Video Game Reviews of Bookworm

Customer Review: Great spelling fun for all ages
Summary: 4 Stars

The concept is pretty simple - spelling, yet it's easy to get sucked into the game and just keep playing and playing and playing. The nice part is that it's FUN -while it is helping improve your spelling and word skills, especially for kids this is a much more valuable game than many others that are out there.

The game design is very easy to use and maneuver through, and you don't have to be a great speller to begin with to play the game - the simplest of words are acceptable. I like that they also give you the definition of each word you spell, it kind of makes you feel like you're in a real spelling competition.

I definitely recommend this for both adults and kids - if you're just looking to keep your spelling skills up to par, or just something to pass the time, or especially if you want to give your kids a fun game that is educational as well.

A high-energy word puzzle game hosted by Lex the bookworm, Bookworm for DS/DSi challenges players use their vocabulary to create words from a play area of cascading individual letters. Time is of the essence though, as the play area contains red glowing letter tiles, that if unused will "burn down" the player's library if they reach the bottom of the screen, ending the game. The DS/DSi version of Bookworm contains the the same addictive action gamers have craved since the game appeared for PC, but also includes improvements like a wireless multiplayer mode and unlimited levels.
