Amazon.com Review:
Math skills come in handy when playing this mystical, mathematical Aladdin adventure. By solving math problems that test skills ranging from addition and subtraction to patterns, estimation, and logic, children can save the day and rescue Aladdin and his friends from the forces of evil. A wicked genie named Bizarrah has escaped from her lamp and has captured Jasmine, Abu, and Aladdin in Agrabah. Players must do the math to put an end to Bizarrah, once and for all.
Movie-quality animation and an astounding number of multilevel, age-appropriate math games make this software a classic. Whether kids are playing the Dungeon Games, Agrabah Games, Magical Carnival Games, or Pyramid Games, they'll love the challenging gameplay and adventure this unique software offers.
Games range from Yazoul's Number Wall, which has kids making mental computations by using addition and subtraction skills, to a fast-paced virtual marble game, Square Up, where geometry and logical reasoning rule as kids race the carnival barker by being the first to create squares in a challenging grid screen. No flying carpet required, just bring along your math skills for hours of challenging math fun. (Ages 6 to 9) --Tina Velgos

This game has a great design and excellent graphics. Unfortunately that's where the good stuff ends. It's very very simple and not challenging at all. I bought it for my 7 and 4 year old, hoping that they could both play it on different levels, but they were bored with it pretty quickly. They both went through it twice on the most difficult level (there are only three) and after that they didn't want to play it at all. The game doesn't go above single digits for additions and I haven't seen anything that use subtraction. Logic problem are very trivial too even for 4 year old.
It's not a complete waste of money considering that it's not too expansive, but pretty close to it.

I have a 6 year old boy playing this educational game and he really likes it. The characters help the child solve the math problems and
they're very humorous. Graphics are excellent and it has several levels of difficulty. I highly recommend this game.

This is the third copy of Disney's Math Quest with Aladdin that I have purchased. I home school my three children and they have worn out each disk in turn. It is my three-year-old's turn now. In order to continue to find the characters and items in the game, the player must use math skills such as greater than/less than, addition, subtraction, multiplication, patterns, shapes, sequences, mosaics, even finding a path on a grid and following directions. If you can stand the voice of the bird (who by the way is the voice of "Digit" on PBS's "Cyberchase")then even you will enjoy these games. Many are like an old carnival.

The first thing that stands out about this title is the sensational cinema quality video (like the disney cartoon of the same name). It is just so much more attractive than other cheap looking kids maths programs. The adventure set up is also a great hook for kids and gets them in much more than the usual maths exercises after unrelated maths exercise in other programs.
It is excellent for shapes and numbers. Shapes/spatial/geometry is very well covered with games such as mosaics, geonyms (a type of mosaic competition against a computer opponent, and triangle (tangram type) key puzzles. Numbers are well covered in a 100 grid changing wall and throughout the program. Addition is also well done in a number wall, and a very entertaining crystal mixing logic game to make potions to release Aladdin from the genie vortex. All of these are suitable for younger children any my 5 year olds enjoy these (with some parental help).
On the down side subtraction is only incidentally covered as a fall back when your kids make an addition error and need to backtrack. Also division and multiplication are only briefly covered and would not be to the third grade standard suggested in the documentation. However it is excellent to see that algebra is introduced in such a painless and novel way with the fruit trading game.
Overall it is an excellent introduction to maths for children who already know their numbers to 30 or so and have had some exposure to math. ... Read More

I bought this for my daughter when she was about 7. She struggled at first, but it was so motivating she kept trying until she learned the skills to get all the way through the game. In the meantime, her 5 year old brother started watching. He was soon able to win all the games (with a little coaching from big sis). He is in 1st grade and gets 100% on all his math tests. I think that playing Aladdin made math more intuitive for him. He still plays the game at age 7 and loves it.
