I went through the introductory test pretty well... got stuck on some of the colors, so it kicked me back out at level 4 or 5 or something.

My big complaint is that it barely explains what is going on once the "lessons" start. The program started throwing some color words at me, and didn't really bother to explain the "Record" feature or anything else... I just sort of randomly pushed buttons and "next" until I had to whack gophers for some reason.

Seems like an OK basic learning tool, but it is definitely NOT organized in any kind of smoothly structured lesson plan.

Woooo,this has taken a while to come out.

ubisoft concentrated on the my chinese coach game to get it out for the summer olympics, but failed.

due to the heavy work on the my chinese coach game, the japanese coach game got delayed.

Complaints:
Not being able to skip more than 12 chapters, or having any idea about how much gets covered in the game.
Also, the game is ridiculously strict about kana drawing. I know that's the correct stroke order, and it's good for me to break my bad habits, but seriously. It's kana, it's not like kanji, which would look totally wrong if done in the wrong order.

That said, any one know when kanji makes an appearance in the lessons? Or how advanced the grammar gets?

It's a decent game, but all the romaji and lack of kanji keep screwing me up.

Actually I find it kind of annoying that that the stroke order recognition isn't stricter...

My friend is on lesson 30 and apparently it stops using romaji then which is good. I'm just on lesson 23 and its explained basic plain/formal/te/conjunctive conjugations in a funky way so I'm glad I did that in class 2 weeks ago. At least it somewhat tests you on grammar when you unlock the bridgebulder game (just make sure to try and translate the sentences yourself before looking at the pieces). Particle wise, its only gone through wa/wo/ka.

The best thing about this is learning vocabulary because I have none. That's what I get for taking lvl 3 JP instead of 1 or 2 two, but I wasn't about to be stuck with crappy "Japanese for Busy people". Genki is way more useful.

I think Chinese is probably a much more useful language to learn.

Unless you are someone who thinks being able to play more jRPGs is useful.

But I wouldn't really ever want to go to China in my life. The Olympics drama made that feeling even stronger.

Well, I must say, the placement tests on these things sure aren't all that clever, are they? Placed me at level 11, then proceeded to give me a lecture on the copula desu. Didn't use the word copula, though. This has a very lax approach to grammar, which is probably good for the target audience. Anyway, I found it amusing that the test placed me at a lecture on something we covered first week in uni. And that was several years of Japanese lessons ago.
I totally agree. I've taken three years of high school japanese; I'm pretty sure I know how to use desu. I wish there was a better test thing that could test your sentence skills and all that other fun stuff.

I do think this game will be good for vocabulary though. There were a few words back from the beginning of Japanese classes that I had forgotten xD

Stroke. Order. My. Butt.

Seriously, I know my stroke order, but when you're actually restricted by number of strokes and your DS touchscreen needs stabbing actions to register, it becomes a tad....annoying.

I got all 50 questions right, level 12...? Wut? Relearn 'desu'? >_______>

    There are very few people I just have just an immense dislike of and he's one of those very few people, the only other example is Gene Simmons. My musician uncle on my mother's side of the family actually met Gene once during some event and said he was the most unpleasant person to be around.
