Customer Reviews

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 as E, G, but most of them are really easy.

Your 'Expression Potential' is measured with an initial quiz, and you can improve on this EP by playing games and scoring points towards moving it up, and you are given a rank such as psychologist, lawyer and so on.
A lot of fun if you like to spend time playing word games, and learning some new words - I thought they all might be a bit simplistic but they are not.

So glad I got this!
