Amazon.co.uk Review: If you had suggested a few years ago that the Nintendo DS would be the fastest selling console in history and its most successful game was a self-help puzzle game more popular with the elderly than traditional gamers many would’ve wondered whether your brain didn’t need rather more training that it was currently getting. Nevertheless, the original Brain Training game has sold over 6 million copies worldwide and remains in the UK charts more than a year after a its initial release. This follow-up is meant to complement the original game, not necessarily replace it, and contains seventeen new mini-games, each designed to stimulate your brain in a different way – enhancing memory, improving concentration and generally giving your ‘noggin’ a tune up. As before the game is meant to be played in short, five to ten minute sessions each day, the mental equivalent of a quick jog round the block. The game tracks your progress from day-to-day and you can also play any of the mini-games against other people, whether they have a copy or not. As before the mini-games are all played either by writing or drawing with the stylus (the DS is held vertically, like a book, while playing) or by voice recognition via the built-in microphone. The actual mini-games are a more varied and imaginative bunch than before, with such exercises as playing a short piano piece, completing maths equations and unscrambling words. There’s also a fully featured version of Sudoku as well, making this the perfect video game for people that don’t play video games. Harrison Dent Manufacturer's Description: More Brain Training features entirely new exercises, more brain training offers a more extensive wider variety of exercises. More brain training offers fans of brain training and opportunity to train there brain further. The DS Brain Age Checks take on a new form in this title as you're tested on three randomly selected exercises including old school classic Rock, Paper, Scissors which asks you to name the position to either win or lose against the object shown, Memorising 5x5 which sees you remembering the position of numbers on screen and Speedy Symbols which challenges your memory of symbols associated with specific numbers. More Brain Training from Dr Kawashima: How Old Is Your Brain? features fun new training exercises including Correct Change which challenges you on an everyday day task- to work out the right amount of money to hand back after a transaction as quickly as possible, Missing Symbols, a twist on the classic '20 calculations' test, and Masterpiece Recital which invites you to follow a music sheet shown on one screen and touch the corresponding piano keys on the touch screen. As your daily training continues, additional new exercises are unlocked. With More Brain Training you can also play with your family and friends. Using a single game card, two to sixteen players can participate in four different exercises together. Three to sixteen players can also compete in a picture quiz to test each others artistic skills, where players score the other drawings to find a winner. Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Good, but......You get what you're expecting from this game - whether it actually trains your brain or not is another matter. But it's to Dr Kawashima's credit that he's made maths fun! One problem I've encountered is that it refuses to understand me in the 'speaking' levels - I have a standard (not broad) Scottish accent and it just doesn't want to understand. Having tried my very best comedy Japanese-English and American accents, I have to conclude that Dr Kawashima has it in for me on the speaking games. Otherwise, it's quite fun, and the progress monitoring lets you see how much better you're getting. Rating: - Better, but still some fundamental problemsThis Brain Training game was a lot better than the prequel however the character recognition was still poor. The best game by far has to be masterpiece recital where you must tap the correct keys in time with the music. This installment is the only thing that keeps me playing the game. Still a great game before you unlock everything and get bored with it. Rating: - More Brain TrainingMore Brain traing is probably more suited to adults. Its better than the first one and its still fun even if you are a kid but really its better if your 8 or above. For children I would recomend Big Brain academy instead. Also adults will like that. I do like this game though because it has a big veriaty of activities and is very clear. Rating: - Making Brain Training more funOther 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, Scissors game. ...

It explained how to use the game clearly, without talking down to you and making you feel like a small child. I must point out that it is only suitable for 20+ year old, despite the classification on the front. This is because it helps to train faculties that only start to decline at 20. It was engaging, had a good variety of tasks, and was different enough each day that I wanted to use it each day. If you're thinking that it sounds too good to be true, I do have one criticism. If you said other things during rock, paper, scissors or weren't careful when drawing with the stylus, you got a lot of erroneous wrong answer picked up. I know this works, ... Read More: |
