The game was only released in Europe and Japan. It was also one of the first PlayStation 2 titles to be released in DVD-ROM format, rather than CD-ROM as most early PS2 titles were. The story in this game revolves around the player settling construction site contracts through vehicular combat with various rival companies over the course of 16 levels.[2] The player uses vehicles commonly found on construction sites like diggers and bulldozers. Additional characters can be unlocked by playing the story. The European release notably gives the characters English accents.
Reception
editGerman GamePro Magazine theorised on their 03/2005 DVD that the programmer escaped a mental institution, because "it needs a good bunch of crazyness to invent a "excavator-em up" " The game was cririsised that the vehicles were "sluggish as an elephant drugged with tranquilizers", that the controls were not to unserstand and that the game has bad edge flickering.[3]
