Benjamin is laaangsaaam

== Hello! ==
From an online friend I had for my son to get a Nintendo DS game that to satisfy her daughter had been through. Since my son at their age is, he got it in order to acquire some knowledge. In Amazon the game currently costs 24,99 Euro and new is also needed to acquire. I probably would have bought less because Benjamin is no longer the child star today, which he he was in the years 80.

== Benjamin the Elephant - Preschool Fun (Nintendo DS) ==
But Benjamin can enrich children and not just in his TV series, no on the video / console games, he can tell instructive. A steep price and I find such programs just for children should be a bit cheaper, at least I am the opinion. Either you want to support children or to enrich them, the latter more I find something violently and there should be considered. The game is set from 0 years, but I recommend it from 5/6 years.

== == Content
This is about 20 varied exercises to colors, numbers, shapes and letters, so that children here can expand somewhat in the brain and the playful. In the exercise every now and then come little English terms that are casually taught by Benjamin. He alone is the teacher and teaches the children something. Of course there is also a lot to puzzle, paint and play.

== == Graphics
If you switch to a Nintendo DS, comes in the upper screen of the '' 'teacher' '' Benjamin and talks first with the kids, quite a colorful picture. It is beautifully clear and strong, the colors radiate properly and are not misrepresented. The movements are quite natural, not computer animation and thus something unnatural or even haltingly. No beautiful flowing movements come here on the screen and are clearly visible for the children. A 3D version, there are not, fortunately, as this is damaging to children's eyes and with the high resolution 2D version, the little ones get the most marvelous manner. Nothing is displayed too small, everything has a good visible size for children's eyes. The screen is easy to cost in this game and the children look on here quite concentrated. Even I as a mother find the image class succeeded in anything that is beautiful clear and strong, here unclear or even blurred. Even the bottom screen is displayed cleanly, the tasks are clear and of course in magnificent colors, so that these can also be well differentiated. Color and in the resolution here is absolutely nothing to complain about, the creators, the representation have quite carefully considered and implemented class, so have to put the children this. The background with the different motives and trimmings are so represented that they must be recognized equally. So a Benjamin the elephant sees child, pretty quickly, that this, is to start in front of his zoo and although only a few details can be seen. The graphics are made for Children, and the eyes are not here to overwhelmed, a pictorial distraction there is not here, but the creators have taken care of. Benjamin is quite large screen, so that it fills him quite well and looks are directed automatically to him. In order for the children to come to the menu, back out or even need help, which is visible as symbols shown for the kids and get it naturally explains. The icons are unique, children quickly know what they can do with it. Also nice visible at the bottom of the lower display it was made easily accessible.

== == Tasks
The tasks are verbally told by Benjamin, well a bit lame but children understand this and implement. No matter what tasks are asked of children this can be mastered quite quickly. There are no particularly difficult tasks, it is also more to the training and not to train a child, so that it can skip the primary school. Errors happen here, what is normal and ok. These are then called by Benjamin and the object can / must / should be done again. Completed tasks that have to be solved, of course, rewarded with praise and you get by other objects to get fit and better understand further, the arithmetic, spelling and. No heavy duty tasks that can easily be solved with 5 years children and procure the right solution, a great praise from Benjamin.

== == Control
Control transfers here are performed with the touch pen not with the keys, but must, the children need to tap on the display so that the tasks and off you go. Of course, all tasks that are provided here must be made with the pen. What makes the children less problems and they get along well with the stylus pen-like ,. The screen reacts naturally prompt a slight contact with the pen and then controls the selected task which it is supposed to represent. The screen responds here immediately and there is nothing here that an execution is delayed or not even running. Everything is running what is typed with the pen and the. Without delay

== Spokesman Benjamin / sound / sound ==
The sound is perfectly fine, with the voice of Benjamin, of course, a clear tone and sound can be heard clearly, and for the children. You hear every word, and therefore it is not a problem, adjust the volume depending on how it wants a child. The adjusted volume remains even, at least from her play, no different sound adjustment that could bring a child missing a beat. Beautifully clear, gentle and soft, the voice of Benjamin, as they are known. The voice is heard, but not distorted identical to the voice from TV and other radio where one has seen or heard him. Could disrupt No noise in the background or otherwise what kids. Beautifully clear and strong, a great sound quality it has here, not too monotonous and different ups and downs can be seen. Everything is clean and clear to hear my little one has the clear pronunciation, no problems and will thus cope. Although Benjamin speaks a bit too slow, but it is supposed to be for children and thus the somewhat lame speech pace is appropriate. Myself it disturbs somewhat, but is also not for me and my little one has no problems.

== == Views of the child
I respect very top when and how long my son is so Blazed, it is not freely available but there are only agreements. I like to support learning, but do not always find on the screen instead. The game here is for my son conditionally interesting if he sits on it and plays or learns it's him quickly boring as him the speed of the language and tasks are a bit too lame. Certainly, one needs patience, but I personally think that it can go from equip a little bit quicker. My Little has quite quickly as, his curiosity satisfied it and puts it away quickly. He prefers to learn then on paper than on a cool Nintendo. The game is content completely okay, very brutal free and child friendly, I find it, children learn even in a few minutes something. At least stay of less than 20 minutes, hang something on my son. He is totally focused on it here and listen patiently to what is said and executes it without delay. The functions and the content is pretty easy for children to understand and to implement it no hitch, only at the speed where Benjamin speaks. The bored after about 10 minutes and then are gone no further five minutes and my son puts it voluntarily on the side. The fun here is definitely very little available and therefore an animation, it often times to learn something. Since the content can still be so great, the animation to completely absent. Is also different from child to child. But I must say, for the few times where my son is short turn, achieved one success and there is something hanging. The arithmetic is better optical seen definitely encouraged concentration and a few English words stick in the brain, which are always told by my son. Graphically there is absolutely nothing to complain about, everything pretty clean, clear, radiant and powerful. There is no ambiguity in the presentation, made everything nice and big and visible to children. Through distinct color differences, these can be detected and identified without doubt. Also, the tone and sound is clear, the German language well understood and is also spoken by Benjamin clean and clear.

== Conclusion ==
The endurance of this game does not exist, unfortunately it's too slow for my son, he does not like, although clear instructions and tasks are to be accomplished, but linguistic speed and flow is clearly too slow and could be a bit faster by equipping go. Otherwise, I think the tasks for preschoolers properly from 5 children can thus promote something unless they need this in order to improve some graphic skills, learn colors to follow instructions and other promotions that can be achieved here. Are quite happy not, content and graphics, it is otherwise well.
