Product Description

From the Manufacturer

This is the deluxe version of the Carl Edwards Plug and Play. It has all the exciting features of the Carl Edwards Plug and Play, but is upgraded to a full 16-bit processor that provides blazing speed. Whats more, you control your car the realistic way, with the large, full-functioning steering wheel, which remains secure even in the tightest turns. Choose a driver, color and number for your car, then put your skills to the test on any of 10 different tracks in practice, single race, or championship series mode. There is no additional equipment to buy. Suction cups keep the unit from skidding or scratching furniture. Nonstop action makes you feel like you are on the track.

Product Description

Now it's your chance to take the wheel of your own custom stock car and put it up against Carl and the rest of the competition! Choose a driver, color and number for your car, then put your skills to the test on any of 10 different tracks in practice, single race, or championship series mode! Pit your car for fresh tires and fuel or you could be left limping toward the finish line.

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

By	M. Evans - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

The toy is fine except for one thing. On the bottom, there are suction cups, we have tried every surface to stick this to and it doesn't work. You really need this steering wheel in a locked position, if not, it is really hard to turn and keep on the track.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware - You can't return it!, April 29, 2009

YOU CAN NOT return this item! We purchased this as a replacement because the cord on our original one accidentally got cut. Unfortunately, the one Amazon shipped me did not work AT ALL straight out of the box. I double-checked my batteries and even tried it on my neighbors TV just to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong. We enjoyed our 1st one. And I was so disappointed to learn that Amazon would not take this one back and replace it with one that actually works.
