Graphics: Characters are interestingly designed and the look of the game is adorable. The animation is smooth and well rendered. Granted, there isn’t much animation, so the game isn’t pushing the bounds of the system, but overall, it’s easy on the eyes.

Interface: The interface is well designed and fairly intuitive, but stylus interaction is sometimes slow or simply inaccurate. However, for the most part, the game doesn’t need a very complex interface, and it was adequate for what was required of it.

Gameplay: To call Imagine Teacher repetitive would be an understatement. Playing the same little “tap and rub images on the screen while watching for disruption” game before every session got old really fast. Cleaning the classroom requires no skill whatsoever, and most of the mini-games are tamer and easier versions of games we’ve seen before. Character interaction, the little of it there is, lacks significance. That said, this game might prove quite novel to those who are actually a member of a second-grade class. Anyone older than that should probably look elsewhere for intellectual stimulation.

Sound FX: The few sound effects included in the game are cute and add to the gameplay.

Music: There isn’t much variety to the music for Imagine Teacher, but the game’s simplicity doesn’t demand much. The music is both adorable and appropriately adds to the overall experience of the game.

Difficulty: There is only one difficulty setting, and to call it “Easy” would be an understatement. The challenges include addition; pinning the American, Canadian and Mexican flags to a map; and writing letters. If you are adept at any of these activities, you’ll find this game is probably far too easy for you.

Overall: Imagine Teacher is fine for young children, as long as they’re very young children. However, the novelty of the concept and its implementation are probably wasted on anybody young enough to find the game challenging. The design of the game is aesthetically pleasing, and if you’re simply looking for a way to keep your brain occupied (but not too occupied) while riding the bus, Imagine Teacher might be worth a look.
