DS Critic Reviews

On one hand it does exactly what it set out to do: deliver a solid brain-teaser game focused on math problems and logic. On the other hand it fails at several game design choices such as frustrating AI and poor presentation.

The gameplay is really simple; it just consists of selecting cards and shifting the order of cards using the stylus. The game is more about logical and mathematical thinking than true gameplay.

At the end of the day Challenge Me: Math Workout does what it is supposed to do, it tests your cranial skills using a form of mathematics. It just isn’t that exciting.

Consisting only of two incredibly limited modes, neither of which particularly suited to any age group, and featuring little else, Maths Workout is a hard sell to recommend over that of other notable number-featuring brain ticklers like Brain Training or Professor Layton.

It's certainly a disappointing experience all around, and I can't see any reason to buy it.

No one is going to cough up cash for two games that, to be honest, can be played with bits of paper if you have the time and inclination to make them.
