I'm glad that everyone else was delighted, but this software was only a mild success at my house. The program can be frustrating in how narrow the acceptable area is to successfully place the many objects George needs to employ to complete his Rube-Goldbergian journeys. If your child isn't already very good with a mouse, this game will prove frustrating. Often the physics just makes no sense. My 4-year-old son couldn't understand that the program was asking him to put a trampoline on top of a light pole -- because he knew that wouldn't work. This from a kid who thinks you can build a working space shuttle out of cardboard boxes. We spent most of our time clicking on the "hint" icon that shows you where the props need to be placed and just plopping them down accordingly. Pretty much not the point! File this under a great idea that should have worked better than it did.
