Not my favorite cartridge

This cartridge is not one of my favorites. The information repeats over and over, and the game-play can become rather boring very quickly. Some of my other cartridges always offer some new and interesting twists all the time and always seem new. This particular cartridge gets real old real fast.

Get a Bigger Brain

I've wanted this game since I first got my DS almost a year ago. It is similar to the Brain Age games, but approaches training in a totally different way. There are 5 areas of your brain to improve, and 3 levels of difficulty per mini-game (about 3 each area) to keep you busy. The games are interesting and unusual, and I'll keep at'em until my brain is really big. The Brain Age games are still faves. Keep in mind this keeps track of your progress and trains your brain in a totally different way. Don't expect BA3, but do expect to have fun.

Great for the whole family

We bought a gamegirl (as we call it) and this game for my daughter's 7th bday. It was the first video game ever in our home. We all love it. It's great for everyone in the family -- my four-year-old, and to some extent, even my two-year-old can use it. My strong reader is getting better at math every day. Fantastic development.

Great for Kids, adults too!

My 7 year old loves this game. We have a great time playing to see who's brain is bigger! It is always a challenge and while some of the questions can be a bit much for a 7 year old it is still fun.

Lots of puzzles to make you really think. You'll go up in levels the better you do.

Mostly fun

A mostly fun experience slightly marred by the overly talkative (well, he doesn't talk) host character. Thankfully his blather can be skipped by repeated tapping of the arrow in the upper right.

And thankfully this game didn't include the endlessly frustrating "find the birds" game in the Wii version, the one game that always killed me in competition games.

The games are divided among five areas such as memory, thinking, analysis, identification, and ... I don't remember :) The activities are fun for the most part, and challenging as the difficulty progresses.

Some of the games are not explained that well on-screen, and take some figuring out, such as Pathfinder. And it would be nice if there was more time given. But these are small complaints.

I got this for a friend and she's completely hooked, trying to get all the gold medals.

Fun for 6yo to 60 yo

My kids I all love to play this game. The games are addictive and it's fun to see what your "test" score is from one time to the next.

Train Your Brain

Unlike most reviews here, I actually think that there's more activities than necessary. I did get all gold medals immediately. To get all 45 platinum medals took some doing, though. What I noticed is that as my score breaks 2000g, things at real-life starts to slow down, which means my brain actually works faster. I had continuous improvements up to about 6 weeks, which then maxed out, and only little dribbling improvements now and then. What amazes me is that every time I broke a new record, I actually thought that I wouldn't because it's too easy! Obviously, the brain does improve, even if you're an adult. I imagine a child would have been improving all the way to adulthood. My weight is 2083g, btw, which is a great improvement from 1444g.

I thought I would get bored by the music, but I didn't. Also, I noticed a lot of little touches on the user interface. I don't think it's perfect, but pretty darn near it. For example, you can quickly retry missed attempt without going through the chatter by quickly hitting the retry button before the dialog starts. Once the dialog starts, then you have to go through them.

It actually replaces Chessmaster on my DS, and there it stays, over-riding even Metroid Prime and Naruto Ninja Council 3. Big Brain is a great brain training that is fun and effective. Try getting the DS version as it is more portable and useful more than the Wii version, IMHO.

If you love a chalange

I got this game for my mom and then one for me. I find it a chalange and it has funny music. It gives you a grade and you can compete against someone.
