Good game but could have been better May 2, 2008
I like this game and it is a lot of fun. I have been playing for a week now and I feel that I improved my vocabulary slightly. I wish that they had an option where they actually said the word, because some of the words in the game I just cant say, so it would be nice to hear it. Also, it would have been nice if they used the words in a sentence so you actually see how it is used. Overall this is a good game game but if they added those options that I mentioned, it would make this a great game.
 Great game for increasing your vocabulary! April 21, 2008
I bought this game for my adult daughter who is working on brain rehab. She struggles with word finding, so I thought this might help. She loves it and continues to play it daily. Whenever we see each other, I also play it. I really appreciate the chance for both of us to improve our vocabulary!
a helpful additive to reading comprehension April 14, 2008
I honestly can say that I normally do not allow my children to play on their Nintendo DS's during the school week but I have made an exception for this.......it helps my sons develop a greater vocabulary so that reading can be done with more ease. The fact that it is in a game format inspires the kids to play on it......whatever helps them in reading and at school is a good thing where I am concerned.
 It's ok for entertainment, not a study tool April 7, 2008

letters in the soup, tetris kind of a game does not make you learn anything. You learn techniques to score rather then expand your vocabulary. You will see what I'm saying if you played it. It's just how fast can you copy letters.
The daily sessions are too long. You should decide how long you want to play not the meter.
Some words/definations does not sound right. deathless? isn't immortal more appropriate? I never use that word before.
The defination for 'termination' was to end a pregnency. I think termination has more defination then just ending a pregnency and certainly not apporiate for an E game. And there's others but I'm just writing what's on my head.
Lastly, handwriting reconition is not too good compaired to brain age. specially have problem with E which it thinks it's a G and G might be a C.
I was going to get the spanish version too but after the experience, I don't think I'll learn a thing with these games.
Just my thoughts
Thank You
 Could be so much better March 28, 2008

It has potential, but falls way short. It needs pronunciations with the words - much like My Spanish Coach. It should also include part of speech in the definition, and at some point, should give you an example of the word being used. They need more games - some are just too tedious to do very often. It focuses more on spelling than on learning definitions. Nonetheless, both my husband and I have persisted through the game for two months and have both reached a point where our expression potential has not updated for three weeks of daily play regardless of the fact that we have reached our word quota almost every day. I hope UBI Soft will put some more time into this game and make the improvements necessary to make it both useful and fun.
