles to be released, and pausing momentarily to imagine destroying things with a metal bucket, I wondered if there was merit in checking out a title that is somewhat removed from the usual fare of mainstream shooting and driving games.
After all, there's nothing wrong with the odd game of Angry Birds, or Bookworm Adventures, and Flight Simulator X has taxed a disproportionate amount of my life thus far.
Digger Simulator 2011 is exactly what it says on the box. Diggers, trucks, excavators, and all the earth moving trades signature vehicles are available to use. There’s even the pretence of a career mode, which really is simply a menu system for various levels, some of which you can’t get to until you’ve earned enough money to buy the right tools for the job.
Effectively each mission features some fairly routine objectives. Dig this trench, sort this sand, that old chestnut. Whilst basic in principle, each mission comes with its own difficulty in execution. The machines themselves are fun to play with, but are perhaps more complex than they first appear.
