(More customer reviews)My eight-year-old son was thrilled to get a Trackster for Easter. I wasn't thrilled that it was [...] for an oversized HotWheel, but for us it was all about getting a code so he could play the online game. Only after we registered did Tracksters mention (in the registration confirmation email) that the game is still in beta.
It was very difficult just downloading the Tracksters software. After trying everything we could to download using the links on the Tracksters site, we finally used a separate FTP client to get the software. After installing it, we still couldnt' log in; we kept getting a message to the effect that "Service Unavailable. Try Again Later." About 12 hours after first opening the package, we were finally able to get online.
As I said, the post-registration email states that the game is still in beta testing. It shows. More than once, in just a short time playing, my son's multiplayer race ended abruptly because of some sort of error. Our computer is well within the system requirements, but there was a noticeable lag in the graphics. Overall, I would say that the graphics are pretty good, if this was 10 years ago.
Tracksters has over-promised and under-delivered. The toy car is nice, but the game is a disaster. The software is currently on "version 1.6," which is pretty misleading: shouldn't it be "0.6," so we know--maybe even *before* buying--that Tracksters expects us to do their software testing for them? And even when the game is stable, it doesn't promise to be on par even with driving/racing games that are 5+ years old.
Avoid Tracksters.
