This games got a really bad review over on the main gamesite called gamespot but I don't think it's that bad. To me it's more of the same think fast type of exercises that were in Brain Age. I guess the problem with these games is that they can become a little mundane sort of like flash cards for adults. The motavation I suppose is to exercise your brain though and any exercise can be a little boring if you don't keep your goal of improving your ability in mind. These games probably are best suited to adults who really have little interest in playing any of the other games for the DS. Then you can pop these in and 'workout' for 20 minutes or so and you're cool. Sorry if i'm beating around the bush but my point is that if you also like some of the other DS games that are not only fun but can be brain exercises as well (Elite Beat Agents, Bleach2, even Mario Kart) then these brain games may not be at the top of your list when you sit down to play your DS for an hour or so. So I like this game allright but haven't been playing it much because like i said there are about 4 or 5 other games that are currently at the front of the line when I play my DS. Still I don't think this is a bad game...if you don't have a brain game yet i'd suggest to get Brain Age first and if you find yourself sticking with it every day for a month then this also might be for you.

I haven't heard anyone talk about 'Mind Quiz:Your Brain Coach' by SEGA here yet... and also I cannot find one single review of the game online... Is everyone sick of the brain game trend already?
If so, I don't blame you. The incredibly horrible Brain Blast Alpha and Gamma (or whatever) were the nail in the coffin for me, BUT not for my wife! She picked up 'Mind Quiz' last night.
I'm pleased to announce that 'Mind Quiz' is actually pretty good! I only played for about 40 minutes, but I'd put it on par with 'Big Brain Academy'. The tests are similar in that you're not pumping out math problems and counting stuff constantly like in 'Brain Age'. It's more based on colors and shapes and reflex. In fact, it breaks down your brain power into many, many different categories, and has mini-games and tests designed for each. One minute you'll be smashing windows as fast as possible, the next you'll be counting while simultaneously reciting the alphabet. It gives you tons of graphs about your progress in each category too, and what your current position means. It tests your Brain Age as well as your Brain Stress level.
I guess it was designed to help patients with memory loss or brain trauma or something, so you get a pretty detailed description of everything you do. The sound is EXCELLENT. Everything is read aloud by a soothing, female voice and the music fits each mini-game. No annoying bleeps and whistles here. The graphics are also really good (for what it is).
Anyway, I'm digging it so far, and that's really saying something because I've really grown tired of the repetitious aspect of many of these types of games. I haven't unlocked everything on 'Mind Quiz' yet, but I actually feel motivated (and interested) in doing so.
For $19.99, I'd say it's worth it if you're interested. There is no freestyle Sudoku mode to keep you gaming on and on when you just want to have fun, but it also doesn't feel like work.
Final Score: B+
