Good Game [Posted on 2003-02-16] This game covers a wide range of difficulty. My 5 year old son plays on level 1, and he can answer the questions himself (he is very smart). My 7 year old son (also very bright) chooses difficulty level 2, and the questions are challenging for him. They have spent many hours playing Mia, and they have enjoyed it so much that we just purchased Mia Science and Mia Reading. Way to go Mia!
fabulous!! [Posted on 2003-03-09] This is a GREAT program. I use it for homeschooling my son. The graphics are gorgeous, and there are lots of math games to play-- you can either play them in the sequence of the story, or just pick and choose the math games from the "options" menu. The math itself is on the easy side, my six year old can play level two on most games and up to level four on others. I am a math phobe myself, though, and I wish I could have used this program as a child. So I would especially recommend it for parents with math-phobic kids, of any age!
This Is Not Boring! [Posted on 2003-09-22] My four-year-old daughter is almost through level one now without my help. She complains that it is gboringh but then keeps playing it for more than an hour after her complaint. I think her frustrations come from being unable to easily and quickly navigate around Miafs world. Sometimes when I come to help her because she is stuck, I see that she has clicked on everything too quickly while trying to find what she needs to do next, so the game cannot properly respond. So far the math in level one has been no trouble at all. The difficult part was the days of the week, which she is now learning thanks to this fun, educational program. I look forward to seeing level two soon! The Math Rabbit program we had before this was truly boring for her. This is a welcome addition to our CD-ROM case.

Don't Buy [Posted on 2005-12-19] Unfortunately, we were sucked in by other "good" reviews but when we got it, it was a disaster. First, it took forever, to install. Second, it will not install on the hard disk and requires loading the CD-ROM each time which means the adults must do it. Third, the user spends very little time doing math problems because the user must go through first a lengthy story which cannot be skipped each time a new game is loaded, and then must spend an inordinate amount of time taking a journey between phases of the math game trying to locate secret clues as to how to open the game. There are no solutions available and the user can get stuck . Next, the program can be adjusted for different levels of ability but when we set it at seven years, it went to third and fourth grade math. Maybe, in Japan but not here. Moreover, the program sometimes locks up. There are much better programs available which do not have these hang-ups and are a better buy.
