My Fun Facts Coach for Nintendo DS Review
My Fun Facts Coach is part of the Coach series of games that mostly include language teaching games. This game is kind of fun, but it is really limited to just being interesting for about 15 minutes a day, as it does not have the unlimited lesson track like the language ones and rather just has daily training. After you do the daily training for the day playing is kind of pointless.
I do not entirely not recommend the game, as honestly it is a rental I did not want to mail back and would like to buy. I like the trivia aspect and it has some good categories of questions, such as Body, Mind and Soul, and Your World. I, however, think the Social Life category is ridiculous and not just because I got most questions wrong. It just a really odd category with some ridiculous generalizations.
Overall it is an okay game in the series and a little more interesting than learning a language, which can sometimes be tedious, but those give more entertainment time per sitting than this. It seems like it would be fun to play through the daily training daily, but at the same time I imagine you would exhaust the topics after a while, as the depth in the encyclopedia aspect does not seem to promote a big depth of topics to quiz you on.
