Good for Kanji Practice if You Own a Ds and There's No Alternative

By Jacks on November 13, 2007

I would have to almost agree entirely with the person's review above mine. I am at an intermediate level of Japanese and I ordered this game around a month or two ago since I didn't see any other kanji games available for the DS.

When I first tried the game out I had some trouble figuring out what was going on but eventually it was clear that I was presented with katakana(yep not hiragana)that I was supposed to draw the kanji for within sentences. I found that there were plenty of parts requiring knowledge of kanji that I didn't already know even at the lowest levels. Even though I eventually taught myself the kanji I needed for the lower levels and enjoyed doing so, I would've appreciated it if the game had a kanji teaching part to it.

Overall the game is somehow addicting and great for kanji practice, but it is pretty repetitive. I would only recommend this game for those who already have a decent background in Japanese since it doesn't actually teach the kanji; it only provides an entertaining way to review kanji.

I wanted more, But I'll make do with what I Got

By Victor A. Laury on February 15, 2009

The game is good and it's a good learning tool, However, I wish it had stricter rules on stroke order and stroke direction. Really, It will recognize kangi drawn incorectly, as no real teacher would allow.

The dispairity between the levels is too high, but that is not the fault of the game maker, as The actual KanKen Test is the source.

So far I've only managed to Gold in level 10. This will power up however memory of the kanji, don't rely on it to teach the correct manner of writing.

If you are a student, You really need this. How else could you possibly drill the kanken anywhere, anytime, anyplace? I take it with me for Lunch and test away while waiting for my food.

Worth it!

By Francine on October 17, 2012

Verified Purchase

I took two years of Japanese and couldn't fit any more courses into my schedule, so I looked for ways to continue learning kanji. I originally got my DS because it was cheaper to get that and a dictionary cartrage than the electronic Japanese dictionaries... I got this game on a whim.
Well, I've ended up playing this more than any other game. It's addictive.
Some things to know about it: It is ALL in Japanese. No English at all, anywhere. And there is only limited furigana. So you're going to have to use common sense and guesswork to navigate the menus at first.
That said, it's pretty intuitive. The kanji tests go from very easy (elementary school) to harder than I am able to judge. They test the kanji several different ways- they put the kanji in a sentence, and you have to give either the character or the reading. They also test on stroke number and order. The input system is pretty good. It will recognize most characters even if you use the wrong stroke order, but it does the best when you write them the correct way.
For those who can read kana and have a basic vocabulary, this is the best kanji-learning-system for your money, hands down.

Excellent Quiz Tool

By Big Hache on March 21, 2010

**Please note - I own the 250 man nin no Kanken (not on Amazon US), same thing, different version with more kanji**

I ordered this product straight from Japan and I have owned it for several months. It's a valuable tool for my studies and provides and excellent way to test one's kanji knowledge on the go. As it has been noted, this cartridge does not contain a teaching/learning component. It is for testing what you already know, but that doesn't make it a bad purchase.

This cartridge does make one want to do better when they quiz themselves, so yes it is a bit addictive. Some text is presented in katakana, some text is presented in hiragana. I believe this is to get the user used to reading both.

The writing recognition is really impressive. Stroke order plays an important part in the writing recognition. An interesting example of this is actually with the Stroke Order and Stroke Number sections. The number "5" HAS to be written with two strokes - the top, horizontal stroke from left-to-right first. If you write "5" as one stroke starting from right-to-left it will NOT recognize as "5".

If you already study kanji this would make a great extension to your tool set.

This is not the only kanji study cartridge for the DS, but if you want something else you may have to order directly from Japan. If you're looking for a teaching tool I would take a look at Kanji Practice for Adult.
