Product Description
Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day is a fun, rewarding form of entertainment everyone can enjoy. Inspired by cutting-edge neuroscience, it's a full set of reading and mathematic exercises that stimulate the brain. At the start, you'll take a series of tests and get a score that determines how old your brain is. This is your "Brain Age" -- by performing daily exercises just minutes a day over weeks and months, the better you'll get and the lower your Brain Age will get.

Fun for the roadtrip
Since the heady days of arcade favorites such as Asteroids, Pac-Man, and Missile Command, people have claimed that video games can help sharpen your reflexes and keep you thinking fast. But there never seemed to be any hard science to back it up. Over 20 years later, Nintendo's releasing a product for the Nintendo DS that is squarely aimed at that hard science, making the claim that playing Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day can "make your brain feel fresh and sharp." Well, we're not scientists...

The Brain Workout
Thinking. Analyzing. Solving Problems. Reading. Logic. These are just some of the skills that Brain Age will help you develop (or re-develop).No, it's not Resident Evil or Splinter Cell. But it is as fun and addictive; it's certainly as challenging if not more challenging, and it's a nice pallet cleanser from the plethora of pure entertainment value games that my kids and I play.Brain Age is a bit advanced at times for my grade schoolers, but the parts that they do get really help them develop the...

Fun at first, lost interest quickly.
I was excited about this game and purchased a DS Lite primarily for its purpose.The game is certainly fun for a week or so, but I pretty quickly lost interest.Parts can certainly be challenging for a while, but others are simply aggravating.Text recognition is spotty and as a result scores and progress often suffer unnecessarily.I will say the game is much more fun when several people are playing it daily and progress is compared.Even so, the novelty quickly wears off.Fun game, but more of a quick...

Innovative...
This is latest DS game I have purchased, and somehow it happens to be educational AND fun. It gives you fifteen different training tasks and sudoku to boost your Brain Age (20 years being best and 80 worst). They're all preaty neat in that they all use the touch screen or MIC. The only problem is that sometimes the writing and voice recognition of numbers and words isn't so great. Besides that, the games like the math facts and sudoku are VERY addictive. So I recommend this for the cheap price ...

Useless buggy recognition code
The concept for this game is strong, and it's got some cute ideas, but the voice recognition - especially for the word "blue" - and the character recognition is abysmal.It makes the "game" an exercise in frustration, more than anything else.As to character recognition...unless you write in whatever font the game is programmed to recognize, it's going to record your answers as something different than what you wrote.You are penalized when the system doesn't recognize "blue" or the correct number...
