Summary: ...we loved it!
Review: ... My 5 year old got the hang of the controls quite easily and with some work so did our 3 year old. Maybe it depends on the interest of the kids. Our kids are totally into tractors and any type of machinery and loved to have the opportunity to be in the drivers seat. Not only the kids but adults thought this game was fun. If you have a budding farmer or heavy machinery operator on your hands I would recommend this toy. But remember it is a TOY and for kids so it may not be as sophisticated as some may wish.

Summary: A disaster!
Review: After spending hours with Mattel tech support people to try to get the game to work, and exchanging the software once, Mattel finally gave up and offered me my money back. We have a relatively new and fast computer, and this game would simply not run, and would cause the computer to crash. Avoid it like the plague.

Summary: Worst Program I Have Ever Purchased
Review: I don't know where to begin in my review of this terrible program. Let me start with the piece of junk controller that sits on the keyboard, in a nutshell it does not work. The program graphics and game play make "pong" seem advanced. And like someone else mentioned, when you find out how bad the program is and try to get it off your computer think again, it won't uninstall. Don't be stupid and buy garbage like this just because it looks good in the box.

Summary: Here is your warning - THIS IS A TERRIBLE PROGRAM
Review: I knew within minutes after loading this program on my computerand trying to strap that thing that comes with it on to my key boardthat I was just taken to the cleaners by Matchbox. After unsuccessfully trying to get it off of my machine, I vowed to warn other unsuspecting consumers about this lousy program. So there you have it, I now have done so. It is up to you to take heed or not. END

Review: Like most other reviewers, I am sorry I bought this one. My 2 boys (3 and 6) were very excited to buy it, but its incredibly difficult to use, the animation is monotonous, and you can end up getting your vehicle stuck in limbo without any easy way to find your way back home. Try Reader Rabbit instead.

Summary: Unbelievably Bad Program by Matchbox
Review: Most of the other reviews are right on. This program has poor graphics, poor game play, and the controller that sits on the key board does work. I find it hard to believe that Matchbox would allow such garbage to actually go to market. I will remember this product if I am tempted to buy something Matchbox makes again. To all potential customers - don't support a company that produces products like this - they think they can get away with it because it is just for "kids" and nobody will notice.

Summary: matchbox cd and controller
Review: My 9 yr old son received the Matchbox CD & controller for Xmas and after reading the reviews I had my doubts. However this is a great game for the $$. I do believe that it may after time get a little repetative but overall he's having fun with it and that's all that counts..
