I thought the game was decent... Maybe not the best way to learn...
I mainly find it useful for reviewing things learned elsewhere, though.
I have a question for those against it though: A few people have mentioned that it has the wrong stroke order in the kana lessons. Why does stroke order matter? They look the same in the end no matter the order.... Just asking, because I tend to ignore stroke order and write everything in the most natural.comfortable way for me.
Stroke order is important for a variety of reasons.
The most obvious reason is understanding calligraphy. With the proper stroke order you can make sense of the brush strokes, which aren't clearly separated like they are in print or when written with a pen.
Similarly, getting the correct stroke order helps ensure that the character's shape is correct when writing them yourself.
It's also useful to have the stroke order correct when looking up characters, especially if you have one of those handwriting recognition programs.
