Rating: - Really like this game. I can see it will improve my vocabulary.
I can give this game a 2 thumbs up. It does just what it says it helps you to learn new words and what they mean and how to spell them all in a fun game setting.
Sometimes it gives you the word and you chooses between two diffinitions. Others you write out the word or fill in the missing letter. I highly recommend this to all learning and Brain games fans.
Rating: - Good but not Great, with some limitations
This vocabulary builder works nicely with our computor system, and offers easy access for children wishing to build their vocabulary.
It's drawbacks were not so much technical - there are plenty of options - as audience: most young children are so attuned to video games that even this rather hyped up approach fails to live up to the heightened images and excitement generated by the entertainment universe children readily gravitate to.
Not for a child who stuggles, more for one who wishes to learn more, is already a good learner, and is not bothered by the lack of gimmicks and the usual plethora of game tie ins many children, sadly, demand from modern educational tools.
Rating: - A Great Educational Device
When I turned 49 this year, I realized this was my year for self improvement. I read more, exercised more, cut back eating a lot of red meat and started to do puzzle books to increase my memory.
My Cousin Jeremy spent a few weeks with me. He had a Gameboy DS. I started playing Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day! and I was hooked. I broke down and bought a DS unit (see Jeremy, Its all your fault!). Jeremy gave me Brain Age 2 as a gift. But I wanted more.
I was never a fast finger sort. I was more a trivia based/fact filled information junkie person. So I bought Crosswords DS (see my review)..and I wanted more.
A friend suggested this program and I bought it. I have been writing for many years. I still found this program interesting. It is for young and old alike.
Now the problem I have it letter reconizing on a timed game situation, which is hit or miss. The same problem I have with Crosswords DS gameboy game. The system see an I for an L or an N for a H. Once you get passed that problem, the software is a nice tool for education for young and old alike to have a GREAT VOCABULARY! I think since this is done is a game like arena, we should hand this out in schools and tell the teens, "Sure play your copy of "My Word Coach" or "Brain Age 2"..I know a few teachers, but maybe with this kids may learn
I would have enjoyed a lot less timed games and a harder level for adults. But on the whole, it is a great software for those learning words and others who want to keep their brain active
