Operate powerful and mobile cranes on Crane Simulator 2009 and experience the splendor of their powerful, German engineering.

You decide where to place the various pieces of building material during the game. The specifications of the cranes are stunningly accurate. Just as it takes time to master a real crane, you must learn the subtle and precise movements for a successful placement.

From house construction to building a huge building, Crane Simulator engages you in the projects. The movements of the cranes are accurate and mimic the physics of a real crane. Careful attention to detail gives you an accurate experience and the realistic sensation of crane operation.

Construction sites and project areas are rich in detail, unlike other basic building games. You feel as if you are right there in the German countryside or on the bustling streets of Dubai. Large metropolitan areas offer you new challenges and require mastery of new skills. You must lift beams, roof pieces, and walls carefully to progress in the game and earn points.

You learn from each construction challenge. Progression in the game is incremental and the game builds upon past construction project performance. Successful completion of a difficult placement paves the way for you to take on bigger challenges. As in other simulation games you feel that you are a part of something important. Putting the engineer in you to work on Crane Simulator 2009 may even prepare you for a new path in life.

The rich graphics make you feel like you are already a part of a real project. Rich gameplay during your construction project includes interaction with other workers. You have a foreman in charge of the site. You earn breaks for diligent progress and task completion. It is even possible for you to earn a long lunch break or bonus. The foreman foreman is not always happy, so it is important to have a good work ethic just like a real construction operator.

Crane Simulator 2009 allows you to take a seat in the control cab of some of the most powerful, compact and manoeuvrable virtual cranes and puts you to work at the dizzy heights of the experts! Not for the feint-hearted!

In a pleasant surprise the game itself is actually quite pretty, with grand and sweeping vistas of rural and urban Germany stretching into the middle-distance. Equally the cranes, crates and background detritus is well rendered and detailed enough to make it feel genuinely impressive from any of the many camera angles you can play from. - AceGamez

4 of 5 Stars!

I am an ex mobile crane driver. and i purchased this module to play with in between flying m.s.flight sim.

The whole thing is very realistic, BUT it will NOT work in m.s.7, and freezes on the first command to lift!

And so was reluctantly taken back. a great pity, because i could drop somebody's new £15000 boat, and walk away and get a cup of java, NOT the sack.

I would implore the authors to get this made up to date, it is excellent for hand eye coordination. as well as fun. p.s you should see me crash a 747.

Only joking, honestly. J.H.W.
