Advantages: Constantly trying to improve your brain age.

Disadvantages: Once you have done the very best you can, gets a bit boring.

I bought a DS for this game and I was not disappointed. I like the idea that you can find out just how old your brain is and then constantly try to improve your score to bring your brain age down. The more you play this game the faster your brain becomes and I found that after a very short time I could do the puzzles really quickly. Having to play it a certain amount to unlock other puzzles is a good idea as it gives you something else to aim for. I also like the fact that you can chose normal and hard mode when you have played it a certain amount of times as well. Having sudoku on here as well is a good idea as it gives you something else to play. I think after a while the game does get a bit 'old' when you have unlocked everything and got your brain age down as low as it will go. You can try to improve your times that you complete the puzzles in but after a while you realise that you really have done the best that you can and there is nothing left for you to do. Although I found if I leave it for a while then go back to it, it is almost like starting again and you can test how many years your brain has aged by, by not playing the game. All in all though, a good game, especially for the grown ups I think.

Summary: A worthwhile game which really makes you feel like you are improving your brain power.
