 better than brain age July 6, 2008
This is a great way to keep the kids brain challenged during the summer. The games are quick but challenging. I'm in a contest with my daughter to see who can use the most of their brain. The daily test lets you know how much of your brain you are using. very fun
 More fun than Brain Age June 22, 2008
This is good game for challenging your brain. I like it much more than Brain Age.

The sound and graphics in Brain Challenge are just great,so are the bright colors and different tests.You have a stress test to do daily and a Brain test which can be done as many times a day as you want.
I have most of the brain games and this one is my favorite.I am now up to 92% of my brain and my stress level is down to 12% which is great.
I got this game as my 2nd DS game and I really love it.My second favorite brain game is Big Brain Academy.
In this game you get to choose a male coach or a female coach to help you through.You also learn all kinds of facts about your brain as you go along in play.
This is the best Brain Game I think DS has put out thus far.Try it I am sure you will agree!

I own Brain Age 2 which is okay, it has a nice variety of exercises, but this one is much better graphically, its more fun and the user interface in tracking progress is much better designed.
It covers a variety of cognitive skills such as memory, focus, logic, math skills, and visual processing. I only gave it 3 stars for overall rating because the memory exercise does not differentiate between the two major styles of memory, visuo-spatial memory and auditory memory. So far there doesn't seem to be any exercises directed towards auditory memory.
Why do I care? I have a son who has a serious auditory memory deficit...and an amazing visuo-spatial memory. He'd whip our butts at a memory card game, puzzles etc. But he can't remember anything verbally or orally presented. We confirmed this with a neuropsychological test b/c he can't follow instructions, misinterprets things he hears, has poor language skills which transfers to social skills, not interacting in class, basically it affects him on many levels. We are actually using a computer program that is specifically designed for kids with learning disabilities and weaknesess to develop cognitive skills that will transfer to stonger academics. The company has had alot of success with kids with weak learning skills. We are thrilled with the program and I saw better performance in my child's homework within a few weeks. So we have a little experience with brain fitness type programs.
Well.....except for the auditory component (which is non-existent in ds games and from my research ---Brain Fitness from Posit Science is the only program that focuses specifically on auditory development and I plan to get this in a few weeks for myself), this program has exercises that stimulate the brain in a similar fashion, but its actually MUCH MUCH more fun. I mean this isn't going to be as fun as a pure game....but this is a program that is suppose to exercise your brain.
The exercises are not as meaty as programs costing hundreds to a couple grand more ----it is varied, and it can make a difference if you use it consistently with enough intensity! This is much more fun than Brain Age and if you are interested in this genre I recommend Brian Challenge.
One caveat, the coach is annoying and so are the put downs when you don't do better than the last time. I feel it should be encouraging or sympathetic and upbeat...not "you did bad!"
Good for all ages! April 14, 2008
Enjoyable like the rest of the line up of brain games, good to make you think and a change from the fun of shooter games or mario or other fun stuff they offer.
