Spelling Challenges and More! (Nintendo DS, 2007)

I am an adult gamer who likes vocabulary & spelling. They were my favorite subjects in school. I was excited to see they made a game out of it!!

There are variety of word games. Pick the one that's misspelled, the one that's correct, unscramble the words, & spell the word they flash at you quickly. Real neat. I really enjoyed it. The games are timed and you collect coins depending on how well you did. It keeps track of your points and you can try to beat others with the score or beat your own score. You enter your age and they'll give you your skill according to your age. If it's a 9 year old, they'll give 9 year old's reading level. If you enter an adult's age, the words get harder. You also unlock some new games once you beat certain games or level.

I've played with it for 40 minutes and I like it. I can't wait to go back and play some more. Everything is done with the stylus and there is no problems with it's usage. The only downside is that it does not use a QWERTY as a way to find the letters. It's in alphabet order. I am a typist and I know where the letters are in QWERTY way but since it's in alphabet order, I learned pretty quickly where the letters are and became faster in finding the letters I wanted eventually. I don't know how this game is long term but so far it's a great word game.
