    Enjoyable yet at times frustrating. I don't feel Ubisoft made the most of the Wii controller - the menu system is the least intuitive method I have ever had to endure (why all the twisting and tilting? Why in gods name didn't they just use the pointer?!) It's a shame they couldn't translate the simple and intuitive controls of the DS over onto the Wii version.

Some nice multiplayer modes are included and despite what GameZone say this is not strictly for kids - as the game manages to gauge itself quite nicely to all abilities.… Expand

    Unlike what the reviewers said, I am an adult who already speaks English and I find the game to be enjoyable. The words I encounter in the games are not likely to be found in my everyday reading.

    An average title with a purposeful concept and not-so-stellar performance. Children will enjoy the game, but only for a short time, and adults who know how to speak English already need not apply.

    It's genuinely entertaining in small chunks, but there is still a lot to be said for spending time with a good book instead, or by keeping a thesaurus or a copy of the Reader's Digest handy when you have the need to feel egregiously verbose.

    My Word Coach might turn on English majors, but that's about it. It's doubtful that many will find its premise to be entertaining – at least not for long, anyway.
