Great stuff My family can't get enough of this. I bought this for my little boy, but the adults have taken over.
The guy talks if he had said the word and shown the definition it would have been better. The sound is like it is playing thru a tin can. This game is not very exciting or challenging. I'm not really a great speller and wanted to really be helped to get better.The game is just so-so. The typewriter is not set like a typewriter it is in alphabetical order which slows you down until you get used to it.For young kids is would be okay but not so great for adults. It started me at level 38 because of my age. It's more of a memory game as they flash the word on the screen then say spell it.
In reference to other reviews I have read in cyber-space, this is probably not a game for adults that can spell ok and the hokeyness would definitely get old. My daughter thinks it is so cool that she earns money for the high scores. Each level so far seems to have maybe 30 words and they seem easy to me because they are everyday words, but to her, it ends up being challenging. The game also has a list at the end of each mini-game of the words that the child gets wrong.
I bought this for my second grader and she loves it. That being said, it is the perfect platform for kids. My favorite mini-game she plays is where she either has to pick out the properly spelled word out of commonly misspelled ones and vice versa. I don't think that adults would like it, but for a kid, it is fabulous.
That is helpful. I only wish I could input her spelling lists from school to play with. Some of its features include flashing words that the kids then have to spell back, and using short definitions to figure out what to spell. It is also helping her on her math place values because she is always running to me to tell me the dollar amount that she won.
It's my least favorite of all the DS games I own. It's kinda boring for older adults but for kids/teens it's much more fun.
Its a great game. There are also challenges on what is a noun, adjective, verb etc. I bought this game for my 7 year old son only to find out its fun for every one. It has 100 levels of spelling challenges.
