Ya, like the game.Just got started on it and it is testing you. Was awed by how it puts you on a particular level according to your age.Its not just a game you have to spell words ,but to also recognize their spelling and if its correct.I was'nt to bad at spelling when "I" was in school but my spelling skills have lagged.Found alot of words I miss spell.HA.If your a word or spelling fan you'll like this one I think.It will also test you on nouns, verbs,adjetives "seee can't spell."HA.I think its a good game for brushing up on your language skills and spelling.Will be good for kids of all ages i believe since it puts you on a spelling level according to your age.Makes you think"."good for the brain" ha.I recommend it highly".
It might be fun, but I don't see much or any educational value in this game. This is what spelling is about.you hear the word and then write it down, but in this case the developers took a few short cuts. For someone who is learning a new word and learning to spell it, actually hearing the word is pretty critical. Overall, I think it might be good for someone with a good vocabulary trying to refine their spelling and just have fun playing a game, but I bought this as a educational game for my kids. It is a spelling game where they flash the words to you before you type them, and the words are never read out load to the player. Then they make everything timed, so there is pressure to go fast. My 7 year old son reads at a very high level, but I wanted him to recognize words he hears, so this game really falls for me.Graphics are pretty weak, games aren't horrible, but nothing to write home about.
I bought this for my little boy, but the adults have taken over. My family can't get enough of this. Great stuff
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. The guy talks if he had said the word and shown the definition it would have been better. It's more of a memory game as they flash the word on the screen then say spell it. The sound is like it is playing thru a tin can. This game is not very exciting or challenging. It started me at level 38 because of my age. I'm not really a great speller and wanted to really be helped to get better.The game is just so-so.
The game also has a list at the end of each mini-game of the words that the child gets wrong. I only wish I could input her spelling lists from school to play with. 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. 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. 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.
I don't think that adults would like it, but for a kid, it is fabulous. 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. That is helpful. That being said, it is the perfect platform for kids. I bought this for my second grader and she loves it.
My daughter thinks it is so cool that she earns money for the high scores. 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.
