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.

Good brain training

I enjoy this game quite a lot. My only regret is that there are not more levels, and that "Doctor" could be silenced after he has revealed all his little wise sayings. Some of the vocal tasks can be a challenge, as, for some reason, the DS doesn't like the way I say "blue", or if I write too quickly it misinterprets what I put down. But I think that would be true of most any game. (Obviously this is my first DS and first DS game, so I am still learning the ropes.) I am anxious to get Brain Age II to see if it is as much or more fun than I.

Very poor character and voice recognition

The games which depend on character/written number is frustrating and cannot be corrected. Enter a 1 then 2 for 12 and it sees a 4!!! Say Yellow - the only 2 syllable color (from Red, Black, Blue) and it is incorrect! There is no way to input voice recognition change which is common on most software now. It doesn't even alow you to override your score when it gets it wrong. Very frustrating.

Great daily brain exercise

I got this just for a little daily brain exercise. It is fun and easy to follow and explains what parts of the brain are being worked. I find the explanations helpful and interesting.

I've been using Brain Age for 3 weeks now and look forward to daily training sessions. I think it's too early to tell if it works, but I'm having fun with it. I also purchased Brain Age 2 but haven't used that one yet.

I love the games - especially Soduku

I bought this to keep by brain nimble. Since I've been using this, I've gotten faster at solving problems. My favorite is the Soduku. I had never tried it before because I really didn't know how to play. I love the rules for each game - makes it easy to learn and play. I'm not a big computer game fan (I spend all day programming computers), but I love this. The DS Lite is easy to use and I can sit in my easy chair, not tied to the computer desk. Can't wait to try more of the brain puzzles!

Perfect Adult Game!!

I got this for my husband... we both LOVE it!!! Even my 7 year old created a profile to play too. She has a harder time because the math and such are geared for adults... BUT she does much better than we expected!! This has been a great learning tool for her. She's been forced to learn some multiplication facts which she doesnt learn in school until next year!

We had some Couples over this weekend for our monthly "game night". We started off playing the standard board games... until someone noticed our Nintendo DS on the shelf. They asked "what's brain age?" So we pulled it out to show them. Before we knew it we were passing the DS around the table racing each other on math facts!! (top score on Calculations x20 is 14 seconds HAHA!!! Can anyone beat that? And there was alcohol involved! haha!!!) It was an absolute riot!!!

We look forward to buying Brain Age 2... but are waiting until we exhaust this version first.

Honestly,

Brain Age is fun, and if you need something to just keep your mind busy or just something to do for a little while, i recommend it. BUT, i personally dont enjoy it. its fun once it awhile when your bored, but as something to sit down and play for a few hours..NO. It really all depends on what your looking for in this game. something to do for just a few minutes, keep my hand busy - buy it. sit down and play for a few hours, got nothing to do but play my DS - dont buy it. This is just my opinion. Ive read other reviews and most people enjoy it, but this game just wasnt for me. maybe for you?
