Last year, gamers really started to go wild for the Nintendo DS all over again. Not just because of the DS which was redesigned into the DS Lite, but a whole new era of mental challenge games attracted new gamers young and old. Mainly, with Brain Training, the Nintendo DS got older gamers into the scheme of gaming and excitement from verbal memory games, to introducing Su Doku, the challenging puzzle game that have really made gamers go wild. Unfortunately, there have been many knockoffs to Brain Training like Mind Quiz for the PSP, that really haven't delivered and attracted the feeling that Brain Training delivered. Now, a sequel to the original mind bender that started it all,

O.k. It's a great game, but the critics are right, the repeated instructions on the 'Brain Age Check' are extremely annoying. But the is a way you can get the games that you want. I discovered that by pressing the 'Start' button, just before you go onto the 'Brain Age Check', then the selection screen will come up and you can choose what you want to play! Unfortunately, once you have unlocked all of the games, there is nothing else to. AND, like everyone else is saying, the voice regognition is rubbish, but all you have to do to avoid using that particular game is say, 'I Can't Speak'! All that changes is one game to replace the voice game. To unlock 'Germ Buster',

It seems that most people have a 'love/hate' relationship with this game - it's a Big seller, but that's probably mostly due to the fact that Nintendo are very clever at creating must have fads.Anyway...I like this game, it's fun to play and I do feel better after playing it - I felt kind of like I'd let my brain stew a bit just lately (and with a brain age of 69 on my first test I think that proves it!)After playing this game for about a week my age has gone down to 30 (and during the day when it's not being recorded on the graph I've got the elusive 20 too!)I have to also say (LOUDLY!) I've never had ANY problems with either the writing or the voice recognition.

OK - so I am behind. I never played the original brain training, and I only just bought my DS. I am 32. I have got tired of consoles and games. I recently played on my friends PS3, and yeah the graphics are great, but the gameplay on the games is the same old stuff it has been for the last 10 years.Nintendo are changing all that. Just as they did back in the say of Game and Watch. Not only is the DS an innovative format with the stylus and two screens, but they are getting games released that will change gaming forever.I love the way this game interacts with you. It keeps a track of real time, and is a genuine training assistant. If you log on at 11.50pm he says, my it's late,

and it doesnt feel like your doing work, all the games are strangely enjoyable even though its basically maths and english. this installment has a great new list of tasks, although if you've played the original some may seem a bit familiar, but on the whole its a completely different game.as for voice recognition, i know it can be a problem but you can get round it by saying you can't speak and do written tests instead, but i have to say, i have had few problems playing rock, paper scissors but it might just be me.it is the most addictive game i own for my ds, and no matter what you'll keep coming back to play it, even if he does say your brain is tired and your a pensioner when really your in your teens.

Other reviews can tell you about all the features in this game, so I'll try to keep it short.The training programs are more varied and enjoyable than the previous game's. Some of the challenges include unscrambling words, remembering numbers and even playing a musical piece. However, I did find a couple of the games tedious. There are also again plenty of free or assisted Sudoku puzzles and a hidden mini-game which is quite addictive.One of the big irritations from the previous game remains - poor handwriting recognition. As well as numbers, you will have to write symbols and letters, which the game may often fail to understand! Voice recognition is also a bit unreliable on the Rock, Paper,

I have been playing the previous game for the past few years and really enjoyed it.. but this ones a completely different level.It is so much more challenging, especially the word blend and memory addition.It seems to recognise my hand writing much better than the first, but I have absolutely no hope with the rock, paper, sissors game, it doesn't understand my speech at all.Unlike the old game you can spend longer on it doing the tests, I am not sure if there are more, or if they just take me more time.One of the things I find frustrating is the way it scores you. For example on word blend or word scramble, it takes your time as being what determines if you are good or not.

It became a habit of mine training my brain for common problem solving and develop more speed while doing such tasks. Very little games do develop your brain in an meaningful way, but this one is probably the most known between Nintendo DS/3DS owners.The game interface is very simple, with a restrict selection of mini-games included, so don't expect graphics or complex soundtracks here, but for its purpose, it's one of the best around (that doesn't include monthly subscriptions, to say the least). The mini-games are creative and you receive some feedback after playing, with ways to develop your skills by yourself with daily activities (outside playing the game, of course),

I ordered more brain training in the post a few days ago with a nintendo ds lite. It came yesterday and i am really enjoying the game.I have played on the first one at my friends house and loved it and because my dad wanted me to have a brain training game i chose this because the first one is good, this is meant to be better and id never played big brains academy. I also chose it because of its great reveiws and because you can play music. I LOVE MUSIC.I like it because you can play the keyboard (thats the best game so far that i have been on) and you can solve many maths and english problems. I also like how sometimes when you log on you are asked to draw pictures or write acrostics,

I bought this game a few days ago and have found it very very addictive, even our 14 yr old son, who said he didn't want the game, is playing it daily and says it's one of the best games he's got!Before I bought the game I read some reviews on Amason where people are having problems with the DS recoginizing the word 'Scissors'.Firstly, the instruction book says that it helps if people are not too close to the DS when speaking, and that women and children should speak in a slightly deeper voice, this is because the game recognizes mens voices better. But if there is still a problem recognizing the word 'Scissors' i'm sure this will solve the problem:-We have found that if we say the word 'Scissors'

There is an absolute brilliance in a series of games that encourage you to use your brain, I maintain my belief that this game is deserving of an award of some nature. As the second instalment of the popular game it has a lot to live up to and I am glad to say that the games are as addictive as those in the first, if not more so. As in the first game the objective is to lower your brain age to that of 20, which the game states is the best you can get. Some might say that it is frustrating that the game cannot produce an IQ reading or anything of any particular meaning, however I think that the real point of the game is that it doesn't want to seem like it is making you work.

I certainly found the games in the sequel much more fun than that of the original. The original games did train your brain and were quite addictive, but in my opinion, that was for the sake of getting the highest score which many people wanted to do. However, the games in the second one are addicitive purely because they're more fun. It even includes an extra game which relaxes your brain, rather then training it, which I must say is the most addictive. Buy it and you'll be playing it for days, trying to get a brain age of 20. Basically if you enjoyed the first one, buy this. If you haven't got either but plan on getting one of them, get this one.+ Fun games which train your brain.+ And as if that wasn't enough,

Okay to state it's not what I expected is a bit clumsy as it's obviously a product to help train the brain but in terms of enjoyment and lasting appeal it certainly has it!I havn't played the original so to delve straight into this title was a bliss. Instructions are clearly laid out and nothing too complicated or long-winded. I've played it for 5-10 minutes everyday since I purchased it, all the 'game's are enjoyable. One negative is that voice recognition is still a little undeveloped but I've only needed to use it for the one game so far. The idea of having a personal accomplice works perfectly with this and makes you want to beat your record and come back to acheive a better brain score,

This is a good fun game everyone can try, although some of the challenges are seemingly impossible! It can, however get a little repetetive at times.My review here is to mention 3 flaws in the software.1) In the 'match the symbols' game, if you draw the percent symbol (%), the game quite often mistakes it for the Euro symbol ().2) In the 'word blend' game, sometimes the London accent can be hard to understand, ie "culture" is pronounced as "cawcha", which is tricky if you're from the North, like myself.3) In the 'days and dates' game, the software has real trouble recognising when you write 'Thu', no matter which way you try and write it. I've not tried tuesday yet but assume it's a similar problem,

As the last reviewer insructively, but perhaps unintentionally, demonstrates, there is a fatal flaw in Dr Kawashima's premise that higher perfomance can be equated with youth rather than intelligence.Whatever conceptual and empirical doubts it may raise, these pale before the commercial folly of trying to persuade a 19 year old to be excited about a game whose only goal is to establish that your brain is 20. If it tells you that your brain is 20 (unlikely) you wonder why you spent the money; but if it tells you your brain is 80 you know it's talking rubbish.Of course it's quite different for anyone over 40, who is quite ready to be flattered.
