![]() Novice players would be advised to tackle less challenging areas prior to the building projects, but, once mastered, this area fosters a tremendous sense of accomplishment. ![]() Younger children and even some adults may experience difficulty in maneuvering the trucks and placing various items on the site. Extra items are available for placement after construction is finished, and if placed correctly, come to life with a short animation.ĭespite the cute nature of the graphics and the humor of placing items after construction, frustration can become a factor as the game fails to explain clearly how to disperse vehicles once the job is done. Heavy machinery is used to dig foundations, build walls and supports, and place various items needed by the crew. Construction is slightly different for each project and increases in order of difficulty. After a site is selected, buildings are demolished, the land surveyed, and construction begins. The city offers three building projects: a city park, castle, or modern skyscraper. As in the other activities, completing the activity earns the player a printable award. The ride isn't much fun either, as the game changes from a driver's perspective to a side view. ![]() Unfortunately, while assembling the machinery is fun, a sense of disappointment is sure to occur when the color schemes fail to remain on the vehicles and return to standard yellow and black immediately after leaving the paint shop. Once done, players take the vehicle for a ride where they can test out the controls (ignition key, accelerator pedal, etc.). Seven different colors are available, but only one color per part is allowed. Each activity focuses on an aspect of decision making (right parts) or color selection in the paint shop. In the Garage, players repair and maintain the grader, bulldozer and monster truck by replacing spare parts or painting the vehicles. Gameplay is non-linear, with projects selected off a map including five starting areas: Desert, Quarry, Mountain, City, or Garage. ![]() Screens change in response to actions - a road snakes across the dessert, the city skyline shows effects of building projects, and snow removal clears an avalanche. From the city with its three projects to the mountains to clear a snow slide, Tonka vehicles roll into action with more available in the garage area. Tonka Construction offers kids a chance to drive Tonka heavy machinery in several jobs in the virtual world of Tonka Land. ![]()
