Most Helpful Customer Reviews   42 of 46 people found the following review helpful: My kids enjoy it, and it's somewhat educational too., November 13, 2005 By  G. Rokosz - See all my reviews    The focus on this game is definitely making math facts fun. My kids (aged 6 and 9) play it because they want to get to the next level, just as in any other arcade kind of game. They complain that they can't go back and play levels that they've already gotten to - they have to start at the beginning of the game and go to each "game" in turn, whether they want to or not. I'm glad I got it, because it will help my 9 year old daughter practice those facts, but I don't think it's enough by itself. I haven't found any way to make sure she's limited to levels that aren't too easy for her. It does encourage her to improve her speed.   49 of 53 people found the following review helpful: A HUGE Disappoint !!, April 2, 2006 By  Andrea S. Levario (Alexandria, VA USA) - See all my reviews    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.   29 of 29 people found the following review helpful: OK but some serious problems, April 3, 2006 By  Greg from California (CA) - See all my reviews 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.
