Crazy Fun [Posted on 2008-02-09]
Solving the puzzles is a lot of fun. There is also a learning aspect as you have to understand the physical properties of the individual items and how they can be used to solve the problem.
I think you need to like physics to really enjoy the game.
Watch out for the system requirements [Posted on 2008-02-10]
Be sure to double check the system requirements using the Viva Media web site before you buy!
The 1.0 version had a bug where it would not start even though it installed properly, for which the developer issued a patch.
This version (1.5) has the same problem, but NO PATCH is available. When I emailed Viva Media about the situation, they responded that I didn't have enough graphics memory. Too bad those requirements are NOT spelled out in the Amazon listing!
Buyer beware!
Crazy Machines is fun and enjoyable learning software [Posted on 2008-02-14]
Enjoyable, both I and my son enjoyed it. Some minor interface issues, but overall this is very good software.
awesome classroom tool [Posted on 2008-03-22]
I put this on all my classroom computers and my sixth graders love to show me the experiments that they come up with. Very creative and fun
Fun and Educational [Posted on 2008-04-27]
This game is both entertaining and educational. The kids have fun with it and it does require and teach problem solving. A lot of basic science concepts in it to be considered educational as well.
