Car lovers and mechanics behold!

The Good
This game is a great buy for anyone, car lover and mechanics behold. Gearhead Garage is here for your pleasure indeed. A great game packed to the brim with excellent graphics, fine gameplay and a sweet compliment of models. From Ford trucks, to vans (hippie vans included) to cars also, this game features pretty good aray of vehicles.

This game does feature some excellent sound, that can make you feel that you're really next to the mechanic helping him out, peice by peice wrench by wrench. There is basically 3 parts to the car in this game, number one, the engine, if you know anything about cars it's pretty self-explanatory.

Second of all, we have the body, mainly the bumpers, windshields and the entire skeleton of the car. Thirdly the running gear, now mainly this is compiled of many different things in a actual car, but Gearhead Garage has made it somewhat easier, simpler if you will. You can find the transmission, wheels, axles and everything else you might need is there. But no matter what either for me, or other car lovers, this game is a definite buy!

The Bad
Even though this game is a good buy, it does get tedious, tedious and tedious. Also it's not a very wide array of cars. It is like I said a good buy.. but not quite good enough. Sounds do tend to get annoying after a while, but thank Sheba for speakers (I'm just kidding I'm catholic) you can just tune them out<-- no pun intended. Worth a buy.

The Bottom Line
Buy this excellent game, if your a mechanic or a car enthusiast like myself I would enjoy YOU enjoying this game. Definite buy. Go out bring your cheap Italian leather wallet, bust out 30 big ones and buy this game, worth it!
