Product Description

From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"

This game takes the battery-operated riding toy to the computer. Kids first choose a vehicle theme such as the Harley-Davidson, Jeep Wrangler or The Eliminator, and then drive on tracks found in four environments called Dinosaur Alley, Winter Way, Crack-up Canyon and Junkyard Junction. The environment changes with each play for variety, and it is possible to design your own course. Good driving earns points that go toward a driver's license, and one or two players can play. On the downside, the graphics and options are both quite limited. Kids weren't sure, for instance, whether or not they had grabbed a graphic to place on their racetrack, as the drag and drop cursor is awkward. The driving itself is inexact and unrealistic compared to other games. The program also has some significant strengths, one of which is the fact that children can't lose in the game. They can drive their cars into potholes, dinosaurs' mouths or through a doghouse and come out unscathed. This no-fail component makes the software a good choice for younger kids.

3.0 out of 5 stars A simple game my son loves, January 10, 2004

This review is from: Fisher-Price Power Wheels Off-Road Adventure (CD-ROM)

This is a real good deal, compared to the prices that people normally pay where I live, in Europe (about 25-40$ for a single cd-rom). All you do is race cars around, dodging obstacles etc., but it is a nice time-passer and interactive so a little better than TV. OK, it is mindless and there's nothing to learn, but there is a place for that!

Recommended, if you know what you are getting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great game for preschoolers, February 5, 2003

I bought this game for my 4-year-old and he loves it! Kids get the chance to build their own race track with different types of obstacles and then see how many they can run over to earn points. When they have earned enough points they can make their own driver's license to print out. It is a great game for younger children who love race cars.

I work with kids in a school's extended care program. The 4 and 5 yr olds love this game. We had one before that got damaged and no longer worked. I was delighted to find another one was available.
