4.0 out of 5 stars
First of all, let me say that this is a great game. It's loads of fun for the whole family to play, and it runs smoothly on even my older Mac G4.
That said. My whole family was stumped about what to do when plugging cords into machines in the game. If you've run out of plugs, the other end of the cord just floats there, and you cannot continue the game! Nowhere in the manual does it mention that you can give up on a cord by pressing the 'ESC' key. I suppose that's a good key to choose, and it makes sense, but they simply forgot to mention it in the manual, and we wasted a whole day trying to play the game and getting stuck over and over.

A Kid's Review
I am 8 years old and I got Crazy Machines for my Birthday. This is the best game in the world but if you don't like complicated things you won't this game. The four main things are fire, rope, electronics,and the next one I will let you discover. You can either build your own machine or you can figure out problems that may seem hard but after you've done them awhile they are easy. Some of the things that you can build with are boards, balls, robots, cannons, goo, blimps, cords, gravity controlers, scissors, tubes, and plants. Buy this game and have tons of fun!

This is an awesome, good, clean game that will provide hours and hours of entertainment. Remember Rube Goldberg? You can build Rube Goldberg-esque machines and put them into motion. You can also "solve" puzzles by figuring out what things to put where to make your crazy machine do something - like lighting a candle or launching a rocket.
Our kids also like to work together and also with their friends - not always something we see when they play on the computer - so it's great for families and friends to play all together. I like the way the people who made this smuggled the physics in there with the fun. How nice to see intelligence combined with real fun.
(We got this for our kids but we are having fun with it too.)

Nice
My daughter loved this game, it was a good break for her in between classes for her homeschooling. And it challenged her too, especially since she is not a fan of science.

Educational
This game is a lot of fun to play and it's educational at the same time. We also installed this game at Grandma's house and she likes to play it too. Read more

disappointing
The game is very disappointing. Most of the pictures in the description must be from one of the sequels. If you're interested in this type of game, try one of those.

Not good
This game was meant for young children and neither my 5 yr old son or I can figure out how to use it. There are no instructions for how to use it either.

Fun but?
Is anyone else a little worried about this game for kids? It is fun AND I get a real kick out of it but in this terrorist age, isn't a game that teaches how to use real explosives... Read more

This looks like a fun game with a really reasonable price. Problem is, on my iMac running 10.6.8, the game does not start! Read more

Engineering vs frustration.
If you like puzzles you will like this game. I don't always get the "planned" machine configuration built but somehow I get the finished result. Read more

Incredible game for an incredibly low price!
This game is honestly worth more than others we've purchased at many times the price. For $6.99 no one with a working, reasonably current pc should hesitate! Read more
