I bought this gift for my mom, who isn't very tech savvy. She had it figured out in one day and already sent me a video via email. With kids and grandkids all in different states this is perfect for her to share all her special moments. Awesome gift!

The movie was worth the wait. I have been a fan since childhood and it's great to see Batman mature over the years on big screen with the exception of Batman & Robin. Just be prepared to sit for two hours. The joy of owning your own copy is the pause button. Get it! You won't regret it and the one b

I bought this for my 2 year old son's bath time about 2 months ago. It was installed in less than 60 seconds using the suction cup method. I have a house built in the 1940's and I'm pretty sure the tile in my tub area is original -- this frog has stayed up for 8 weeks with no issues yet and seems pr

You will have to drag your kids away....
9/29/2008
I bought this game for my two boys (ages 6 and 8), and they love it! We do run it on a new computer using VISTA, it does not work on our laptop. I would recommed this for anyone who finds gadgets, electical wires, explosives and all things that you would rather not have young children playing with, exciting!! Very creative, and they may even learn a thing or two.

What an amazing game
9/18/2008
I was initially nervous when I read the negative reviews about the installation of this game but I decided to buy it anyways because it sounded like a nice brain teaser game. I bought my computer over a year ago and I have a NVIDIA GE force 8400m gs display adapter and it worked without any issues at all. I have been playing for over an hour and it hasn't crashed. So I guess just check for system requirements before buying and if your computer is capable of handling the game you will have hours and hours of educational entertainment for youngsters and adults. Very good graphics and the Spy hints are great if you get stuck. I definitely recommend going through the tutorial before attempting to play and once you start playing don't hesitate to use the Spy hint option that gives you a peak at any objects that might be placed at that specific spot you chose to spy on.
In summary, if you like the concept of the game and your computer can handle it buy it. You won't regret it. I know I am glad I did and I can't wait to share it with the rest of my family.
Hope this helps

A bit too complicated for a 6 year old
9/1/2008
My son really enjoyed the first Crazy Machines and seemed to figure things out after playing with it for a while. Crazy Machines 2 has more objects to choose from and so things can get pretty complicated in trying to figure out where everything is and how to use it ... at least for a 6-7 year old.
I am sure, though, if I just sit with him for a few hours that he will get going and be able to do things on his own again.
It is teaching him great concepts in electricity and physics. For the price, it is a great learning game and fun to play.

I'm crazy for this game
8/29/2008
I'm sorry if your computer isn't up to the task of running this program. If your computer is more than 5 years old, than you need not read on. I bought this for my teenage son to introduce him to elementary physics. He played it for a couple of days before I told him that it had to do with physics (that's sad). OK, there is a lot of good stuff here but also some negatives.

Pros: The game does teach you to think. I find that my solutions rarely (if ever) are the same as the game's. For example, I solved a 15 piece problem with one piece. This game uses all kinds of physics to get to be successful -- gravity beeing the easiest to understand. It uses gears, engines, generators, steam, light to solve increasingly complex problems.

Cons: The Ragtime music is in-your-face and I had to turn it off. The "Einstein" narrator is annoying at best. The limited supply of parts forces you to think in a very narrow way. I find that frustrating because I don't think like the game designers. My solutions are so different thans theirs I wonder who's right.

All things considered, this game represents crude physics without those nasty side-effects. By that I mean there is no loss of energy regardless of how many pieces (say gears for example) are involved. Yes, I took Physics in college and have degrees in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. If you think that this is an accurate representation of the real world, then you will be mistaken.

This game does not take into account any aspect of the chaos theory. In fact, it goes out-of-the-way to eliminate it completely. Could you really blow something up with dynamite exactly the same way 100% of the time?

Nevertheless, I like the game and would recommend it over FPS or role-playing games 10 times over.

Fun for an 8-year-old (and his dad)
8/25/2008
So far, so good. The game promises 150 different experiments/tasks, and the first 15 were lots of fun. My son and I would talk back and forth, sharing ideas about which tools should be put in which locations. More problem solving than most games we play. It's the best family-friendly PC game I've bought in a long time.

And, for the record, I don't think the issue is necessarily that you have a NEW computer...just one that meets the specifications. I have a 3-year-old Dell with its original nVidia GeForce 6800 graphics card supporting DirectX 9.0c. I'm not saying CM2 will work on ANY 3-year-old computer, but it clearly runs on at least one....
