Vehicles are made by clipping things together, and while it’s fairly quick there area couple of frustrating elements to it. And you can do all of thee quite easily with the building tools available. It’s all about adapting to your requirements, you might need to add a sticky-up bit to poke a part off a high rock, or create a small, light, fast vehicle to jump a large gap to an isolated area. Hey presto, one beefy hill-climbing beast that could climb up all but the most vertical of cliff edges. Later, I had trouble getting up steep cliffs to the higher areas and the parts they were keeping away from me, so I went back to the drawing board and made a 6-wheeled vehicle with two engines and some carefully positioned ballast to stop my flying backwards off the cliff face. Suddenly I had to slow down to start pushing things, otherwise the bigger impact just shattered my car into numerous pieces. Hey presto, more power! But with great power comes great breakability, as Uncle Ben nearly said. But I needed more power, so strapped another engine into the back. Initially I added a couple more blocks to the front of my car, giving me a U-shaped claw that let me push things around without them scooting off to the side. At this point you need to get your problem solving hat on and think about what you can do. Before too long the balls get a bit more difficult to push around, and keep skewing off to the side, or are too heavy to push around. Kicking off with a small car with a bar at the front to push things around, you’ll be on the hunt for glowing balls that you need to push around and get back to a drone-type thing that processes the balls and turns them into new parts for you. There are a few different ways to play, but chances are you’ll want to start with the campaign which teaches you the ropes and brings new parts and ideas into play slowly and gently. With a Lego-obsessed son, having a pile of parts and the freedom to build whatever you want, a flying submarine, a boat-car, a rocket bike, whatever else… it’s the ideal scenario, isn’t it? Trailmakers lets you do exactly that in a range of ways, and while there are frustrations and question marks over some areas of the game, it’s definitely lives up to its promise. The idea of building your own vehicle out of a range of bits, letting you drive, race, fly, sail or any combination of them sounds great to me.
