    Nintendo DS Driving Theory Training is bad in theory

    Filed under: News
    Not many things sound as riveting as driving theory; for example, watching paint dry is probably a lot less exciting. You probably don't need our snark to tell you, though, that Driving Theory Training is an awful idea.

    The entire purpose of this British nongame is to prepare people for their driver's license test. As an interactive study guide, it's probably not a bad thing -- but we'd prefer to study the old-fashioned way and save our money. We don't mind edutainment, but the thought of something as dull as driving theory on our DS seems rather unnecessary.

    Should you think differently, though, you better hope that you live in the UK. We're sure learning British driving lessons as a U.S. driver would be a bad idea, as you'd wind up driving on the wrong left side of the road. If you are British, though, you'll be able to train in driving theory as soon as this summer.

    its not that bad an idea! I downloaded one of those driving theroy & hazard perception CD's to practice for my theory and it worked a charm. The theory part is a pisstake really!

    They give you 4 signs such as "men at work", "round about", "stop" and "one way" then ask you which one is for a round about....

    The only remotely challanging part of the theory test is the hazard perception, so if that is not included in this then is just a waste of time!

    personally I think it's better to get the proper driving theory test cd, you practice on exactly the same system as the proper test, even the answers are in the same place on the screen as the test cd
