This game is not only fun to play but is a great way to learn science and physics principles. Figuring out how things work and then applying that knowledge to solve fun and interesting problems has kept me and my children playing this game for hours. We all love it!

Great fun!

We purchased this game for my 8yr old and he loves it! He spends a long time trying different combination to accomplish the tasks. He loves both Crazy machines and Crazy Machines 1.5.

Solving the puzzles is a lot of fun. There is also a learning aspect as you have to understand the physical properties of the individual items and how they can be used to solve the problem.

I think you need to like physics to really enjoy the game.

awesome classroom tool

I put this on all my classroom computers and my sixth graders love to show me the experiments that they come up with. Very creative and fun

This game is both entertaining and educational. The kids have fun with it and it does require and teach problem solving. A lot of basic science concepts in it to be considered educational as well.

Don't know how to rate

I wish I could really rate Crazy Machines 1.5 but I can't...because I see the package says it's just for Windows 98/ME/2000/XP so I can't use it on my Mac. I didn't read the specs on-line before buying because I thought it would play on a PC or Mac just like the first version. I hope a Mac version is available sometime, and I hope version 2 is available on Mac as well. Crazy Machines is too good to limit to PC users only.

Still Fun -- Liked the first one better!!!!

Seems a bit easier in some cases.. a bit not well thought out in others. Still fun as heck!!

Software is great. My kids, age 6 and 7, really like it and have learned about some basic mechanical mechanisms. Quite a few entertainment hours for the cost.

The only issue I have is that the software requires the user to be an 'administrator' level account. Not just to install but to run. My kids account is 'limited' for obvious reasons. I run XP Pro.

Luckily, I'd seen a comment about this issue in another posting.

4, not 5, because of this item.

Crazy Machines is fun and enjoyable learning software

Enjoyable, both I and my son enjoyed it. Some minor interface issues, but overall this is very good software.

I purchased this software for my 8 yr old granddaughter. It was simple enough for her to immediately began playing it and yet I can see that it has complexities for her to learn. I look forward to seeing how she progresses in her 'rube goldberg' creations.
