Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training (DS) Reviews

Haven't played on this for a while because it was put away tidily and out of sight out of mind. However, before I tidied, this was permanently in my ds and I used it every night, so did my husband. I love it! It doesn't become dull because you only need to do each game once each night. Not sure whether it does improve your brain power or not ...  Read the complete review

Absolutely fantastic! Really what more can I say. Even my son (7) thinks it is brilliant though I think it would be great if you could enter you age and the software could adapt to the player's age. My partner and I have great fun competing with each other on the timed trials and brain age sections. He always beats me on the simple maths though! I recommend anyone to buy this!

There are loads of different exercises and parts of the game to keep you ...  Read the complete review
