Constructing vehicles is very easy, each vehicle must have propulsion, fuel and a seat. Land vehicles will generally have wheels, aircraft have balloons, wings or propellers and water craft have flotation devices, you can also create amphibious vehicles if you wish. Additional parts can be purchased from a shop, unlocked as the game progresses or found around the games hub town. The position of parts will affect the vehicles handling and balance and quite a lot of time can be spent getting the vehicle to respond in the exact way that you want. There is a great sense of pleasure in spending extra time crafting a vehicle that is perfectly suited to a task and nailing one of the trophies. It is also hilarious when your creations go drastically wrong.

The game has a very cutesy look to it, very reminiscent of older platform games. That doesn’t mean that the visuals are dated, in fact graphically the game easily competes with any of the other recent releases. Each game world has its own individual style. One gameworld is the inside of a games console, this is a particularly tough level for flying craft because it is based on several levels and has all manner of ramps connecting them. Other gameworlds include, a museum world, a sports world and a space world.

As it’s an Xbox 360 game its worth mentioning achievement points as I know many gamers out there find them important. I’m pleased to say that the games achievements are well thought out. Progressing through the games worlds will unlock a fair portion of the points on offer, the rest of the points are available for fairly standard challenges such as playing in multiplayer, travelling over a set speed or making a huge vehicle and getting it up to a set speed.


The overall look of the game may prevent it from being embraced by the gaming public. The visuals do give the appearance that this is a game suited to a young audience. Younger gamers may struggle with the complexities of vehicle design (power to weight ratios, balance etc) and so might not enjoy it, whereas as more mature gamers may dismiss the game as ‘something for the kids’. I urge you to look past the visuals and give the game a try. Casual gamers may also find the vehicle creation a little too much, as will gamers who don’t wish to be so completely involved in construction, exploration, trail and error.

Overall the game is worth purchasing and I have thoroughly enjoyed the time I’ve spent playing it. It will certainly keep me entertained throughout the Christmas period as I try to find every last Jiggy and unlock every trophy in the game.
