Toys and Games Reviews of RipRoar - Creation Station
Customer Review: DOESN'T EVEN INSTALL! I TRIED ON 2 DIFFERENT COMPUTERS!
Summary: 1 Stars
First off, let me say; I have a BS in Computer Science and a Masters of Software Engineering. I design Software for a living. I am actually MORE tolerant than almost anyone and can work through almost any WORKABLE issue.
I installed this buggy garbage on one machine. First off, it does NOT have auto start. You have to run some program in one of the folders after browsing to it, then all that program does is download another program to your desktop. Then, after running that, I got an error with some 'Install shield script' and it kept running the installer only to fail later. After many attempts later I gave up and tried on another machine. On this one things looked more promising. It appeared to install ok. The installer is HORRIBLE, it even runs batch files that pop up in the install process. Many cumbersome steps, etc. Anyway, it asks to reboot. When I reboot and plug in the camera, its says 'USB Device not recognized' and the software won't load because it HAS to have their horribly cheap, crappy camera to run the software. Then it started rebooting machine over and over, even without the camera plugged in! Now I have to boot into safe mode and go back to a restore point to even be able to use that machine. I was going to try on a third machine but I don't want to hose it up either.
Oh, and to the guy who said he gave this 3/5 stars but didn't actually run the software? Review AFTER you actually get this up and running.
Their documentation is actually FULL of typos, poor grammar and confusing diatribe. The camera feels like a McDonald's happy meal toy. It is complete crap. Oh, and to use it, it HAS to stay plugged into the computer. And get this, this is a perfect example of what morons they are at riproar (the makers of this crap), they recommend that you plug the included USB cable from the camera into the back of your computer but only give you 3 feet! It will take you about 2 feet to even go from the camera to the back of your computer! The tripod only goes to about 3 feet and feels even cheaper than the camera if that is at all possible.
One pathetically small positive...the green screens were slightly larger than I was expecting...whopee. Good job on the green screen tools. Now try actually getting your horribly crappy software to actually work.
SUMMARY: THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT INSTALL AND WILL NOT WORK BUT PROBABLY FOR 1 OUT OF 7 PEOPLE HERE! DO NOT BUY THIS UNLESS YOU ARE THREATED AT GUNPOINT AND EVEN THEN ONLY BY A LARGE CALIBER GUN!
