Product Description
Words, words, words! They're the fundamentals of language. They comprise how we communicate and how effectively we can express opinions and succeed at fulfilling our dreams. One of the earliest brain teasers was the Spelling Bee. Recently, we've been experiencing an upsurge in popularity and fascination with word games.
On Broadway, people are flocking to the musical 25th Putnam County Spelling Bee. In the movies, the recent Akeelah and the Bee, and Spellbound became surprise hits with millions of fans. The primal challenge to see how many words you can spell correctly to win the game. It's the game that took over as brains rose in significance over brawn. Unlike Akeelah, who had to carry thousands of cards to practice for her Spelling Bee challenges, all you need is the Nintendo DS and Crave's Spelling Challenges and More. It's for Spellin Bee aspirants and for future literati (did I spell that correctly?).
Spelling Challenges and More! is themed around a spelling game show " where you compete for points and prizes but also is much more! Of course, there's only one winner. Will it be you? Designed for ages 6 and over ESRB is E for Everyone - Fun and educational word challenges for Everyone How many spelling errors can you find in this dscription?

 Great Game October 20, 2008

My family can't get enough of this. I bought this for my little boy, but the adults have taken over. Great stuff
 Not as much of a challenge as I had wanted. October 14, 2008

This game is not very exciting or challenging. It started me at level 38 because of my age. It's more of a memory game as they flash the word on the screen then say spell it. The guy talks if he had said the word and shown the definition it would have been better. I'm not really a great speller and wanted to really be helped to get better.
The game is just so-so. The sound is like it is playing thru a tin can. The typewriter is not set like a typewriter it is in alphabetical order which slows you down until you get used to it.
For young kids is would be okay but not so great for adults.
Great for kids... September 25, 2008

I bought this for my second grader and she loves it. I don't think that adults would like it, but for a kid, it is fabulous. Some of its features include flashing words that the kids then have to spell back, and using short definitions to figure out what to spell. My daughter thinks it is so cool that she earns money for the high scores. It is also helping her on her math place values because she is always running to me to tell me the dollar amount that she won. The game also has a list at the end of each mini-game of the words that the child gets wrong. That is helpful. Each level so far seems to have maybe 30 words and they seem easy to me because they are everyday words, but to her, it ends up being challenging. My favorite mini-game she plays is where she either has to pick out the properly spelled word out of commonly misspelled ones and vice versa. In reference to other reviews I have read in cyber-space, this is probably not a game for adults that can spell ok and the hokeyness would definitely get old. That being said, it is the perfect platform for kids. I only wish I could input her spelling lists from school to play with.
It's just alright for adults but better for kids September 7, 2008

It's kinda boring for older adults but for kids/teens it's much more fun. It's my least favorite of all the DS games I own.

I bought this game for my 7 year old son only to find out its fun for every one. It has 100 levels of spelling challenges. There are also challenges on what is a noun, adjective, verb etc. Its a great game.
