 This is great for people who believe they are thick... June 14, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
...ok, so the age is 3+, but for someone like me who got an F in Maths, this game makes you feel like a genius. At the moment I've gone from having the brain of an 80 year old to a 53 year old in just 2 training sessions and I'm actually 32. I've finally learned what a syllable is and I've cracked how to do Sudoku at last. The sums are easy enough, not to taxing for me cos I have trouble remembering my times table. Overall, this is a great game, fun for all the family and I bet your kid's will be better at it than you !!!
Great family fun for all ages June 12, 2006

We got the game without great expectations and were very pleasantly surprised. It's quite addictive although Dr Kawashima's "jokes" are a bit irritating. We thought that our 11 year old would play most of the games whilst Mum and Dad stuck to SUDOKU (which is incredibly well put together, easy to use and even gives you the tiny numbers in the corners option, so you can save your alternatives.)
But the games are fun, not too long, and because he records your brain age just once a day stops anyone from hogging the DS. [That said I want a DS lite of my own please Daddy!]
There are memory, quick thinking,and quirky little brain excercises and I will be keeping my training going. Any one who has a child enrolled in Kumon would appreciate this.[It's not so tedious.]
Finally it makes use of the dual screen, microphone, character recognition features of the DS, and encourages gentle family competition.
 Brain Bustin Fun June 12, 2006

On the face of it this game sounds as dull as you can get but after half an hour of playing time you cant help but enjoy it and have a laugh.
The game is split into three types of puzzles, speaking, drawing, math.
The speaking parts include reading out loud and saying the colour not the word game.
Drawing levels include drawing animals / pictures and plotting ways around a course.
The math levels are compleating sums ( + - x / )
Mixed in with diffrent levels of brain training this game is really aimed at all ages but I can see that for the most part the game would help kids and teenagers with there own maths class at school.
The main down part is that the game can not understand an accent very well so if you have a thick english accent the game does not recognise what you are saying.
Another issue is that the game seems to have a problem recognising the diffrence between 7, 9, 1, as well as g, q, t, when you write it down on the touch screen it appears as something else, this is very bad considering you are on a time limit and spend more time correcting what you have written instead of compleating the level.
All in all an excellent game let down by a few minor issues.
A brilliant way to keep sharp June 12, 2006

This isn't so much a 'game' as a mental workout, but it's fun, too.
The basic idea is simple enough, keep your brain young by doing simple calculations, memory tests and challenges. it's surprisingly fun to watch how your brain gets better at the challenges (there are charts you can monitor your progress on) and see your overall brain age (my best being 32).
this game also has over 100 Su Doku puzzles to do, that you can choose wether you want to be told if you've scribbled in the right answer or not.
another thing about this game is it's surprising technology, it can recognise letters and numbers you draw on the touch screen, and has surprisingly good voice recognition.
overall, well worth your money, as it's cheaper than a regular DS game and has lasting value, as you'll want to get your brain age to 20 (the best you can get) and keep it that way.
it's like school but not in a way i know of June 11, 2006

The game starts off much like any other first person shooter but here there are no guns or explosions or though i did feel like i was playing a bit of half life 2 at times. The sounds is amazing and so is the in game graphics engine. Very informative game and very clever, gaming isn't just about reflexes all the time!!!
