4.0 out of 5 stars Gary Gadget Game, January 9, 2007

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This game is perfect for my son as he works on cars with his grandfather at his auto body shop. My son is 8 and it appears that he'll get bored with the game fairly quickly as it's not very challenging for an 8 year old. I'd say that ages 5-8 would work best for this game.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun for your little mechanic, December 29, 2006

By	Monika Plume (Cincinnati OH) - See all my reviews

Allows children to create cars from all kinds of bits of junk. My son (5) has had lots of fun with this since getting it for Christmas. Also try the Crazy Machines game if you have a builder in your house.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Game, November 3, 2007

By	J. Gravitt "jgravitt" (Suwanee, Ga United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This game definately helps kids work on their critical thinking skills! My son just turned 6 and I agree with another poster...this is perfect for ages 5-8!! Any younger and it would be too frustrating and any older and they'd get bored. It is a slower-paced game that requires thinking and problem solving! You create cars...you help out the people in your town..but you have to think. For example...to get to a destination that you need to go (like a party you've been invited to) you have to cross a muddy patch...if you don't have the correct tires, you can't go across. You have to find the right tires in the junk yard, but if they aren't there then you might have to go do some other favors for people and they will give you spare parts in return...and maybe someone will give you the right tires!! Lots of fun! Not your normal game!
