Soon after purchasing my Nintendo DS, I decided to buy Brain Training since this had received some good reviews. Tired of the usual repetitive games, this game sounded new and appealing.

However saying that, it is interesting to see how your brain age improves and how much quicker the exercises are ...  Read the complete review
