 Activities that doen't make sense to my kids... January 18, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a group of activities that are boring for my 6 and 4 year olds. I tried the other Cars PC Game and it doesn't run and I can't get any support to figure out the problem. Did I really waste nearly $50 in Cars packaging?
Fun and pain December 28, 2006
At the outset, I do agree that this game crashes right upon startup, however, it does so only when you have unsupported video cards - and the Read Me suggests that it won't work with onboard/integrated cards. Don't know the veracity of the last claim.
I experienced this pain when I used it on a hand me down system - P4 2.8 w/some integrated video chip. Then I acquired a decent system that supports ATI X1650 PRO PCI-E, and lo and behold the game worked fine, except...
There is an instance when it fails repeatedly (almost always - there are rare occasions when the system plays), and here is when it happens on my system: Arcade -> Piston Cup -> Palm Mile Speedway. There may or may not be more code paths which cause the system to report "Stop Error." My opinion is based on a day's worth of usage.
 Requires latest video hardware, No Thrills December 27, 2006

The list of video cards in the readme file that DO NOT work is extensive. Perhaps they should have listed the ones they successfully tested the program with. The readme file instructs you to update to the latest driver if you have problems, well that's pretty insightful. In my case, and I would suspect in most cases, Windows XP SP2 has the latest driver. The readme file says downloading and installing a new driver will solve most problems. There is no other action recommended or contact information provided. i.e. if it doesn't work on your machine, sorry, it works great on the development platform.
3/31/07 - Runs on nVidia 6200 256 Mb. I figured since it required latest graphic technology it would be very cool. Now I wonder why it would not run using on-board graphics, there's nothing that looks too intensive here.
Not the "Real" Game November 27, 2006

Beware! As someone else mentioned, this is not the Cars game that is available for game consoles. HOWEVER, he/she was incorrect about it not being available for the PC. For some reason, that game (which is previewed on the Cars DVD) which is more of a racing game with additional mini-games, most of which are fun, is ONLY available from Target. I like the movie Cars, and as an adult, have really enjoyed playing the OTHER Cars video game, exclusively available through Target.
But, if what you are looking for is an activity center for kids who like the movie Cars, this is decent.
Do not buy it October 13, 2006

It appeared to be a surprise that Disney can't produce a reliable product.
I have installed the game on my new PC running Windows XP Pro, however, the game crashes on start up. Surpisingly, the manufacturer provides no support and their web site even has broken links.
