2.0 out of 5 stars Didn't last long, December 14, 2007

= Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 

While this toy was operable, my 10 year old son really enjoyed "driving" around the race track. The graphics were clear and bright (not game-system quality, but good), the action was satisfying and he really liked the whole idea of racing against the other drivers (on screen).

Unfortunately, the steering wheel was only operable 11 times. The 12th time he used it, it completely disconnected the game when he turned the wheel. (Short?) I don't think it should have broken so soon. The wheel should have been constructed to withstand a child turning it. :(

I had cautioned my boy before bringing this game home that it didn't seem to be very good quality, despite having Carl Edward's name on it.

Most disheartening for my son was that he had paid $40 for it himself out of his birthday money. He said, "I just wasted my money, Mom."

Lesson learned.

This review is from: VR502 Carl Edwards Racing Plug and Play Steering Wheel (Toy)

I bought this toy a little while ago for my 6yr old cousin birthday, at first he was excited because there was a steering wheel to play with. We then bought batteries (there not included) and pluged it into the tv. The graphics were not good at all, at first we tought it was just the tv, but we tried 3 different tv's and it was the same thing. Within a few days he got pretty bored with it. The suction cup sticks on the coffee table at his house but not mine. He gets confused with the arrows, because on one side it's says < and > but it means up and down and the other side has the same thing < and > but on that side it means left and right. Save your money and buy something else, i would not recomend this product.

I have two boys ages 6 and 4. This item has brought them alot of enjoyment. It has held up to their driving frenzy antics. My 4 year old has fun picking his own car and color. The suction cups on the bottom stick well to our kitchen chairs or table. It's challenging enough for my 6 year old who just likes to try and pass the other cars. Overall, just a great toy to pass the time.
