I picked this game up because I'm going on a trip to France and Italy this spring with a French class, even though I take Spanish. Of course immersion is the best way to learn a language and a game isn't anything like learning from a person, but the game has great potential for teaching vocabulary and useful phrases for getting around.
It has 10,000 words, 700 phrases, and acts as a translator. It has a number of lessons and you can record your voice to test your own pronunciation. It's not a bad way to learn, because it's interactive so a lot of the material sticks in your mind. I recommend it for anyone who doesn't have the opportunity to learn from a fluent speaker.
