Video Game Reviews of Spelling Challenges and More
Customer Review: S P E L L IT!
Summary: 4 Stars
My 7 year old isn't much into this game. I love it and I'm 45! I think this game is perfect for 12 and up, particularly for anyone who loves to spell and be challenged. The spelling is not challenging for me but there is an area for parts of speech that one must achieve in order to advance in level. I've only played this game for an hour or so and am at level 57. I like the game but I am not totally challenged by it.Customer Review: Noun, verb, adjective?
Summary: 4 Stars
It's been a long time since I took grammar in school. Some of the games here are definitely more fun than others, but as a whole it is entertaining. I don't particularly like the spelling bee portion, it is strange that it pops up the correct spelling and you just parrot it back. I prefer the spelling bee in Word Coach, where the game speaks the word and you have to spell it. I would also prefer if definitions were provided, particularly for words that you get wrong. I could also do without the scoring being transferred to a monetary prize.
Negatives aside. this is a perfect game if you have short periods of time to kill.
Customer Review: fun game, not well edited
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a fun game that my kids enjoy playing. There are a variety of games and 100 levels. Unfortunately, I have found that there are some words misspelled. One example is a middle eastern bread that the game spells "pitta." I looked it up in a dictionary at home and on line, and a "pitta" is a bird, but "pita" is a middle eastern bread. It just seems like a spelling program could be a little better edited.Customer Review: More suitable for a younger age
Summary: 3 Stars
I read the reviews before purchasing this game because I was a skeptic. Well, I should've went with my own mind. I wasn't sure if I would like it and I was right. It doesn't have many modes or options. The levels aren't long and as far as spelling is concerned it does not reach a suitable age appropriate level to keep my attention. This would be a good game for a child and possibly even teenager but not an adult. It does refresh your memory when it comes to nouns, verbs, etc. so for those whom may be interested in that aspect of the game, I say go for it. If you are more interested in spelling, this is not for you.Customer Review: Great for kids, but not enough words/levels for adults
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought my 60-year-old father a Nintendo DS Lite along with a brain exercise game pack that included Spelling Challenges and More, Brain Age 2, and My Spanish Coach. We have enjoyed the different word games, especially Mishmash (similar to the newspaper Jumble puzzle) and Fill It In (similar to Wheel of Fortune). Unfortunately, Spelling Challenges includes only 100 levels. This may seem like a lot, but after just 5 days of playing, I reached Level 100. Now I keep seeing the same words over and over. Argh! If you are buying this gift for a child, then it's wonderful. My 2 young nephews love it. However, if you are an adult with a good vocabulary and a passing familiarity with French (many of the words in Levels 90-100 are French words in English), this game may be too easy for you.
