I got Kanji Kentei 2. And... a puzzle game with the US title "Planet Puzzle League (DS)". Can't wait to get it open! The Kanji sonomama rakubiki jiten would be nice if you needed a way to look up words in kanji and didn't have a dictionary. Real dictionaries can look up words that are not in Kanji, and also have more example sentences than the DS software. Kanji kentei would not be useful if you weren't already pretty decent at Japanese... But if you ARE, it's a great way to keep "leveling up". I just bought a DS today! I got Kanji Kentei 2.

Have you by any chance seen any that start off in english? Harvey,
