Build Cars with Edward and Arthur

What it is: a virtual car garage and a racing track.

What you do with it: assemble your car from the parts provided (you start with about 10 parts: wheels, car body parts, engines) then 'drive' it around a track with your finger. Collect stars while driving (will buy you more car parts and unlock other racing tracks). Depending on the parts used the car will behave differently on the track (e.g. the car may be too heavy to go over a bridge).

What we liked: the concept. Nice 3D graphics. Good selection of car parts. Sounds and sound backgrounds. Fun factor. Ease of use.

What we didn't like: only text-based instructions and hints (for non-reading kids parental help is necessary). We were a bit disappointed with the 'driving experience' (just the top view, the car is very small on the track). Unlocking parts and tracks requires too much effort (younger kids may get bored pretty fast).
