I am a fan of older playstation games, and there are a lot of them I missed the first time around. Power Shovel was one of the good ones I finally got a chance to try. After hearing about the odd premise of the game I just had to try it. It's simple: You are a Power Shovel operator, And you use your big rig in lots of crazy scenarios, including part time jobs and battle. You have a "boss" in the form of a little head with a hardhat on that screams at you in Japanese. You earn a salary which buys you crazy things like the game soundtrack, Photos of big tractors and other stuff. The jobs range from the realistic like tearing down houses to the bizzare like saving baby turtles. Each job is separately rated, and you are paid a salary minus deductions for any damage you caused on the job. That being said, the hardest part of the game is the control scheme. There are three different types of control schemes, but all are really counter intuitive. Still, after a little practice, you can get the hang of it, and it doesn't hinder the overall gameplay. With crazy Japanese dialog, silly part time jobs, and a remarkable replayablity, this is a good game for anyone looking for something a little different.Read full review
Holy cow this game is a lot of fun. You use various heavy equipment to do work on a construction site. When you fail a task or are too slow or spill the dirt you are trying to load a old man starts yelling at you in Japanese. It’s like a crazy combination of densha de go and cooking mama had a nutty construction site simulator baby.

GREAT ITEM my son said it was in MUCH BETTER SHAPE than described. So given he's the gamer, & can build arcades, while I know this is not an arcade case game, but he's using as stated for his Playstation, all is 110% great. I guess there's a hand unit that goes with it out there in cyber space someplace, but for today, this is the bomb... TY
