.com In this math-building software package for kids, M&M's candies have turned the factory upside down and torn up all the M&M's candy formulas. It's up to you and Yellow to make things right. As you race through the factory, you'll face churning chocolate, rampaging robots, cascading candy ... and along the way, math drills to test your smarts and challenge your game reflexes. Children, ages 5 to 10, practice age-appropriate addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division drills while they race through a wild and funny action game. With stunning, nonviolent, high-resolution 3-D graphics and a high-paced adventure setting, this is a learning game kids will love.

Love this game!! Worth every penny
This is an awesome game for learning math facts through division. I used it as an ESE teacher 10 years ago and my students loved it. I now have a first grader and wanted to buy it again but was concerned it might not work on my Windows 7 because it says Windows 95/98 on the box. I bought it anyway since I do still have an older computer but it works perfect on both my Windows7 and 98! I recommend this to anyone who has a student or child who needs to learn math facts. It uses old school arrows and space bar to jump run and spin but I can't get my son ( who is used to video games and his ipad) to stop playing!! The graphics are still great and it is a fun game - way better than flash cards. You will use it for years. One word of advice - make sure they play with the math ON because it can be turned off easily.

The game looks great, but it only runs on Mac Classic! Who has that any more? The ad didn't say that Mac Classic was required, so the company allowed a return.

OK but too hard
This is a pretty good game but it's realy tough. Too hard for the 5 to 10 year old kids that the game is aimed at.

A definite must have
Looked everywhere for this game. My son really enjoys playing this game on the computer. When he scratched the disc, we knew we needed a replacement...fast:)

If you need support beware....
I give it 1 star due to the performance of Simon and Shuster's technical support group. We never got the game installed and configured correctly. We had trouble getting the game installed on Win ME (see the other review) so we reformatted the computer and reinstalled Win98 but still had no luck. We met the game requirements and had typical hardware (nvidia video, sound blaster sound) on a Gateway desktop. We "worked" with the maker's tech support group and never got the problem resolved in over a month. The support was terrible. You can't get through on the phone (a long distance call), the fax number in the game pamphlet is wrong and it took them a week or 10 days to respond via email. There's nothing meaningful in their on-line support areas and there's not contact info either. You're left with one of the 3 options above. Actually support was ok at the initial level (courteous and quick) but once it was "elevated" for resolution the problems started it. Our problem was probably either a hardware issue but they couldn't figure it out (or never really tried?). Too bad though. My son plays the game at school and really liked it. The demo game ran on the same computer so I guess he'll continue to use it at school or play the demo. I'll think twice about their other software after this experience.
