Whether your are playing Greek number mode or Egyptian letter mode, the number one rule to keep in mind is keeping the scales balanced but its not that easy. As you try to gain points by completing equations or words, blocks drop down from above and throw off the weight of the scales. Thats right; the game is not on your side. Heavy blocks and dynamite blocks begin to complicate things as well, adding to the pandemonium; let either scale tip too soon, and your hopes at making the online high-scores will be history. But be sure to keep an eye out for the golden blocks; take advantage of them, and your name could be shining in the Top 10. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.
Tried to call for the "free demo" advertised on the radio to see if I would like the Rosetta Stone method of learning a language - I was told that I could "try" the program for just $79, with three more payments of 79 due monthly. I said that I just wanted to try the demo and that I was not comfortable with committing to a $320 fee - the operator asked me how much I was comfortable with?? Was I buying a car? Then he asked me why I wanted to learn the language, who I would be speaking with, how many words of the language I knew...why does this matter? Trying to bond with me? I ended up politely telling him that our conversation was going nowhere and that he had lost a potential customer.
Summary
Shameless upsell - unable to get through to the operator that I just wanted the free demo because he would not allow me to talk; I am certain that all of this is very deliberate. Very disappointed, I will look elsewhere for language software.

Cerebral, educating, and elicits quick usage of functional word and math skills.
Cons
Needs more color...really.
Summary
Very good game- the scale makes this a time competitive game. It will improve your word recognition, The math part is really so unique, it takes a bit of getting used to, overall a great game in my opinion.
