This little game exceeded all of my expectations and then some. For any fan of Walt Disney World, this is paradise! Each race track is base on an area of the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, and the environments are simply outstanding. I found myself enjoying watching my wife play the game so I could watch the scenery without worrying about having to drive!!!

You will smile and laugh throughout the entire game as familiar landmarks stream by you while you race various vehicles (you drive a Doom Buggy through the Haunted Mansion). It is also worth mentioning that the soundtracks that accompany each race track are pulled from their respective attractions which can be really funny. This game will bring back memories of all of your trips to Disney. The gameplay is excellent as you will need to complete many different tasks to complete the game. I've waited a long time for the release of this game, and it was worth it. Tremendous fun.

As far as the game itself, it is great, especially with the attention to detail in the parks. It's wonderful to race in such familiar places! It's also great for children - no violence.

It's easy to race, yet has some challenging pieces as well. Certainly worth the price.

My only complaints are that the vast majority of the characters are not at all familiar. Exiting the game is difficult, since it was obviously made for console players first, where you can simply remove the disk or restart (not so easy on PC).

If you don't have a steering wheel attached to your computer you might want to think twice about getting this game. It is way too hard to steer it. I've played any number of driving games in the past and have never had any trouble steering with the keyboard... but this game is just poorly set up. The controls are not even remotely intuitive. I was hoping that I could get my 6 year old playing this game before we went to DisneyWorld... didn't happen.

Then there's the problem with getting the game started. My kid is normally a genius with computer games and doesn't need any help at all. But this game takes about 20 different keyboard entries to get started... and I swear, you never hit the same key twice. And don't get me started on how difficult it is to exit the game. Seriously, how hard could it be? Some menus you have to hit the escape to get out of, some you need to hit the back, others you need to hit the letter "n", others you need to wait for some silly animation to play, then hit the down arrow and then enter... I'm sure it was easier to program the game than it is to play it.

Now, finally, the driving courses... They're OK, I guess. I wasn't too impressed. It appears to be rendered using some older technology, so there are a lot of visual anomolies and 3-D items that become 2-D or disappear then reappear in a jarring fashion. The courses only vaguely resemble the rides they purport to represent.

Overall, the idea is good, but I'd recommend waiting until the next version comes out. This one simply isn't worth the money or trouble.

Ever since i was young i always dreamed of going to Walt Disney World,but no that i live in florida i go there every chance i get!But the days i cant go i just play this game,its like being on the rides themselves!Not to easy for you to beat in a day,but not to hard for younger players!Its really a game for all ages!I LOVE Walt Disney World!

This game is a must have for fans of the theme parks! It is suprising how many park memories you can 'relive' with this game.

The game is a little easy and users are not given a difficulty choice, but other than that the attention to detail is great.

Well, this game is awesome! Its like being on the rides! Disney World is the best! I love it. I have the Magical Racing Tour for Gameboy Color and Playstation 1. There are so many features. They look just like the rides! This game is great. I definately recommend this game for everyone!
