awesome classroom tool
I put this on all my classroom computers and my sixth graders love to show me the experiments that they come up with. Very creative and fun

Crazy Machines is fun and enjoyable learning software
Enjoyable, both I and my son enjoyed it. Some minor interface issues, but overall this is very good software.

Watch out for the system requirements
Be sure to double check the system requirements using the Viva Media web site before you buy!
The 1.0 version had a bug where it would not start even though it installed properly, for which the developer issued a patch.
This version (1.5) has the same problem, but NO PATCH is available. When I emailed Viva Media about the situation, they responded that I didn't have enough graphics memory. Too bad those requirements are NOT spelled out in the Amazon listing!
Buyer beware!

Crazy Fun
Solving the puzzles is a lot of fun. There is also a learning aspect as you have to understand the physical properties of the individual items and how they can be used to solve the problem.
I think you need to like physics to really enjoy the game.

Fun with slight install issue....
Software is great. My kids, age 6 and 7, really like it and have learned about some basic mechanical mechanisms. Quite a few entertainment hours for the cost.
The only issue I have is that the software requires the user to be an 'administrator' level account. Not just to install but to run. My kids account is 'limited' for obvious reasons. I run XP Pro.
Luckily, I'd seen a comment about this issue in another posting.
4, not 5, because of this item.
