The game itself seems very engaging - but my kids won't be able to play it, because it will only run on an administrator account under Windows XP. (Some games will allow you to run them under a regular account and just give the program administrator privelages, but this game won't do that either.) If you let your kids run your computer as an administrator, it is a fun game, though.

This is a fantastic game for ages 7+. I bought this game to help my second grader with timed math tests. He loves it. The different levels of the game will help him throughout his elementary, middle and high school years!

DOES NOT WORK ON VISTA EVEN THOUGH STICKER ON BOX CLAIMS IT DOES.
I'll preface my comments noting I've been in the software business for over 25 years, so suffice it to say I'm not a novice when it comes to computers. I purchased this for 2 of my kids. Seemed like the perfect item for them to hone up on their math skills, especially given both have an affinity for soccer. I loaded it up on a new Vista laptop and it simply does not run properly - and what little can be played has error messages popping up left and right. Vista of course is not without its fair share of problems to say the least, but this is not a review of Vista. In fact, this is hardly a review of Soccer Math, since we really never got it to work. This is a review of the company, edVentures, who made it. After three times over 6 months trying to contact their so called "customer support" there was zero response. Zero as in zip, nada. We gave up. When a company has no support for its customers and can't even give them the time of day, it does not deserve any customers. Over time people find out and stay away. STAY AWAY!

Both my granddaughters love this game. One is 5 and the other one is 9 and both have their own named teams. They are learning a great deal about Math. It was a big hit!
