 Great way to finish you day November 29, 2008
I love Brain Age 2. There are lot`s of challenges that you unblock as you do your training. The exercises are very various, ranging for piano playing to memorization games. One of the great assets are the sudoku grids of different levels that are available as a distraction. This is my favorite game on DS lite. For me it`s really a lot of fun.
Great for all ages! November 28, 2008
Pretty fun! Brain Age is something you can look forward to everyday. With it's uniquely designed way for holding the DS, to interactive games that gets your mind going! Just a tiny bit annoying when you write something like an, M, and it comes out to be like an, N, or a, 3. Have really good handwriting and a really good brain in the math section. Also, this game was developed by a real math professor who studies brain functioning. I think of this as more of a learning than something fun like, Big Brain Academy. Buy this to learn, don't buy if you think this is more of games!
Great review November 20, 2008
I must say the game is very engaging. I started using it about a month ago; as you play, the more stamps you acquire on the calendar page the more training modes you unlock. It's very entertaining and some of the tips were new to me. Try it out!

This is one of the best brain games. It gets harder and harder the longer you play and the younger your brain age gets. I especially love the piano play along.br /br /I hate to say I started out as an 80 yr old YIKES. Now after a week I test at 47yr old. And the tests are harder than at the start so you really can see you make progress. There is a little racing man that you have to track with your eyes and tell what place he comes in and others pass him and he passes them. I do terrible at that but it is a good eye training test.br /br /At 52 I realized I needed to do more to keep my mind active and doing these games is a great way to do that and have fun at the same time.br /br /I highly recommend the Nintendo DS and all the brain games.
 Harder than original Brain Age, a work out for your brain! October 30, 2008

Brain Age 2 has many interesting and challenging games, although some can be hard, especially for very young kids. br /br /Brain Age starts out by calculating your brain age through a series of tests, one of which is Rock, Paper, Scissors but it adds a twist. It asks you to win or lose which can make it quite challenging if you're not concentrating. There are other tests to test your brain age as well which are non-verbal like pick the biggest number on a screen full of numbers, repeatedly subtracting a smaller number from a bigger number, memorizing number placement in an equation to write in the total. After the testing your brain age is calculated - closer to 20 is better. br /br /You can then try the daily activities to improve your brain age. Some are easy and others quite hard. Here is a list of some:br /-Word Scramble where you have to unscramble letters to make a word, medium difficultybr /- Change maker, giving back change from a total, easy br /- Memory Sprint, keeping track of how many runners passed a runner, medium difficultybr /- Piano Player, playing notes on a simulated keyboard with the stylus, easybr /- Sign finder, you get a simple equation and have to determine what sign goes in between, easy but you need to be quickbr /- Word Blend, 2-4 words are spoken together by different voices and you have to write them down, hard - this game is ok till there are only 2 voices speaking but with 4 voices it's almost impossible to figure out what they're sayingbr /- Calendar count - You're asked questions like "What will be the day 3 days before 5 days from now?" br /br /There are some other games that get unlocked as you keep playing. However, I don't play daily and each time I pick it up after a gap I seem to be stuck at the same level I was the last time so I have not been able to unlock any more games.br /br /I've also played Big Brain Academy and it is a little less challenging, a little more diverse and colorful and therefore more fun than this game. I like Brain Age 2 but sometimes because of the "strict" instructor who chides you when you've been remiss, black and white colors and games that require good concentration it seems more like work than just plain fun. So I don't play it very often.br /br /Overall it really tests your brain with interesting activities and I rank it highly as one of the best brain games available on the DS.
