3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, November 26, 2007

This review is from: Illuminated W.O.R.D. - The Ultimate Word Game Collection (Toy)

I really like this game. All four games are fun and challenging. However, I only give it three stars because quite often when I touch the stylus to the screen, the letter won't get selected. I have lost games because it takes too long for a letter to get selected. It's like the screen can't sense the stylus, for some reason. Other than that, when it works right, it is a good hand-held game to have.

This review is from: Illuminated W.O.R.D. - The Ultimate Word Game Collection (Toy)

I purchased this when Amazon offered it for under five bucks. I had to make myself put it down after playing several of the work find games. Maybe I'm still a kid at heart but I'm over 40 and I love it. The screen is very easy to read & I've had no problems with the touchpad. Fun for all ages if you like Word Games.

I love playing word games online and its even better to be able to play them on the go!
I highly recommend WORD to anyone who loves word games and to any parent who wants to get their child spelling and playing.
I didn't have any issues with the touch screen and the backlight was key for playing in the car at night.
