 Love it! May 05, 2008
I LOVE this game! It took me a while to actually buy it, I myself being one of the people who thought "educational video games...no way!" But I am SO glad I did. As you play through you unlock more mini-games to train your brain, and other fun things as well! There are tons of sudoko puzzles to play also! You can test your brain age once a day, and the tests are always different and fun. The only negative thing I can say is that my brain age is never steady! Sometimes it will be in the 20's (20 is the lowest and best brain age) and the next day it will be in the 50's! However, that just makes me play it more! The microphone almost always picks up exactly what I am saying, and there are many games that utilize this cool feature. The only bad thing I have to say is that the game seems to have a slower clock than what really exists, and because you can only do each game or brain age check once a day, you can't play them as often. But even so, this game rocks!

Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!
This is a great way to get your brain sharpened. It is especially great for retirees who need to make their brains as sharp as they were when they were younger. It's fun to play. A great challenge to those grey cells. Keeps you sharp.
no brain dead game here! Apr 18, 2008
Great investment. The whole family can play and challenge each other.
Maybe it will postpone my alzheimers while at the same time engage my child.
 Annoying Apr 12, 2008
While I really enjoy Sudoku puzzles & brain games of all kinds, I found this program very frustrating. On the timed tests, it frequently misinterpreted letters or numbers and graded me down accordingly. If you do not make your numbers in the exact same way as the program (including the stylus strokes in the same order), prepare for your 4's to be interpreted as 9's etc. The scientist character makes annoying and occasionally judgmental comments regarding your progress ("feeling a little tired today?") and if you miss training for a few days, prepare to be scolded.
I appreciate the premise that exercising one's brain has numerous benefits in the short and long-term, however the "cute" commentary and the difficulty with character recognition was annoying enough to merit only 2 stars.
 A BIT DISAPPOINTING Apr 03, 2008
From all the ads on television and all the rave reviews that this game received, I just had to have it as well.
Some things about it I like, such as the idea of doing daily puzzles ... but some things are very frustrating and annoying.
The frustration comes in the fact that you are expected to drill the math problems extremely fast. Writing so quickly and not having the system recognize the number will count as an error even though you wrote down the correct answer. My writing is extremely clear and legible, but many times the game didn't recognize it correctly.
I, like others, found the comments extremely annoying. I didn't care for the childish admonishments. I understood that this game was geared for adults. I don't think adults need to be told to get sleep or to eat regular meals ... please.
I don't think I'll be keeping this game. It is going to find its way to Game Stop as a trade-in very soon.
I'm a bit let down as I really wanted to like this game.
