Rating : - "Math Blaster Master your keyboard up, down, left, right, space bar keys !!"
I wish i could go lower than 0 stars in rating this item. In this game, getting the right numbers to add (build the answer portion of the game) is 500 times harder than knowing the right answer. Just imagine your son already knowing the answer to 50 x 6 = 300 after 1 second but
has to stay at that level for more than 5 minutes to build the answer getting the addends to get 300 !!! It is a crazy educational game idea and a waste of your kid's time. It's a total waste of your money. Do not buy the download version too from the KA (Knowledge Advenuture) site, because it has a bug (Windows Vista) and you have to redownload again to re-install.

In fairness to KA, i am impressed with Math Blaster ages 9 - 12 and pre-algebra. This version of Math Blaster is not really that great as it claims to be .. KA to maintain their credibility in making worthwhile educational games should pull this product out of the market. Or better, offer their disappointed customers to replace their copy with another KA product ...

I recommend Math Attack by Compedia - not that fancy graphics but gives your child the math drills to really master the basic. Try also "I Love Math" by DK. The title of this game should be "Math Blaster Master your keyboard up, down, left, right, spacebar keys !!!" I still can't forgive myself for buying my son this boring game.
