Got this for Christmas, started playing yesterday, and wow I'm enjoying this a lot more than I expected. Waaay more than in the demo. It's a really fun (and funny) game, too bad it bombed so hard. That's not too surprising though... like Viva Pinata, this is a hardcore, detail oriented game in a kids' game wrapper (though I can see a lego-loving kid having a lot of fun with this).
Not like there's a serious/mature way to do a game like this. Maybe if you were making robots, but it still wouldn't be acceptable that you could put five engines together a car and make them drive with two wheels, a chair, and a gas tank

It's pretty nice looking too aside from some frame rate hitches and LOD pop-in, very nice IQ most of the time and I love me some colors from time to time. I don't even think the art is bad. And the music is great. Good jon Rare.
