This is a fun game to play with 6 different training games and 2 games to play for fun. Also has a few multiplayer games. In the spelling be game it is sometimes hard to understand the word that is said so it is hard to spell it right. Overall worth the price.

There are really only dictionary definitions here. No words used in sentences, no multiple scenarios for usage.
But for a dictionary definition game, it’s as fun as it can possibly be. And, you get a ton of good repetition in various ways. It’s all repetition of the same dictionary definitions, but they do this repetition in various and inventive ways.
The game also adjusts very well to your skill level. And, the words are interesting.

This game did well with a topic that can be very boring. There are difficulty levels, and several VS. multiplayer games. Like most games, many are locked until you play more. All games are scored by how many you get right as well as getting a bonus for being faster then time allowed or lose points for going over.
Games:
Missing letter – spray paint the missing letter (easy) or spray the correct letter in the word that is misspelled (medium) (I had almost no trouble w/using the remote this way)
Split Decision – word on top, turn wii remote left or right to see 2 definitions that are off screen to swing them into view & click on the correct one (medium is the same, just harder words)
Word Cereal – after given a definition, alphabet cereal letters are thrown in & you have to spell the word in time. If you put the wrong letter in the blank space at the bowl edge, it won’t go in which makes it easier.
Word Shuffle – you are shown small squares on the top left/middle & a list of words on the right. using a magnifying glass, you read the definition & choose the correct word. Medium difficulty has more definitions & words in each round.
Block letters – almost a tetris game, letters fall down, and looking at the list of words on the left, you have to point & click to spell the words before the game area fills up with letters to the top. You even get a few bombs to get rid of letters if they get too high & you can drop letters faster if you are doing well.
Safe Cracker – all letters are on a dial & going against a computer, you are given a definition & to spell out the word. You are only given spaces & if you select the wrong letter, it will buzz to let you know.
Extras:
glossary, progress review, interactive word/visual tutorial of each game, top scores, settings, profile manager
Extra games that don’t count to main area:
Cube panic – survive block letter game for as long as possible. (I did 20 min. before I got bored), no difficulty settings nor does it count for credit.
Competition – single player Spelling Bee. A female voice with a THICK SPANISH? accent says a word & you write each letter of the word until you spell the word, no mistakes allowed. You can check for definition & it used in a sentence. I couldn’t understand her at all. Rutabaga sounded like Jacaba, Mongoose like Lumpous, Wreath like Leak, Wallaby like Qualliby, Galumphing(!) like Colomphy. Other words I encountered: Sarcophagus, Dissidence, Orchestrate, Castanets, and Sheikh. The rest of this game wasn’t so strange & poorly programmed at all.
Tournament Mode – same as competition but w/multiplayer
Multiplayer:
(you decide # of players, easy/med/hard, points, and time limit)
Cube Battle (block letters) – 2p only, you both play at the same time, only 2 player & diff. setting
Letter challenge – 1-4p, pointer is little person in circle, when start, have to stay in the center (no false start allowed), then point to the right letter that you choose from in each corner to fill in the missing letter in the word.
Word Challenge – 1-4p, same gameplay as letter challenge, but now point to correct definition of the 4 in each corner.
Word Crackers (safe cracker) – 2p only, same exact as main game.
Cereal Clash (word cereal) – 2p only, get a definition, but now get the same word 2x in the cereal which makes for many more letters. also can grab stars which when put in a space will put the correct letter in.
Pros:
great use of the wii remote, I had no trouble using it in any game, and it gave a nice added physical component to add to gameplay that might be more boring with just a mouse.
The “instructors” speak English
Tutorial is in-depth, interactive & easy to understand
great creativity in types of gameplay
difficulty choices
keeps up with your knowledge, will pop up a word in different types of games if you’ve made a mistake previously
shows you a list of all words after gameplay with their definition
Cons:
could have even more types of games
only has one definition for the word, and sometimes that one isn’t the definition that is used most w/that word
almost no verbal & no text pronunciation
does not use the word in a sentence (except competition/tournament mode which takes long gameplay to unlock)
the “instructors” are not implemented enough
long loading times for such simple graphics & interface
boring menu & graphics
the limitations on the non-verbal pronunciations & definitions would make using this for people who are not native English speakers very difficult and may confuse them more.

This is a great and fun multiplayer vocabulary building game (many mini-games). If only the game used Miis. The game has its own profile/avatar system, with simple symbols to represent players.
The game is still worth it. I just hope they remake it with Miis.
