Customer Reviews

it's amazing how one review can ruin a game
I have all 3 Brain age games, and those games mostly depend on learning to play the game. You don't actually 'increase your brain age', you simply improve your interface-use skill due to learned reflexes ~ coupled with getting a lucky mix-up the game gives you once in a while.

In comparison, this game provides more of the traditional kind of puzzles, the kind used in IQ tests - such as discerning shapes, mathematical logic questions, number sequences, logical riddles.. etc. I enjoy these much better than the limited number of silly games that brain age series come with.

This game does have an inferior interface. Having to click a tiny button to read instructions over and over again, the 'host's conversation not being as well written (compared to brain age series), and a brain level-up system that is more comprehensive yet less intuitive than brain age.

In comparison, the content is simply superior if you're looking for something that deals with intelligence, rather than just mini-games. The handwriting recognition is also better (for me) than brain age.

Amazing how a single bad review can ruin a game. At the time of my writing, the above 1-star review has 67/67 helpful votes and is bashing the game in every aspect. Um, all I can say is that this person must be either from a rival company or is a disgruntled employee. While certain persons will prefer the nintendo-branded games, I believe this will also appeal to its own crowd.

Take my review with a grain of salt, since I've been quite bored by the brain age series ~ that may be the reason why I have a high perception this game.

Great Game, Challenging for all ages!
I have had this game going on 2 months now. The game provides all sorts of levels of challenge. The games are engaging and more evolved than Brain Age, which I also own. My 9-year old plays this game regularly and enjoys it as well! I have had no issues with the input recognition on this game.

Another fun Brain Game.
There are so many brain games out there and I am glad of it. Thus I can challenge myself and not get bored doing it. I think the character is a bit ugly but that is not the point here.

There are different settings for you to work in like are you at home, during a break, in transit, and advanced....me I am still beginner.

There are riddles to earn, mazes, patterns, blocks to arrange, Search which is hard finding geometric shapes. The puzzles go rather fast and as the music speeds up the time is gone.

I consider this one of the harder challenging brain games but not the most fun presentation.
