Not happy with this product at all. It is too outdated. The audio is scratchy and and the graphics are terrible. I would not recommend this product to anyone. However, any of the Jumpstart 3D products seem to be really good.

I regret this purchase

I bought the software to supplement my elementary aged brother's math skills, specifically with multiplication and fractions. However, the software does not allow one to choose the area of practice. It's basically a game which proceeds in levels testing random subject areas. It shows a problem and the kid enters the response using the arrow keys. In addition, the user is forced to listen to a narrative of the storyline (and directions) each time the game is played.
This was certainly not what I expected. I would not recommend it, especially if you're looking to zone in on a specific skill.

Entertaining for a little while

This is an ok product, which entertains for a little while, but my daughter got tired of it after the first round, since it repeats the challenges, just at a higher level of difficulty....not a smart choice for kids nowadays.

Poorly written software

I wish I could review the gameplay, but I can only review the technical aspects:
1)You need each of the discs in for each of the games (5 CD's total), even with fully installed games. I personally like to boycott companies that use key discs, as it really makes pirated software better then purchased software (I may get it via bittorrent to remove this problem).
2)My hard drive has 80GB free, but Jumpstart seems to feel that I have "Critically low disk space". There is a solution for servers on their site, but none for end users.
No thanks.
