"And we thought that a game about Having Babies was bad."
Review at link. Scoring system ahs been changed for this one game from % to a Grade.
Who ever thought one could prepare for a huge standardized test on their Nintendo DS? My SAT Coach provides such an opportunity. It isn't perfect, but it's a quick and easy way to get students into preparing for the SAT without much effort on their part. It's not going to replace Kaplan courses or anything, but it's not supposed to. My SAT Coach is a fun alternative to dry review books, injecting interactivity to the many lonely hours of studying for the SAT.
VGB writes: "My SAT Coach: With the Princeton Review is the newest game in the "My Coach" series from Ubisoft for the Nintendo DS handheld system.
The "Coach" series of games are aimed at "developing projects that make people feel that playing games is worth their while, allowing them to spend quality time with family and friends, learn a new skill, or improve their daily lives." Naturally, these games fall in the now popular and expected "Brain Training" genre (otherwise known as Educational games) and play similarly to Brain Age or Brain Age 2. And just like those games, these games are meant to teach or help you learn, and in that way are as much a tool as they are a game. Although the Coach series, like Brain Age, does it in a fun way."
Look, if you need a study guide for the SAT (which is recommended by the College Board), then My SAT Coach seems like a fairly standard one, just in DS form. At $30, it costs about as much as getting a practice book, though many schools offer free or discounted books for students, so in reality it's more expensive. If your school offers an SAT prep course, IGN would definitely recommend that over this title, but if you didn't plan on studying at all, then My SAT Coach is probably better than nothing.
