One of the key things about a good adventure game is that it doesn't bore you by making you repeat the same things again and again. In Shadow Ranch, that's exactly what you have to do, and everything is so exact - no give and take so you can continue if you don't find this or that item. The inventory system is shockingly bad, so you have to go into the inventory, and having chosen an item close the window afterwards.
What's always good in Nancy Drew games are the artwork and the voice acting - no complaints there, but it's the gameplay that's a problem. Even with a walkthru, it's just all to fiddly and serial - and on two occasions I simply missed an item and had no clue what that item might be or where it might be.

I bought this game thinking that it was the other Cars game and when it arrived I was slightly dissapointed that i'd ordered the wrong one but thought i'd give it a try and I can honestly say I was plesently suprised.
It was great fun playing all the mini games and then going on to do the legends races, once that was done I thought that was it but you then have to go and beat your high scores and highest times to get movie clips and new paint jobs for Lightning McQueen. There are even photos that you can print out of different scenes in Radiator Springs.
The younger kids might have a bit of difficulty with some of the games like chasing down the speeders with Sheriff, I found hard and i'm 22!!!! But for £5.00 you can't ... Read More:

Why would I want this?
When travelling it allows you to carry several books worth of info on a laptop or PDA, to identify birds in the hotel or even in the field. At home it allows you very rapid access to a lot of information, including sound and is the fastest and best tool available for identifying birds.
Where is the content from?
This CD-ROM includes content from several books. According to the references, this is taken from "RSPB handbook of British birds", "The Handbook of bird identification", "Where to watch birds - Britain", "where to watch birds - Ireland", and the sounds are from a 5 volume set by by Jean-Claude Roche. It seems that these have all been used in their entirity, which is quite a few £s worth of ... Read More:

Well what can I say? I had no problems installing this at all - no probs with registering it and no probs with having to give any account details.
I have it running on two machines at present - a laptop and a desktop - using the same key.
On my desktop it found over 800 problems - admittedly most of them low-priority - just lost threads etc but it cleared up all of these problems and all those on the laptop and both machines are working much better now.
So, unlike the other reviewers I'd have to say a thumbs up so far!

My 3 year old son is a huge fan of Bob the Builder and he absolutely loves this CD. The games are of varying difficulty and he does need help with some of them but his mouse skills are improving by the day. The games are fun and not too obviously educational. The only problem I have with this CD is getting him off the computer!

Amazing, you feel in the game, it's got OK graphics, you can change your views so you feel like the driver. The cool lego brick world, you can totally blow up!
But, as soon as Lego Racers 2 came out, I've compared the two, and Lego Racers 2 is 101 times worse than the original! Buy this cheap game, but only buy no. 2 if you want to put the gamer off LR. Hopes this helps
