I had expected that the game would entail lots of racing over many surfaces but it was just a hot wheels car on a hot wheels track. The track is set up in several different places around a home. My son is five years old and really enjoys this game. It is the type of game where you can just "floor it" and keep going. If you want to do really well it takes additional skill to spin, brake, flip or swerve the car for extra points. But my son just likes racing the car as fast as it can go. He rarely notices what place he came in. This is not like the video arcade game "Cruisin' USA" where he cannot stay on the track for more than a few seconds at a time. (not that he tries very hard not to hit the trees, etc.)
