 Works your brain - but it's fun! December 28, 2008
My husband and I are obsessed with this game. We compete with each other in all the different training programs. It's hilarious. It started out sort of hard and frustrating, but now we find it challenging and fun. br /br /We have a new rule in the house - no talking to Mommy or Daddy when they are playing Brain Age. It's serious business!!
 Nice game December 28, 2008
I purchased this game a couple of days ago after buying the original. I'm enjoying working with it and really enjoy the piano training since I have a degree in music. I don't like the rock/paper/scissors game. It frequently doesn't score the correct answer or the game creator has named the image incorrectly. I have no problems with the speech recognition of the first game and am very pleased with the handwriting recognition. When you are playing rock/paper/scissors, it appears to expect a particular wrong answer, not just any wrong answer. It is the only reason I am not giving this game 5 stars...
interesting... December 17, 2008
I just got this game with my sons ds. I like it. i think the concept is interesting. Really makes you think about things. It's interactive and fun. I like the game!
 A strong start, but pretty irritating over time December 10, 2008

What I Liked:br /br /- The games did seem to improve my daily concentration and memorization skills. Since I'm 27, I can't honestly say that my mind was in really bad shape to begin with. But after using this daily for a month and a half, I do feel like it's sharpened my skills.br /br /- The daily badges were a fun reward, and I actually looked forward to them.br /br /- I seem to be better with calculating math in my head. There is also a game that gives you 2 minutes to memorize the order of 25 numbers. That starts out feeling like an impossible task, but over time I've learned tricks to train my brain to group them in memorable ways. That's probably my favorite one.br /br /What I Disliked:br /br /- I don't know if this is a flaw with Nintendo or the game itself, but sometimes it does not recognize my writing. This really frustrates me because my score is lowered even though I answered correctly.br /br /- When an answer is wrong (see above), I am punished with a loud buzz. This sends a shocking jolt to my brain and causes me to miss the next few answers because it bothers me so much. It just seems unnecessary. Now I can only play the games when they are muted.br /br /- Speaking of sound effects, when you perform poorly, you are punished with a type of jeering music that really grates my nerves. It's like a cartoon sound effect. Let's be adults here. The Doc adds insult to injury by saying "Your brain is very tired"br /br /- I've played this game every night at about 1AM, and you'd think by now the system would have a way to figure out that I work at night. But no... instead, the Doc tells me how bad I am for "staying up too late" every single night. I guess that's supposed to be cute, but it's not. Some people work night shifts. This feature needs to be eliminated, or else made smarter to figure out that I log-on at the same time each night.br /br /- I also have to tap through screen after screen of the Doc's failed attempts at humor just to get to my daily sessions. There should be a setting to automatically skip any commentary.br /br /Summary:br /br /Over time, the negative comments, condescending music, and jolting sound effects have made me really hate this game. It started out as something fun and educational. I can honestly say it worked well at first. Unfortunately I just can't see myself using this daily for more than a few months because of all the small annoyances about it.
Excellent!!! December 2, 2008
Excellent game if you like puzzles. Makes you actually feel like you are working your brain. You cannot get to a game though without reading all that the guy has to say which is sometimes irritating.
