When I first bought this game I was addicted to it trying to get the lowest age possible but then it got boring and it looks very simple and plain. It has a sudoku game that goes from easy to difficult I don't play it very often because I feel it is very fiddly and annoying having to change the numbers all the time I think paper is best ...  Read the complete review

My husband bought me a Nintendo DS for Christmas a couple of years ago and included this game with it. I did the brain training religiously every day for the first 6 months after I got this, but after that the novelty wore off. I don't think it really improved my brain but it did keep it active in the evenings and provide competition ...  Read the complete review

Now I personally really like this game. But first I want to clear up that I don't think it's for all ages as it seems to make out. We bought my grandad a nintendo ds and brain training for his birthday (he is 70) and I really don't think he got the hang of it at all. He is perfectly capable of basically everything, but I think the ...  Read the complete review

This is the very first game that I ever bought to go with my nintendo DS. It was on offer on amazon, so when I bought the nintendo DS, I got a game for a fiver (or something like that). This is a really fun game that you can play on your own or with family members on the multiplayer option. When you first get it you only get ...  Read the complete review

I have had this game since I bought the Nintendo DS Lite from my old original Nintendo DS. It's very fun at first and you can play it with your friends to try and perform better and get a good brain age. The lower your brain age, the better and it should ideally be around 20 years old. The game can be bought for under £12 on ...  Read the complete review

I recently bought my son a DS as 'all my friends have one so I need one too!!!!' Since we got it I have slowly become addicted. Luckily my son is very kind and doesn't mind sharing! One of my first purchases was 'Brain Training'. I'm sure you have all heard of it by now as it has got to be the most ...  Read the complete review

Brain Training. Although the actual game cover and the way it is spoken makes it sound old and dated... It is actually very handy for finding out how brainy you really are and how much knowledge you hold under your belt. The game is also, quite addictive. Each time you just have to log in and prove to freaky doctor YOU ARE BRIGHT! Dr ...  Read the complete review

Brain Training is a simple idea for the DS that has been executed quite well and has lead the way for many other developers to catch on to the idea and add personal improvement titles to their portfolio.

I think it would be fair to say that the Brain 'Age' Training thing is a bit of a gimmick. In fact I will go as fas as to say any Brain Training in this instance is just a USP. But lets not let that stand in the way of a bit of fun. I do like to do things that will keep my brain active, so I was looking forward to ...  Read the complete review

Initially a very interesting and almost addictive game with a variety of mini-games to test and improve memory skills etc. however over time some of the games become boring and you find yourself more often turning on the game to the annoyed looking narrator asking why he hasn't seen you in a while. Though this is a game that although can ...  Read the complete review

This game came packaged with my DS and whilst I initially really enjoyed the novelty of it, this soon wore off and I have found this infuriating. The game supposedly trains your brain- it contains several activities which you can do and it will then test you on them and tell you how old your brain is. Activities include arithmetic, ...  Read the complete review

Nintendo's Brain Training is such a fun little set of mini games, but I'm not sure how much it's boosted my IQ. It works by giving the player a varied set of challenges, that test memory or arithmetic, or spacial awareness. Each time you play, you are given an IQ rating. It's addictiveness is similar to the kind of internet games you get ...  Read the complete review
