Sight Training (DS)

Having recently bought a Nintendo DS and enjoyed the Brain Training I was intrigued when I saw the new Sight Training for DS on sale in my local supermarket. Ever curious (and being keen to retain as many of my faculties as possible) I decided to buy it and see what it offered. Intially this product seemed quite similar in format to the Brain Training package I already had however I was pleased to see that it didn't have the rather irritating Dr Kawashima but seemed to offer something slightly more serious. The aim of the package is to offer the opportunity to train your 'vision' and alongside that there is the facility to test your eyesight and work out your ...  Read the complete review

This game is by a long way more fun than the first two brain training games. When you first log in you set up your personal details and complete a sight age test. This will give you a general idea of how good your eye sight is. Mine was in the 40s even though I am only in my 30s. It then gives you a tailored training programe to improve your sight in various different categories ie: Momentary Vision, Hand eye Coordination, Peripheral Vision, Eye Movement, Dynamic Visual Acuity.

I got my DS a couple of Christmas' ago, and with it I got the Dr Kowashima Brain Training, the game is great, and although you never complete it in that the game ends and you can go no further without starting again, there are only a few of the little games on there, and it gets that way that your only using the game for half an hour each day. So when I saw a new game called Sight Training, with the same kind of packaging and design, I really wanted it. The game isn't by Dr Kawashima but has very very similar packaging as to make it look as though it is, whether it is made by the same company but not endorsed by the same "Dr Kawashima" I don't know, ...  Read the complete review
