Review:

This game is really good, brings the typical board-game to a next (interactive) level, and is really fun to play. It can be both good for the casual english player and as an entertainment for people studying the language which will give them a vocabulary boost.
-
It has got three gamemodes that differ in very little, and keep the game the same. The interface is simple and intuitive, and help as a "How to play" info are provided. It has a local and online highscore ranking system, so you can challenge your friends. More features would make this game more diverse and therefore even better, though.
-
The main con is indeed the price. Knowing today's average videogame price, it is way too expensive for what it is. It's more like a free online game than a commercial one, and there are other word games in the web (though not that good) that can provide the same fun.

Conclusion:

Good entertainment and also good for educational purposes as vocabulary-widening for non english speaking people, but pretty much overpriced. Really worth it for casual gamers, anyway.
