4.0 out of 5 stars Game has its ups and downs, October 19, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Math Missions Grades 3rd-5th with Card Game [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

I really like this game because it makes learning math fun. I say this because after every game, you get 10$ and when you get 150$, you get to start your own arcade! I don't like this game because when you exit, when you come back after exiting it dosen't save your money or level! I think that this product deserves a 4 because it has its ups and downs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dated, but the games are fun, December 13, 2009

This product is dated and low resolution, but the games are quite good.

Like a lot of math education games, this appears to be a product from the 1990's repackaged and sold as new. The resolution is low, the graphics weak, and there are no options to set to higher resolution screens. I suppose the fact that the game is listed as compatible with Win 95 and Win 98 should have been a warning sign.

That caveat aside, the games are excellent, have value for speeding math skills, and kept my child's attention for hours. If you buy this expecting an older product, then I would recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Game; Great Math, October 3, 2009

My kids loved this game because it's fun, fast moving and has quirky humor. I loved it because kids work on great math and logic problems that are not tedious or frustrating. I wish there was a version for higher grades. As with many of these softwares, the kids "top out" after a few levels and then they're done with the disk. But on the way they have improved their math and logic skills.
