Review

 

If you're bored of playing games that don't stretch your brain cells and you'd like to give your grey matter an extensive workout, pick up this program. The tests have been devised in cooperation with Dr. Kawashima himself, a renowned neuroscientist. With Brain Training you can train both your mental awareness and your memory. Hold the DS vertically, like a book, and write your answers with the stylus on the touch screen. The exercises are quick challenges that help stimulate your brain. There's a combination of arithmetic, reading and memory tests, and the program calculates your score in the form of a 'brain age' by assessing the speed and accuracy by which you perform these simple tasks.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Makes training your brain fun

This is a good game offering a variety of mini-games that encourage your brain to work to its full capacity. The game tracks dates and allows you to see progress in your brain age. It also asks questions about what you did that day and asks it back in a fortnight or so which I find a nice addition. Another pro is that it asks if you are able to speak or not, which is useful as to make the game playable on the go too. A good game which I just keep going back to.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Very good game but can get a bit repetative.

I have played this game for quite a while now and I must admit its quite good. It is able to help you excersise your brain so you can have a good brain age. The tips and advice given during the game is quite good and can really help you to train your brain to th best it can be. The only reason it didnt get a 5***** is because after a while the game can start to get a bit repetative after doing all the same puzzles every day. However altogether this is a good game and one that everyone should try.

Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars Super Brain!

It does the trick.. you'll excercise your brain, your age will improve each week. After a while it is kind of annoying, doing the same puzzles and questions, but it's still quite amusing! You can always switch to the sudoku-mode :)
