I got this for my 9YO son for his bday. Amazingly, he now plays this more than Pokemon (not sure for how long as Pokemon is the all time favorite, but that's impressive). This game is supposed to be educational, I'm not convinced of any educational value, but it is fun.

The player gets to be a research scientist and conduct various experiments and create funny things - like pink hair dye. My son loves the wacky things he needs to create. The games graphics are comic book like and very amusing. Looking over his shoulder, the science lab does look real enough for a game. There are beakers and bunsen burners and vials. The players pour and pound and mix ingredients and weigh things and do other scientific stuff.

I'm almost certain this game won't turn you into a world renowned scientist, but you'll have a lot of fun playing it.

This game is poorly made. I'm a science teacher and bought this to see what it was like. There isn't a real set of directions and figuring out what to do is tough. I'm not sure what science you might learn from it. Don't buy this game unless its under $10 and you have a general interest in science related games.

I bought this for my budding scientist - my nine year old daughter:-). I asked her what she thought of it after a day or two of playing and she said, "this is the best game ever!". I was delighted she liked it so well and that it was related to her field of interest.I am glad I got it for her and wanted to share.

This was a good game. It had a fun control scheme. The story was pretty good too. Unfortunately, it had a glitch. After the second set of missions, it would not let me advance, no matter what I did. When I got it, it was brand new, sealed in the package and it still had a glitch. I am somewhat disappointed in this purchase.

When I ordered this game for my son, I didn't realize that it did not come with a box or instruction booklet. I think my son muddled his way through, but it would have been nice to know this upfront.

Ok, so I guess I should have known this game was targeted for a younger player, but I thought it would be fun and I was WRONG! It is very repetitive and even when you get different things to create you do the exact same procedures to do it. I think even a child would lose interest soon.
