The only thing I was able to create associated with this toy is this review.Aug 24, 2010 Horrible. I can't think I ever bought anything that was a bigger waste of money and a bigger disappointment. My son wanted it after he saw it on TV. Bad mistake on my part to believe the hype.
We donated this to charityJul 13, 2010 My son was 8 years old when I got this for him. He played with it once and then gave it up. It was difficult for me to figure out, but he seemed to get it. I think he made one or two pinball games, but we ended up giving it to charity nearly brand new for his lack of interest.
I have to agree, don't waste your money.Feb 19, 2010 Unfortunately, I could not get this toy to work either. Tried to install and it would get stuck saying I did not have proper set up or something. Called the help line and they could not help, stating it's with the computer. I am trying on Windows XP so don't know why it does not work. So, I end up with a child who is very dissappointed and a toy that does not work. Look elsewhere for something fun. Better off buying a good marker set and a sketch pad!

A good idea for a toy, but needs some improvementsFeb 15, 2010 This toy offers a very limited use for all the features it has. I acquired this toy for my 8-year-old son, who likes to create cartoons. However, as soon as he tried this toy, he got frustrated because he wasn't able to save them and/or explore much of the motion feature it offers. Overall, I would say that it is a very good idea from the Ucreate, yet it needs some improvements to completely achieve its purpose.
Pros: a built-in camera offers a good shot indeed; connection to your PC; pens and screen.
Cons: limited motion; difficult to save your work; needs a better manual.
It's a webcam and moreFeb 11, 2010 It truly is only a webcam with a special function program and came with specially coded computer sheets of paper that you will want to save -so don't trash those sheets as the computer function program will not work without those. On a base level, the toy is really more of a webcam and not what some people would think -that it can (it can't!) do stop-motion animations. It boils down to what software the unit comes with and was disappointed that it cannot do stop motion play. After two weeks of play, the little kid got bored with it.
