Advantages: Excellent quick fire program
Disadvantages: WILL NOT WORK WITH XP....EVER

...and this version has been replaced by a new version for XP and there is not going to be an update for this unless you purchase the new V5 platinum edition and then download a patch....I am so angry as I have purchased XP and installed it and with Easy cd or Direct cd installed hardly any of my hardware works...not even a CD rom.

Advantages: Very good way for children to learn maths
Disadvantages: Some children may not like it due to being on a computer

...good and made game play pretty good. The game has many different levels to it and the difficulty level can be changed to whatever suites the child. Due to this your child can progress more and more as he/she goes through the game. Unfortunatly for some children you have to complete the equations to progress and if you are not very good at maths (like me) then it could take you quite a while to complete. This game is very old now and due to this you could probly pick it up for £5 to £10 pounds but i am sure that it would be hard to find in shops so using the internet is advised. Maths Blaster ages 6-9 is suitable for the National Curriculum, Key Stages 1 and 2. Maths blaster ages 6-9 also supports revision for SATS age 7. Minimum requirements: PC CD-ROM- *Windows 95 *Pentium 60Mhz *16 MB RAM *16 bit high colour graphics *Windows... Read review
