3 Stars Fun for word-nerds…does not make the best use of the Wii interface.
If you love vocabulary based games and go to sites like freerice often, you will find this game fun. It offers you a choice of instructors and games. You have a required quota for the day and your instructor will let you know how you’re doing. In one game you have to choose between 2 words based on the meaning, which is what we play the most. In another you fill in the blanks of a word by spray painting the letter on the screen. This game is a bit frustrating because it’s difficult to spray paint the letter with the remote and you lose points if you take too much time. There are some other games too. Playing it as a multi-player game is fun, only my kid scored higher than me just because she is better at using the Wii-mote. I ended up clicking the wrong answer sometimes just because the interface is not as responsive or intuitive as some other Wii games (like Super Mario Galaxy, for instance).
Overall the game is fun but is not really designed to teach you usage of new words. It is built more like a testing game to test your vocabulary.
4 Stars Fun!
Ok this is fun and educational. Some of the level types are a bit akward. The good part is, you can stick to the game level types that you like and still learn all the words. Overall this is a fantastic tool. I am well educated, with a couple of bachelors degrees and it teaches me new words!
4 Stars Useful learning game.
This game is great with a lot of words to learn… One thing I didn’t like is the spray paint game, but if you have a DS you can link it to use the DS to play the spray paint. And that’s a lot of fun. So, overall great game, if you have the DS, it’s even better.
5 Stars Fun and educational!
Good game that makes learning new words fun! I was surprised at how quick it came up with words I didn’t know, and I really liked the way it worked those words back into the next set of games played, as a method to ensure you learn them. For the price, a great gaming value with longevity!
4 Stars expand your vocabulary
This is a great way to brush up on your vocabulary. And also learn lots of new words that you never knew. The interface of the game is very engaging and some of the games are very entertaining. It’s great that there’s lots of games to play solo, as well as with a friend. This game is great for all ages.
