TrackMania Review
My five year old saw this on sale locally and had to have it. We installed it on "his" pc, (800 Mhz), and it was painfully slow to respond. We tried it on mine (3 Ghz), and it was beautiful. The box claims the min system req's are 450 Mhz, but the recommended system req's are 900 Mhz and a 32 MB 3D graphics card.
We're at the very early stages of the game. My son's reflexes are already far better than mine, but I found the game quite addictive as well. (I'm not a gamer, myself, just his mom.) Lots of levels to work through, and the graphics are great. My son really enjoyed discovering that it let him go off track and explore the mountain ranges!
I don't know what the target age for it is, though I'm sure it's older than my son. There's nothing in it that I mind my son getting exposed to. In fact, my son claims that nobody's even driving the car, so there's not even any blood when the car wrecks!
Great fun. There may even be an element of logic to it, in the puzzles, but that's stretching it. It's obviously built for fun.
