Summary: money well spent
Review: i gave this to my son for his 3rd birthday. he was always wanting to "help" mommy and daddy on the computer, so we thought a game of his own was in order. i was a little worried that he may be too young to really enjoy the game and that it would entertain him for all of three minutes. boy was i wrong. he would play this for hours if i let him. he has even mastered some basic mouse use with this game. the controls are easy to handle and the game easily holds his attention. he feels like he is actually working the "rigs"! great game!

Summary: Great Coordination Builder
Review: I bought this for my five year old son earlier this year and he absolutely loves it! When he was younger, he was not too stimluated by the whole computer thing, but games like this and the JumpStart series have really piqued his interest I am amazed at how it has built up his hand/eye coordination. Unlike other games, there are no complicated joy sticks and flipping your computer over to plug into obscure USB ports. You just plop the "dashboard" device on the keyboard and in a few seconds, your little one is bulldozing snow off an airport runway or filling orders at the local fast food haven where Tonka Joe and friends apparently eat on a regular basis (squirting the ice cream out all over the counter is my son's personal favorite acitivity). Now his two year old sisters want in on the action, and I would highly recommend this software playset to anyone with young children!

Summary: Love it
Review: My 5 year old son and I both love this. We have had no problems with it working (and he is very rough on things). He keeps finding other places in it that I have not seen before. I confess I play it myself too sometimes.. :)

Review: The playset does not fit on key boards that are not rectangle very good. My son gets upset because in the middle of playing the playset moves just enough that I have to reset it up for him. Our key board is curved on the bottom alittle. I think the key boards that are staight on the bottom would work better.

Summary: Great fun for all ages believe it or not!
Review: Excellent--my children love this game. It makes them feel like they are actually working the rigs. It is amazing to watch even the youngest one find his way around the game.

Review: We bought this game for our 3 year old for his birthday and it is great. He can operate the game himself. The game tells you which gear to pull (by telling its color). We have a new baby at home so it is nice to have a game that he can operate himself so that he doesn't need constant assistance sitting next to him. Hooking this game up is SO easy. There are no wires for the keyboard. It just sits on top of the keyboard and when the levers are pulled it presses down on the keyboard button.
This is perfect for a young child who always seems to be too little for the big kid computer games. However, I wouldn't recommend this for anyone younger than 3. My nephew is 6 and he has this same game and loves it.

Summary: Never Boring!
Review: I purchased this game for our son when he was 2. It didn't take him long to learn to use the controls with some adult help, and now that he's 3.5 he can use the game by himself. He will gladly play with this for up to an hour (and you know how hard it can be to hold the attention of a 3 year old for that long).
