Brain Training (DS) Reviews

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 widely known ...  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 Kawashima ...  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 getting ...  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 become ...  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, reading and ...  Read the complete review

I was very excited to get this game. It has been so hyped up that I was hoping it would live up to my high expectations and in the first instance it did. I used to play it every day in the evening. I found some of the challenges were harder than others but I guess that would be different for everyone, what I found hard, particularly the shapes ...  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 on ...  Read the complete review

At first this was brilliant I used it every day and could see I was getting better with the games and could tell which areas I needed improving on. The novelty lasted for me about 6 weks and I did it nearly every day as I felt the need to improve but then I started getting bored with the ones I had excelled at and frustrated with the challenges I ...  Read the complete review

I have had Brain training for about 6 months now or maybe a little longer, it is really clever and thaught provoking, the tests on there are awesome from the very start when you add yourself and do a small test to work out your brain age to when you begin to do the different tests everyday, the aim of the game is over time your speed, awareness ...  Read the complete review
