 You won't master the basics November 7, 2006

I bought this for my two sons, ages 6 and 8, to help them develop speed with their memory math skills. What a disappointment. Even when they do know the answer quickly it can take them a good minute to find the actual answer in the game. Each playtime you must start from the beginning a work back up to where you left off. Good for review but it takes so long to get to the levels where practice is really needed. I wish I'd purchased a different product.
 WHY NOT MAKE IT FUN!? September 19, 2006

I have every single (that I know of) Math Blaster game out there. My kids love them all. I saw this one and couldn't resist buying it. My 12, 10, and 7 year-olds all play this version. (It's too simple for the 12 year old, but he plays as a reward for piano practice - so I'm not too concerned about his refreshing earlier math skills.) My thought it to have each child play the grade level above theirs, and that's ususally right where they're at. Yes, there are a few annoying glitches in the way some of the characters can and cannot move around (I don't play them myself to know well) but I would hope that children are not so whiny that it matters too much. I think every family should have Math Blaster Geometry, Algebra, and all grade levels. If you can make math fun, and use it as a POSITIVE REWARD...that is called a "win win"! :)
 OK but some serious problems April 3, 2006

This concept is good but the user interface and playability is terrible. My 7-year old was frustrated with being forced to use the keyboard and no mouse. And we couldn't figure out a way to go back to the main menu without exiting the game. And playing a later level requires you to go through all the earlier levels. And...did they actually test this thing on humans? What a waste of potential. It is a good concept.
A HUGE Disappoint !! April 2, 2006

My son had an earlier version of Math Blaster, it was wonderful. I saw this new version and expected more of the same. WRONG!! After 10 minutes of loud sounds, and pulsing video, he was complaining. It was impossible to focus on what he should do with all the distracting background stuff. Never could get to a point where learning might take place. Wish I could get my money back.
After this disaster, we purchased Mia's Math Adventure. This was more in tune with the first Math Blaster.
Frustrating and Boring February 24, 2006

I just got a 2006 version of math blasters, I played it for a while and I thought that it was really frustrating and it didnt help me at math at all! I think that anyone who plays it will probably fall right to sleep when they start playing! The box it came in said it was for age 6-12 but I think it is for 6 or 7 year old kids. I really dont think this is a good game to play.
