Fun and pain [Posted on 2006-12-29] At the outset, I do agree that this game crashes right upon startup, however, it does so only when you have unsupported video cards - and the Read Me suggests that it won't work with onboard/integrated cards. Don't know the veracity of the last claim.
I experienced this pain when I used it on a hand me down system - P4 2.8 w/some integrated video chip. Then I acquired a decent system that supports ATI X1650 PRO PCI-E, and lo and behold the game worked fine, except...
There is an instance when it fails repeatedly (almost always - there are rare occasions when the system plays), and here is when it happens on my system: Arcade -> Piston Cup -> Palm Mile Speedway. There may or may not be more code paths which cause the system to report "Stop Error." My opinion is based on a day's worth of usage.
Activities that doen't make sense to my kids... [Posted on 2007-01-18] This is a group of activities that are boring for my 6 and 4 year olds. I tried the other Cars PC Game and it doesn't run and I can't get any support to figure out the problem. Did I really waste nearly $50 in Cars packaging?
Lightning McCrap [Posted on 2007-01-21] My 4-yr old whose fairly computer savvy summed it up best when he said "this is too boring"...strangely complicated to install, hard to navigate, and not much payoff when you do get to places. For me it was too much of what was bad about the Cars movie (the story/characters) and not enough of what was good about it (action/graphics). If you value your $20, stay on the interstate and zoom past this Radiator Springs Adventure.
Well done, for 4 and 5 year olds [Posted on 2007-01-27] I'm reviewing this for Mac OSX. The game works great and is a lot of fun for my soon to be 4 year old. He can handle some games and some are too hard, but that will let him grow into the game as he gets older. Surprisingly, none of the games are major stinkers. There are lots of bad computer games out there, and very few games developed for OSX, so I was very happy to find this quality game. My only complaint is that the stuff that is locked (until certain challenges are met) is a little confusing and frustrating for my son.
