Great Game, Poorly Documented
First of all, let me say that this is a great game. It's loads of
fun for the whole family to play, and it runs smoothly on even my older
Mac G4.
That said. My whole family was stumped about what to do when
plugging cords into machines in the game. If you've run out of plugs,
the other end of the cord just floats there, and you cannot continue the
game! Nowhere in the manual does it mention that you can give up on a
cord by pressing the 'ESC' key. I suppose that's a good key to choose,
and it makes sense, but they simply forgot to mention it in the manual,
and we wasted a whole day trying to play the game and getting stuck over
and over.

I am 8 years old and I got Crazy Machines for my Birthday. This is
the best game in the world but if you don't like complicated things you
won't this game. The four main things are fire, rope, electronics,and
the next one I will let you discover. You can either build your own
machine or you can figure out problems that may seem hard but after
you've done them awhile they are easy. Some of the things that you can
build with are boards, balls, robots, cannons, goo, blimps, cords,
gravity controlers, scissors, tubes, and plants. Buy this game and have
tons of fun!
Super Fun!
This is an awesome, good, clean game that will provide hours and
hours of entertainment. Remember Rube Goldberg? You can build Rube
Goldberg-esque machines and put them into motion. You can also "solve"
puzzles by figuring out what things to put where to make your crazy
machine do something - like lighting a candle or launching a rocket.
Our kids also like to work together and also with their friends -
not always something we see when they play on the computer - so it's
great for families and friends to play all together. I like the way the
people who made this smuggled the physics in there with the fun. How
nice to see intelligence combined with real fun.
(We got this for our kids but we are having fun with it too.)
