Tomy Racing Turbo Review

Also known as the Tomy Turnin' Turbo Dashboard. Great.

Does your child want to experience the joys of driving? He does? Well tough tits - he'll have to put up with this bizarre contraption instead.

Essentially a collection of dodgy mechanisms, the Racing Turbo features no racing and no meaningful turbo. It clunks, whirs and shudders like some kind of steampunk robot whilst looping a small drawing of a road in front of your child's eyes. They can do little but move a steering wheel, which causes a picture of a red car to move about. There is no interaction. There is no joy. There is only whirring and clicking and disappointment.

Then it breaks.

Also! Introducing Failed Reviews! Where I talk about things I didn't review for one reason or another. Like a PS3 controller charger, a fake DS LIte and a tiny little mobile phone that proved a little less than reliable.

I had a similar car thing like that back in the day. Got bored of it very quickly so decided to pull it to bits and replace the built in plastic thing with my own ones drawn on FAX paper rolls. made it much more run ;P
