About The Language Game

The Language Game is a 2 player quiz-style game that will improve your vocabulary and pronunciation as you play. The tile-based game is challenging in its own right, but you can only capture tiles if you get the language puzzles right!

Key Features

  • Five interchangeable languages (English, French, Italian, German and Spanish)
  • Over 900 phrases (2000+ words) across 59 categories, all recorded by native speakers
  • Blockbusters-style local 2 player game
  • Varied language-based mini games
  • Study mode that lets you learn specific categories
  • Progress tracker that reinforces tricky phrases
  • Multiple profiles that track progress across all languages

Finding the motivation to learn a new language can be difficult. The Language Game aims to provide that motivation through the medium of competition - everyone likes winning games, and the best way to win this one is to learn the lingo!

Gameplay



Players take it in turns to choose a tile on the board. This gives them a language-based question which if they solve wins them the tile. The objective is to link your sides of the board together, like in Blockbusters.

The twist is that you can 'sandwich' your opponent's tiles to flip them over to your side, so the shortest path to victory may not always be the best!

Learn smart, not hard



New phrases are introduced gradually so as not to overwhelm. They are spoken by native linguists in both your own language and the one you're learning to let your mind digest the new information. You can also replay any of the phrases during the learning phase, so you will never feel rushed.

The game notices phrases you have trouble with and will re-introduce them to reinforce your knowledge. If you find a really tricky category you can replay it on your own in the 'Study Mode' that randomly generates questions from the troublesome subject.

Please note that the game currently only supports local multiplayer, there is no online play.

The Language Game is a very badly made "educational" language word quiz game that looks more like a browser app/webpage or a mobile app than a serious PC game. You choose your language then the language you want to learn, and then you're prompted with a series of quiz questions that may or may not guide you to learn some words and phrases from the target language. Starting off, this is very bad even at achieving what it sets out to do. There's only a tiny vocabulary in the quiz game so you'll get questions repeating even in the first quiz you do. It's almost a joke. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. The game features mostly static, barely animated 2D images, the kind of thing you expect to see in browser/flash games. While the artwork itself, while mediocre, might be considered passable, the visual presentation here is negligible…

Waste of time, space, money and effort. Avoid even if offered for free.

Anything I hate is when you have a game that has no options and you can't turn the repetitive music off. But you have to have the sound on to hear the pronunciation. Got it in a bundle or I'd be refunding this garbage.

The music gets a little annoying. Overall though it does make for an additional language training medium. Every bit of practice helps afterall.

Y'know I really wanted it to be good ...but it is simply not enough. Not enough at all.
