Kanji sonomama isn't a game, it's a DS version of an electronic kanji dictionary , but slightly less comprehensive than others on the market. It IS very useful ( it gives example sentences etc), but it can only -teach- you kanji in the same way any other dictionary can theoretically teach you kanji, ie, look them up yourself and then memorize them. It certainly doesn't make it fun! It's also aimed at Japanese people, not foreign language-learners, so be prepared to really miss out on understanding explanations and controls if you can't read japanese easily yet.
It does have a couple of mini-games, but they're for those oh-so-commonly-used kanji for say... foreign countries, and fish. Well, the fish one was useful for going to a sushiya, but that was about it...
