 jump on the Brain Train bandwaggon July 31, 2007
60 out of 61 found this review helpful
It all started with Prof. Kawashima's Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain?, which has spawned several off-shoots and clones.
Some are terrible (Mind Quiz in particular) but others aren't too bad; MindStorm is one of the latest, which does a fairly good job of turning exercising your brain into an enjoyable game. A limited selection of puzzles are available at different difficulty levels, which together claim to improve five areas of your brain: reason, endurance, analysis, intuition and observation.
The ten puzzle types on offer, which consist of classics like sliding block picture challenges and spot-the-difference, are adequately presented and jump wildly from being patronisingly simple to mind-bogglingly hard. The graphics are simple, yet functional.
Some of the puzzles can quickly become repetitive and uninspiring, and extended play of MindStorm may only appeal to hardcore puzzle fans. However, played in small doses there is no doubting that it is enjoyable, and some of the puzzles are quite original and make a welcome relief from the "remember the pattern and then repeat in the right order" kind that are fast becoming the norm.
