 Would Be Better If... March 22, 2008
... the stupid game could tell the difference between a 4, an 11 and a 9 and not see an "x" where I write in a "y." Apparently, I am an idiot because I spell "kick" as "xlcx" and keep saying 2+2 = 11 and 2+2 = 9. Overall the game is enjoyable and I would actually give it 5 stars if not for this idiotic hand writing thing.
Brain Age March 22, 2008
At first , I did not like the game .But ,I do now .It does have a flaw about being able to hear , there is a question asked of the player --Can you speak or not If you choose speak for some reason it will go just so far and then it says it can't hear you other than that its a good game and I probably will look into buying Brain age II .
 At least is has Soduku March 12, 2008
I found it rather frustrating how often it misunderstood my speech (English IS my first language) and even more-so my numbers it frequently misread my 1's, as 4's and made up numbers for my 8's, all of which I could probably "train" myself for. What I couldn't stand and ultimately lead to my abandoning this game was the repetitiveness and the number of screens you need to just to get to the training. The attempted humor FAILS and I don't need to see the same "how to make this software more useful" screens over and over and over for a program intended for daily training, guess what, its working I remember them from yesterday and every day prior, shut up and let me get to the training already.
Soduku was fun, unfortunately it didn't have many games and your score was horribly punished by the games inability to interpret your numbers.
Something intended for daily training should not be so annoying just to get to the training.
 It's Good...What More Can I Say? March 3, 2008

This game is fun if you like puzzles. I do.
It is a simple game, it keeps me occupied and entertained, and if it helps increase my brain power, well, that is an added bonus!
As other reviewers have mentioned (I have admittedly not read the almost 200 reviews here; sorry if I am repeating anyone), there are now outstanding graphics, the music is beyond simple, and the sound effects are amateur at best.
Still, I think this is part of the charm and appeal of the game. It is simple and fun.
I still, however, don't know why it is so expensive. It is worth it if you play it a lot, though. Try to find it used for a lower price.
Boring after a while February 12, 2008

I found this "game" challenging for the first day and then got completely bored with it. You unlock all of the "training" activities after you've entered the training zone 16 times... so there's no real mystery as to what's in store day after day. I find the doctor a little annoying at times and wish he would stop saying the same things over and over again. I play soduku a lot and that's been more fun than anything else. After you reach the goal of the 20 year old brain - there's no more challenge to go after.
