I was going to wait for one or two missions before giving a thorough review... In fact maybe we could ask for a sub-forum in Recommended Resources for reviewing educational games and online resources? Hmmm...
The short of it is that DS6 really, really likes it. And... a positive for us... it's going into things that he does not know. While they game does a good job explaining concepts, some concepts do require that I explain it in a little more detail. For example, distributive and communicative properties of multiplication (we're currently on for this mission). He'll get it, but it helps if I give a little more explanation that is given in the game. Considering that this game is meant to be an adjunct to learning (or simply reinforcement) that doesn't surprise me. As mathy as he is, I wouldn't expect him to get all of the concepts just from this game.
I'll post more probably by the end of the week... unless school starting (Monday) distracts us.
