- Can only get so far...
I liked this game to start with, as I was unlocking new games and new levels. But as several people have said, it got repetitive and almost a chore, and the only reward was to see my EP improve. However, I reached 80% and have played several times since, and it has stopped increasing. So I've given up on it... It was interesting to see someone's review, saying that their game corrupted at 80%. Has anyone ever got beyond 80?

- Error Message
I bought both Dr Kawashima's games before I bought this one. I recently reached a level of 80% Expression Potential. However, at the 80% mark, the game displayed an error message informing me that "This game has been corrupted and all stored data will be lost". I touched the screen with the provided plastic pen and, yes all my data had been removed.
I've had to restart the game and I'm going through the lower levels again. This is not a major issue for me but it is disappointing.

- Brilliant game
I love this game! It is wonderful being able to do allsorts of different word-based puzzles, and other linguists may feel the same, and non-linguists too of course! There are a variety of different puzzles, and different levels become unlocked in each of them. After each game, the new words reappear, with their definitions, which you can reread through, or choose to exit if you know them already.

Spelling, guessing missing letters, beating the clock on a lot of them, competing against a set time for the task, choosing the right word to match the definition, great fun if you like this sort of thing!! Worth spending a few minutes looking at the guidance for writing the letters just to get the hang of how the game recognises them such ... Read More:

- nice puzzles shame about daily objectives
at the start this game was really good fun to play, meeting daily objectives was fun but with everything unlocked there is little left to comeback to or encourage you to keep going.

the increasing of your daily objective results in you having to play each game at least twice which is makes daily training grow dull quick.

the games themselves are good but are overshadowed by the need to meet objectives, unlocking them all doesnt take long either, at least brain train doesnt require you toplay the same games multiple times.

- Creeping Americanisms
This is a fun game, especially if there is someone else in your household with whom you can compete to get the high-score for each game. However, as others have pointed out, the Americanisms that have crept through can be pretty irritating. For the most part, spellings have, it seems, been converted to British English, though it still insists that homoeopathy should be spelt homeopathy. The spelling tournament mini-game is frustrating as the accent of the person reading out the words is American, so make sure you check the meaning of the word rather than just relying on what it sounds like - for instance, "chorale" was pronounced like "corral". "Ampoule" was pronounced according to the American spelling, ampule, so that it came out sounding like ... Read More:
