Cisco Mind Share Game – The Cisco Learning Network
I downloaded the demo version of this game for three purposes:
1. To see if this would be helpful in studying for the CCNA exam.
2. To evaluate it for the Game Design class.
3. To see if I might want to buy it for $49.95.
As I first opened the game (it is a very large download and install), I thought it was geared for the “younger generations.” It is a learning game — quiz game if you will. Those have a tendency to be, well, boring! As I started through the game, I thought it was a good study tool, but not sure of it’s “stickiness.” Would someone play this to learn/review instead of the more “traditional” means. Then the bugs came out…they started to eat my bonus points if I hadn’t answered that portion of the question yet. I found the game play to be very interesting, and definitely player-centric. I later was working strategy of finding questions that I wanted to answer right away — then stacking up my points on those questions.
I still am not sure how anything is scored, or what the scores mean; but it is definitely worth a try. If you’re not into networking, just look at it for the design and learning aspects of it.
