Math Evolver September 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am 8 years old. I got math evolver for my birthday. this game is fun for learning math. I get to shoot the guardians with my EMP blaster. In mission number three called "The Valley" I go up to the top of really tall towers with green lights at the top and I get into these turrets, and I over load guardian's shields. its kind of scary because in the fifth mission, the building's so dark. I especially like missions 1 3 "Xeno Island " and "The Valley" You need an Intel Processer to run this on a mac, so make sure you have one. Also in the valley there are guardian sentinels and they don't have shields so you can just kill them, but the ones that do have shields are forming something my visor calls a guardian phalanx. its fun because throughout the game you can find out about different types of guardians. I recommend this game because it's exciting and teaches math while you have fun!br /br / br /br /br /br /
