Bridge Project Reviews

For Some Stupid Reason when i click start game it just full screens and doesn't play. The Game Won't Start when I play it if anyone why it's not working please tell me.

While I enjoyed playing the game as a twelve-year-old back in 2014, I've had a different encounter with it today. The reason for this was City #8 is impossible to complete because the wind storm test destroys the bridge even when I follow the successful designs on YouTube. I also discovered that the cause of the overpowered wind was due to the CPU speed being too high as the game is buggy on higher-end PCs. I tried to fix the problem by underclocking the CPU to 2%, but it made no difference to the game's performance. Long story short, unless you have a low-end PC, I seriously do not advise playing this.

Whoever designed this game has very little understanding of engineering, and their physics engine is incredibly flawed.

First time I encountered a bridge building game was back in the time when Pontifex and later Bridge Construction Set came out. Messing with physics was intriguing even though the game stressed out my old hardware beyond its limits. Looong did I hope that a modern version of such game would appear and there Bridge Project hit the target. After all, it's the same developer. They've gone up with the size from 32 MB (Pontifex) to 511 MB (Bridge Project). New maps to play, more decent graphics, perhaps a bit more casual feel to it but still, the essense is there. The basic interface is simple. Select the material to use, click on a joint and draw the piece where you want it to be. Simple mode helps you out quite a lot adding blocks, mirroring blocks and adding cross beams to support the structure. You can get far with it and be happy to see how the vehicles cross your newly built bridge. However, the most facinating part of the game is to scrap the simple mode and go expert. How far can you strip down the bridge and make it withstand the stress from the vehicles without it falling apart? To build a bridge with least number of elements, as light as possible, and with lowest budget is where you compete with yourself and globally with other players. The game has in-built global leaderboards where you can check out how well the best ones have done it. And this is where the interface gets in the way of the fun. You use the mouse to control pretty much everything (in addition to some keyboard shortcut keys). The left mouse button is for selecting and building, the middle button lets you dolly the camera, zoom works with mouse scroll, and the right button is for turning the camera and selecting the items for deletion. Unfortunately the last one simply doesn't seem to have any logic to it. The mouse pointer, humangous arrow, seems to be little off at all times. And despite of which item is highlighted on screen when mouse pointer is on it, the right click either selects another item or it simply turns the camera! Why?!? Why can't I select an item with LMB and then hit delete key from keyboard? That's how every other software works. No, here you need to find a specific spot of an item somewhere and then right click on it and select delete option. More often than not I was unable to find the correct spot and I ended up restarting the map instead. The cables seemed to be the worst. Using the separate select mode makes selection much easier and then even the delete key works. But why is it a separate mode? Fortunately space bar is the shortcut. The game is fun and it'll keep me playing it trying to best myself over and over again. If you're into semi-realistic physics simulation and construction then you probably will like the game. However, if you're easily irritated by cloggy interface then I'd recommend testing the game before purchase. Chronic Logic offers a free demo on their website with limited number of maps to try it out.

I wanted to give this game a chance, to play the interesting bridge game I saw NerdCubed play all those years ago. I can't even get past the launcher. I can select my resolution, click "Start Game", then the mouse cursor disappears and nothing happens. Checking the Discussions, this seems to be a long-standing issue. Don't get this game, not even on sale. It's just a waste of money. I don't want a game I can't even play in my account, so I'm going to refund this and buy Poly Bridge instead.

A niche budget indie game, not very entertaining but it's a good trip down memory lane through the eyes of a jacksepticeye fan.

Early nominee for worst game of 2013. Nice to see it's not just Aliens: Colonial Marines that sucked complete and utter balls. Ultimately this is another example of a good concept, poorly executed. You might surmise (from the awesome looking screenshot) that you would be building epic bridges spanning huge chasms with a wealth of materials at your disposal so you can build a bridge your way. No. What you actually get is a series of extremely similar small levels that require you to build a bridge out of the limited materials given (pretty much ruining any hopes you might have for grand designs). The controls are flawed and the similarity of the levels and the crappy physics engine mean 9 times out of 10 the correct solution to finish the level is to build the exact same fucking bridge, varied only by the material used in its construction and whether most of the support goes on the left or the right hand side. It's stale, boring and unimaginative when it could easily have been so much more. In other words, a typical German simulator cobbled together for the bargain bins of the world's game stores.

A dissappointment. I have played bridge simulator games since the original Bridge Builder and I can say that there were some major design flaws particularly in controls, but you can overcome that; and there are a lot of bugs/inconsistencies, at least compared to older games like "Bridge It!". I really hope that developers will improve the game experience, but until then this game cannot be compared to Bridge Builder and Pontifex, since it's obviously in their genre. The only thing that is good in that case is graphics, but in my experience "Bridge It!" looked much nicer.

This game makes me cry a little inside everytime I see it defying physics or not simulating materials the same way everytime. This game is fun, but, seriously some bridges are just non sense. When you build a bridge meant for cars you don't expect a 100 ton train to cross it suddenly. The draw bridges are also TERRIBLE. Everytime the bridge "draws" it always breaks somewhere.
