    Amazon.com Product Description
    Choose your favorite from more than 50 detailed vehicles and race to become champion in each of five events. Experience the thrill of breakneck speed as you race against the competition in your powerful, souped-up VW. Defy the laws of gravity by activating your nitro-boosters for a spectacular, high-flying jump. Drive enormous wheels and massive engines on a course littered with cars for your monster vehicle to smash, bash, and crash. You can almost taste the dirt in your mouth as you skid around the stock car cross challenge. Enjoy the sun and sand while racing your buggy on the beach, but watch out for that surf and don't get burned!

    5 out of 5 stars This Game Is Cool!   July 11, 2001
    3 out of 4 found this review helpful

    I bought this game for a fairly low price and I found that this game is a lot of fun. The Graphics are excellent and the music sounds like it could have been performed by a 60s rock band. The Cars are cool too. The Beetle Challange is the most difficult mode of the game, but it is also the most fun. My Only criticism is that when you crash ,you don't suffer damage. This could be good or bad, whichever way you look at it. I highly Reccomend this game for everyone who loves to play racing games.

    This is fun racer, plain and simple. The 3D graphics are very impressive! Very smooth and lush backgrounds. There are lots of options and races to keep it interesting. My only complaint is the steering is a little sensitive, oversteer and you will slide all over the place. Overall, this is great, mindless fun for kids and adult kids.


    5 out of 5 stars Good game for a youngster.   October 29, 2000

    Although the suggested age for this game is 6, my three year old could play it just fine. Yes, it is cartoony and no it is not realistic and it is simplistic. Perfect for a youngster with a low threshold for frustration. The songs are catchy like a bad beach boys song. My son plays this game every once is a while. He loves to drive the car off the beach into the water where he can scuba drive. Very cool! The price is good, the kids I have seen play it enjoy it, so what else do you want...? For those real gamers out there who like realistic games, stay away from this one. For parents with youngsters, this is a very safe, non-violent entertaining piece of software. Highly recommended!

    Beetle Buggin is a really fun game, because you get to do five different events. Quick Race mode is fun at first, but it gets old after a while. Beetle Challenge is the most difficult, and yet the most fun. Buggy and Speed are my two favorite events, because you get to race people. Monster and Jump are the hardest because you have to race against the clock in Monster and in Jump you have to get a certain distance. this is a good game with very good graphics and fun gameplay an music.

    decent graphics...ok game i played the demo about 4 or 5 times....would only pay about 19 bucks for the full version....

    gamplay is well..... ok...but sheesh it slides a little to much..no real control of the vehicles..good amount of variety..monster truck...jumps...bla bla...but never really gives you the feeling of racing...or for that matter driving a bug...i know it may not claim to be a sim..but hey..nowdays simulation is best...if i want cars that are defying gravity and when on mud it feels lick the slickest ice..i would buy a dang console ...i have a computer....

    graphics are ok..still feels cartoony like most all other games...we are along way from photo realizm....

    sound..well its ok..nothing spectacular....
