My View
This game is educational, teaches spelling and vocabulary and still manages to be good fun. As you work through the training it unlocks new mini games and it gives you an expression potential every day based on how well you are doing and gives you a new job as you progress so you might go from teacher after a few days training to lawyer.
The games
Missing Letter (Words have a missing letter - find the correct letter to score) Word Shuffle (Fill in the spot the definitions corresponding to the correct word.) Split decision (Choose between two definitions - seen on TV advert) Pasta letter (spell out words from mixed up letters sinking in a soup.) Block Letter (Spell any of the listed word with the blocks. When a word is correctly completed, it blocks are removed, this is like an intelligent version of Tetris can be quite difficult at first but I love it.) Safecracker (A word is the code of the safe. Read the definition, turn the safe type knob to the correct letters before the DS to win points These games have increased difficulty levels as you progress.
After each activity is completed, the list of words and definitions are given. The same words are often used in many of the games you play during that session presumably to reinforce them. There are the usual graphs and stats provided to chart your progress.
I loved this game at the beginning and used it often for the first month or so. My problem with it is that it expects you to cover too much in one session, I now play each game once and then hand it over to one of the kids to complete the session and get my job upgraded.
Definitely recommended for anyone with school age kids, mine don't realize that they are learning and seem to quite enjoy it. Adults will pick it up when they are bored but I don't think it'll bring you back day after day.
