Graduate from Blaster Corps Academy
Students who mastered the original Math Blaster are sure to remember Aimee, the sharp AI program that worked with the Blasters to restore lost knowledge and save the universe from destruction. In this incarnation, Aimee has gone missing and a new program named Eemia has started causing problems all over the universe.

It's your mission to foil Eemia, save the venerable Aimee, and right the imbalance in the world around you. This will ensure your graduation from the elite Blaster Corps Academy.

Improve Speed and Accuracy with Repetition
Action-based games keep kids scrambling to accomplish goals, which can only be achieved by correctly answering a quick succession of puzzling math problems. The practice helps support learning and keep skills sharp. And with three distinct difficulty modes, these games offer an excellent chance for growth over time.

Engage in Four-Player Math Battles
You can decide to move through 20 levels of tough challenges in Adventure mode or select to immerse yourself in arcade-style play with challenge mode. High score tracking lets you compare results with siblings, friends, and your previous missions, while four-player battle mode lets you test the math skills of your friends and enemies in real time.

If you are looking for a DS game that actually challenges the kid to do more than one math problem in a minute, then this is NOT THE GAME you want. They threw in the name MATH to make it sound educational, but it is game trying to pass itself off as a learning tool. If you are looking for a game, then you won't be disappointed with this. If you are looking for an educational tool to help your kids learn math, this is NOT going to help them much!

I purchased this game with the intent to give my child a way to avoid having to do flashcards with me. Boy what a big dissapointment!!! The game is more like a video arcade game and has a lot of action in it but barely any math. If you are looking for a game with maybe 10% math splashed in here and there then this is good if you are looking for a game that will drill math facts into them this is not it.
I have also purchased math coach which is excellent.....we can totally avoid flash cards with this and my second favorite purchase is learn math which is not a teaching tool but good solid review and practice.

This is the first Maths game that my son hasn't finished within a week. It has heaps of levels to keep him going. He says it's fun -- we got it coz he loved the CD-ROM version before. This he says is similar. He was almost disappointed when he had been playing it off and on for a weekend and had 'only' got to level three. I thought 'great! - this game will last a few months, this time!'. And it has. And he's still not finished. So good on them for packing in lots of difficulty levels.
