Re: Review: Sokomania (DSiWare)

I downloaded it before the review was out, and I agree with all the points of the review. I expected more of a Sokoban-style game. The game that came with my old mobile device (from 7 years ago, when most mobile games weren't java-based) had more levels than this.

I didn't like the fact that, when boxes were in the correct tyle, couldn't be moved again (unlike the original sokoban). Hell, even this game's developer copied some of the puzzles from the authentic sokoban.

What happened to Japan releases?? They only received 4 wii-ware, 4 Virtual console and 3 DSi ware games this weekend!! And all of the games are pretty bad ones (castlevania rebirth, for example). Japanese Wii and DSi owners will start to complain if you, nintendo, continue like this. (ironic-mode on).

@BleachFan888: That's the Rakubiki Jiten! (see the small hiragana above the kanji). A friend imported this dictionary and it's great! The ability to write kanji is awesome (at least, the kanji I wrote). The bad thing is that it hasn't spanish .

About this dictionary... Well, I thought there were 15.000 words for each language, because of that I gave the 7/10 mark. But, if it has only 2.500, I think it deserves well that 5/10. I expect someone can improve this dictionary, as it would be a very useful app.

@Prochnow: I was unaware of that dictionary. But searching the internet I saw some reviews and I'm pretty interested. Now I'm seriously thinking in purchasing it. Thanks for the info!

@bleachfan888: Is it the Rakubiki Jiten? If it's another, can you tell me how is it?

By the way, "Gomen Nasai" gives the same "I'm sorry" result. I must say that I read the help file completely, and it says that this dictionary is based in the japanese language as the main one. Maybe this is the reason why common words as "sorry" only appear as expression.

@Hardy 83:
Are you sure that there are only 2.500 words per language? In the "help section" it says, literally, that "this program contains 15.000 of the most common words and expressions to help you in many situations".
I understood that those 15.000 words were translated in all 6 languages, makin 15.000 per language.

I agree with the review in all the points, but I think there are some good things that could be considered too.

  • Don't forget that most basic paper dictionaries cost way more than this app (per example, here in spain the most basic japanese dictionary only 5.000 words cost 25 euros). About word processors, I think they are not as cheap as this too.
  • The point of having it on DSi's memory (= less space left in your bag) is a point to consider too.
  • There aren't any other dictionaries in the DS if I remember correctly (with the exception of a Japanese/english dictionary cartridge that was only released in Japan).
    Because of that reasons, I'd give it a 7/10 instead. And for 500 points, it was an instant download for me.

Re: Dictionary 6 in 1 Gets a Price Drop

It's a 15.000 word dictionary (according to the "Help" section), so don't expect a great word coverage. Still, as I am learning japanese, I find this dictionary VERY useful, as you can write japanese and chinese characters and find the words you search very quickly. It's well worth 500 points, I would even buy it for 800.
