This game is awesome! After working with it, you can really see improvement in your skills AND Dr. Kawashima gives you a chuckle or four as well! I highly recommend this game to anyone from 8 years old to 90!!
I tell you what, when I started using this game I was 80 years old and now with (I'm sorry to say)intermittent practice I am 57 years old. My brain age that is, the body is 65!! lol I really do like this game and am glad I got my DSi on sale at Christmas time!!
I am very pleased with this game, I can already tell my math skills have improved. I share this game with my sister and she can't stand this game and gets very frustrated. Her main complaints are that the game misreads her handwriting and marks her otherwise correct answers wrong. Plus the voice feature marks correct answers wrong too if you are not close enough to the microphone of do not speak clearly. I really like this game and will learn in the future to have better speaking skills and handwriting. Awesome game.
