My 3-year-old loves this game. He doesn't get the characters (ah, youth!), but he likes the different cars and that they do different things. It took a few tries to get the controls down (it is an older game, so no mouse control, all keyboard) but he plays it almost every day!
There are quite a few different race courses to choose from as well as characters, although you cannot choose Dick Dastardly (shucks!)
One more thing to mention, it does run in windows XP fine as long as you open the properties for the game and, under the compatibility tab, choose to run in windows 95 mode. You might have to do that for the setup program as well (sorry, it's been a while so I don't remember).

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Wacky Races (CD-ROM)

Wacky Races is cool. 4 racers aren't in this game. The ones that are in this game are Peter Perfect, Gruesome Twosome, Sergent, Penelope Pitstop, Red Max, The Slag Brothers, and Dick Dastardly and his dog Muttley. Unfortulently, Dick Dastardly is not one of the racers you can choose from, but is in the races. There is a lot of tracks. There are shortcuts in most tracks. You can race in a singe race, a championship, or you can practice. There are weapons and mobility.
