In Crane Wars, you work for the loyal, but expensive Construction Union and compete with the good-for-nothing scabs that are building adjacent to you.  The goal of the game is to stack building blocks on top of one another to build skyscrapers while chucking excess debris and cars into the scabs buildings to damage them. You’re money is constantly depleting and when you hit $0, the game is over.  The simple arcade setup works well for this Blurst title and the banter between the two factions is a definite standout.  While I like the overall concept, I found the controls to be a little difficult and frustrating.  Unfortunately, Crane Wars’ controls and gameplay don’tquite reach the same high quality as the writing, graphics, presentation and concept.

Score: 7/10 – Rank 6th
