 Making Brain Training more fun July 5, 2008
Other reviews can tell you about all the features in this game, so I'll try to keep it short.
The training programs are more varied and enjoyable than the previous game's. Some of the challenges include unscrambling words, remembering numbers and even playing a musical piece. However, I did find a couple of the games tedious. There are also again plenty of free or assisted Sudoku puzzles and a hidden mini-game which is quite addictive.
One of the big irritations from the previous game remains - poor handwriting recognition. As well as numbers, you will have to write symbols and letters, which the game may often fail to understand! Voice recognition is also a bit unreliable on the Rock, Paper, Scissors game.
All the training programs can be unlocked in only about 2 weeks of daily playing, so you may not have much motivation to keep training afterwards. I suppose though players might also give up if they were not rewarded so regularly! You may also get irritated by Dr Kawashima with his reptitive comments after every session, Some are even the same as in the first game.
If you enjoyed the first Brain Training game, you should like this one too! If you don't have either, I would recommend buying both games. Whilst I think overall the second is better, I prefer the warm-up games and Brain Age tests in the previous.
 Frustrating fun April 6, 2008

This was the first game I bought for my DS, after seeing the ads and half-believing the hype. It explained how to use the game clearly, without talking down to you and making you feel like a small child. I must point out that it is only suitable for 20+ year old, despite the classification on the front. This is because it helps to train faculties that only start to decline at 20. It was engaging, had a good variety of tasks, and was different enough each day that I wanted to use it each day. If you're thinking that it sounds too good to be true, I do have one criticism. If you said other things during rock, paper, scissors or weren't careful when drawing with the stylus, you got a lot of erroneous wrong answer picked up. I know this works, as I imporved my scores vastly.

I got this one for christmas, and by about january the 5th i'd lost intrest!
My handwriting is unique an easy to read from the human eye, but my DS thinks it's some random junk!
You also have to shout at it .. ROCK PAPER SCISSORS.
My mum was upstairs ironing and shouted down the stairs whilst i was doing rock paper scissors and it picked up my mums voice and not mine!
Overall this games ok.. but not the best

I just love these type of games and this one does not disappoint. My son just bought a DS Lite and now has the added benefit of me buying games for it. They are so addictive.
However, I know my mental maths skills are coming on. This game has various 'brain' games from simple maths to making words up from a selection of letters circulating. Harder games open up once you reach a certain level and your progress is always recorded and monitored.
The game can save up to 4 profiles which means the whole family can join in. The first page where you select your profile shows everyone's brain age. The games show both your overall best 3 scores and the top 3 scores from everyone playing the game. Both me and my son are getting quite competitive trying to be no 1.
You know it is giving your brain a work out because you actually feel tired after it. You can test yourself which then gives you your brain age the ultimate age being 20.
The game also comes with sudoku which is really easy to play. A lot better than paper, pencil and the essential rubber.
Definitely a must buy if you like this type of game.
