Product Description: Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day is a fun, rewarding form of entertainment everyone can enjoy. Inspired by cutting-edge neuroscience, it's a full set of reading and mathematic exercises that stimulate the brain. At the start, you'll take a series of tests and get a score that determines how old your brain is. This is your "Brain Age" -- by performing daily exercises just minutes a day over weeks and months, the better you'll get and the lower your Brain Age will get.

I guess when my kids (8 & 10 ) are playing their D.S. they want their fun games! Maybe when they're a bit older they'll love it...
I think it's great!
Rating: - ~Surprisingly fun~
I purchased a Nintendo DS and the "Brain Age" game for my mother-in-law as a gift (that she requested). She absolutely LOVED it.... But what surprised me was how much *I* enjoyed playing. When she returned home, with her game, I missed it so much that I finally went out and bought my own DS and game. I play it nearly daily, not for the brain bennies, but because it's FUN! And pretty soon the rest of my family (there are slots for saving up to four "players" with each "Brain Age" game) was playing it as well.
I don't know about the brain benefits, but I do know that "Brain Age" is fun. I would recommend the game to anyone who would enjoy wasting time playing a video game - NOT mindlessly. =D

Great exercises. Frequently, however, the software has difficulty with verbal answers (eg. "yellow", "blue"), asking for repeats. Hopefully, these exercises will significantly enhance brain function, or at least minimize deterioration in this 63 year-old (well, hey, I just scored "age 28" ;->) user. I'll see, I guess. Anyhow, it's fun.

There are many screens that give useful information about the brain, but navigating through the screens (before actually playing a game) can be quite tedious. This occurs every time you want to play or finish a game. Also, the handwriting recognition software is poor and causes you to lose points when the game cannot recognize your writing. For example, I have to write a "g" so that the software will recognize the writing as a #9. The software gives an inaccurate depiction of your brain age because you will lose points when it cannot recognize your handwriting. The voice recognition is poor and I don't even have an accent. Don't waste your money. Playing a game of chess with somebody will give you more stimulation and less aggravation.
Rating: - Love this game, although having difficult times with voice recognition
I got this game about 6 months ago. I love it!!! However, I have difficult times with the voice recognition. But English is my foreign language and I have an accent so..... I guess that for most English speakers, it should work fine. I just don't play the voice calculation game. Overall, I think it's a great game.
