1.0 out of 5 stars mind builder-crude and overpriced, March 1, 2008

Software in general and also the user interface is rather crude. Maybe i could justify it as a $10 shareware product.

Also under vista the software often asks me to put the cd in the cd player when the cd is in the player. Doing a complete new install sometimes cures the problem.

Over priced and not worth the effort.

1.0 out of 5 stars An absolute waste of money, time, October 30, 2008

By 

A Teacher (Kansas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Core Mind Builder (CD-ROM)

I purchased this product, hoping to see an interface and challenge questions like the DS Lite games Brain Age or Big Brain. I was disappointed.

This software has a poor installation process(does not allow you to choose where to install), a poorer interface, and a very tedious, cumbersome process to get to the so-called challenge questions. The questions are like an exam questions. There are no immediate feedback. There are no animation. And a person (kid) would immediately give up, given what it would take to launch and work with the software. Not user friendly at all. It is truly an example of a use-once-only, uninstall immediately after software.

This item was really not what I thought it would be. The software wont even load if your not connected to the internet. Something I will not let my kids use because of this. This is just not a product I would recomend.
