 Compulsive! April 26, 2008
4 out of 8 found this review helpful
This game is a fab way to waste a few hours. It soon got compulsive and I found that I didn't want to put it down. I only quit when the batteries were flat!
Highly recommended for those who, like me, are total math freaks.

I loved this game. My favorite thing about it is you are absolutely required to 'attend class' and take the tests for a certain amount of time before you advance a level. By that I mean you have to show up at least every day for (at least 4 days in a row) before you advance. There is an option to turn off the sound effects as well as the music. You can also play peer to peer. There is division, multiplication, subtraction and addition (at least only on lvl 1 there is)
If you have trouble with maths this game is for you.
 A Must for all primary school children today. April 5, 2008

I bought this game because I was struggling to help my daughter with maths homework. I have finished school 30 years ago! I figured as my daughter loves her ds this game would fit in well. I also have a private tutor once a week, and she thought this game was a great idea and would benefit all children of Primary school age. She was appalled that schools are not teaching kids their times tables like they used to. When they do they;re only teaching up to tens, not twelves like we used to.This game demonstrates maths like it used to be taught. Same techniques for add, subtraction and multiplication are used in this game. What a relief! These days they teach kids 4 different ways of calculating sums hoping that at least one method will sink in. Success rates are low in our schools. So I would recommend this game 100 per cent. I dont feel like I;m bullying her to get it done because she loves her ds. Have to agree with previous statements made about game not recognising certain numbers.All brain training programmes have same infuriating fault.Try speaking the colours on the first brain train programme and you;ll see what I mean. Seems to relate to womens voices better.

It really made me get better at Maths but I would like it if there were more features. Buy this game if you want to get better at Maths because it's pretty cheap.
 A dip in quality February 29, 2008

This is the latest in a series of games designed to help improve your cognitive skills, in this case by testing basic maths skills, encouraging you to become faster and more accurate at every day maths problems.
The hundred cell method is mildy interesting, but overall this game is dissapointing. It is nowhere near as fun as the other brain training games, and the games you play are quite boring. Obviously it was always going to be a bit one dimensional given that it concentrates on maths where other games focus on various abilities, but that is no excuse for the lack of imagination on display here and controls that require nothing except writing numbers. A poor use of DS technology, and completely inessential for anyone with the original games.
