Here is an actual review of this game from a person who has a new computer and knows how to use it. And, someone who has played the game. The first thing you notice about this is that it bears a STRIKING resemblance to the earlier game called 'World Race.' Graphically similar. Playability also quite similar. Fast and furious gameplay with many assorted racing levels to play. Finish one, unlock the next. Essentailly , this is like an add-on pack for 'World Race'. But, with minor improvements and a better scoring setup. The levels are a bit more creative, which makes up for the fact that there is no real story here. You[re just competing on a 'gameshow' to be the best racer. So, if you liked 'World Race' you'll love this. If you hated 'World Race' then stay away from this. My 6 year old son and myself both completely enjoyed this!

No installation problems for me - I've installed on two computers at home with no problems. Wow what a fun game though. Easy enough where my 5 year old can have fun, and hard enough where it took several days of learning to master. Wish there were more tracks available. Would be fun on the network against each other, but I havent got that working yet.

I bought this game for my son. I tried to put it on his laptop. Toshiba P4 with Nvidia card. It would not load properly and did not work. Went to THQ for answers and after days of Email all I got was that I needed to update my display driver. Only problem is that there is none. Tried it on my Centrino laptop and it would not even load. There are major compatibilty issues with this game. Support is poor.

As you can see from the other reviews, there is a major problem with the installation of this game. The installation program takes five minutes to load the first screen which makes you believe that it isn't working at all. Even after you supposedly install the game, the graphics are all messed up and the game generates page faults all over the place.

I very large stinking pile of crap! Do NOT buy this game. You have been warned. At the time of this writing 75% of the reviewers couldn't install the game and get it to work.

My 8-year old son was very, very excited to receive this item for Valentine's day from a relative to play on the **brand new** Dell computer that he got for Christmas. He ripped the packaging to shreds in his glee to open it and begin play.

It won't work.

We've tried it on his computer (NEW!) and my 3-year old (but then top-of-the-line) Dell and neither will run the game claiming one "hardware failure" after another. E-mail to THQ yielded no assistance whatsoever.
Before you buy this, consider very, very carefully what the minimum system requirements are.

My kids love this game...keeps them quite for hours. Easy to play.
