Great For Homeschooling Suppliment

2009-01-05
I ordered this game for my 13 year old daughter who I homeschool. It's GREAT for that 'extra training' that they need to keep the brain sharp! She plays it every day for about an hour-she thinks it's a video game, but I know better!

Very very dull

I was really looking forward to this game. I have used other brain training games on my PC and thought it would be great to do more on the train and plane. This wasn't even engaging for fifteen minutes let alone ten hours on the plane. It is gathering dust two weeks after purchase.

Enjoyable!

Even tho there is a limited number of activities within the Brain Age games it is fun to "train" and see yourself progress. I think at $20.00 these games offer more entertainment than the Zenses games do at $30.00.

This is a good game. It tells your brain age by taking 3 tests. The tests are really fun. The training are also really fun. It has a graph to show your progress. Overall, this is a good game. You should get if you want to make your brain smarter!

disappointed

I purchased Brain Age as a Christmas gift. I feel the product could use an upgrade in the character recognition area. The numbers 4 and 9 are often confused by the program (Sudoko). x and k are also problematic (memory improvement section of the game). The penmanship of the person using the game is not sloppy. Also in the memory part of the game, the program will not accept words that are included in the list of words to remember. The potential is there, just fine tune the program

Great game- fun and educational

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.

Good time for all!

I just ordered this game with my new DS. I told my husband if he could spend money on golf each month, I could buy a DS, so I could quit stealing my 8 yr old son's! LOL I ordered this game, and a mystery/I spy type game, thinking I'd enjoy them, and I could keep my son from stealing them. Wrong!! Every time I turn around, either my son's playing it, or my husband's doing sudoku on it! If it gets my son away from Transformers for any length of time though, I'm happy. I'm hoping I'll see grades at school go up after playing these games! Seriously,we all love it, and it's so simple. Who would have thought that doing timed math drills could be so fun?? ;-)

Makes you think.

I thought this would be a breeze to play and have been challanged. The elements are fun to do and keeps you on your toes. The only difficulty has been the areas where you are to speak into the DS, the speakers don't detect a voice as well as it should.

Love this game I'm getting younger everyday.

I play this game everyday right before I go to bed. It fatigues my brain so I sleep better. I started out at age 80 I was horrified as I am 53. I knew I needed to challenge myself more so I got a Nintendo DS and this was one of my first games.

My favorite is the game where they show names of colors like it will be yellow but say black and you have to call out the color and not the word. Not so easy at first but There are ways to get your brain to say the colors
faster. I'll let you figure it out yourself.

I am happy to say last night I tested at 29 yrs old. I'm very happy and I can tell my poor math skills are getting better. I find myself doing the math in my head more and not reaching for the calculator.

I very highly recommend this game to anyone who wants to keep the mind sharp.

Strangely Addicting and Fun

Brain Age has always been rather alluring to me so when I got a DS bundle a few weeks ago with Brain Age in it I was happy to realize that I'd finally see what all the fuss was about.

It definitely isn't what some people would consider a video game. You're not really doing anything fun. After all, you are solving math problems, counting, drawing pictures and putting things in order. However, because of it's format, it is rather fun and enjoyable.

I enjoy seeing how much I progress from day to day and I enjoy seeing what parts of the brain I am training when I am playing the game. Having sudoku included in the game is a plus as well. It's like having several games in one.
