Not What I Expected.

Before buying Brain Age 2, I read about it and saw commercials for it, so I was pretty excited when I recieved it as a gift. However, the novelty wore off for me after about a month. It soon got to be too boring and tedious. I would definitely recommend renting before buying. I wish I had.

Flexes all the DS's muscles, in addition to your brain

This game really shows off all the capabilities of the DS. It can utilize the microphone, the WiFi connection, the touch screen, etc. all in one sitting. It is a very well rounded game, so even if some of the tests/challenges are easy others will be hard. For example, I've taken piano lessons so playing the songs on the piano keyboard is pretty easy; however, I'm not a great speller, so some of entries in the word scramble stump me.

It's great fun competing with yourself and can get really addictive if you start trying to one up your friends. After playing this game, I've been having a hard time deciding what game to pickup next because the all seem too "traditional" now!

Not Bad...

I received this game as part of the red DS bundle and thought I'd come give my review on it.

The large majority of games I play are RPGs and/or are originally for the SNES (Mario-type games). So I'm gearing my review to people with interests in that area.

Going into this game I wasn't expecting much and I was pleasantly surprised. It was actually pretty fun. The main problem I had with it was the handwriting. I have nice handwriting, but when in a rush it can get very messy. It's not a big deal because the more you play the more you adjust to what is recognized as what.
My other issue is the lack of "playability". This is speaking from a gamer point of view. You can play each of the training games once a day and that's it. I understand the reason for this, but it's disheartening to not be able to play the games I like again. (You can, but it's the exact same one you played before.)

I give this game 3 stars because it's not something I would recommend to my friends nor would I would purchase for myself AFTER having played it (if I didn't already own it).
HOWEVER, if you love puzzles, this might be the perfect game for you. I do play it everyday and when they say "train your brain in minutes a day" tey weren't kidding. The longest I stayed on the game (just in training mode and brain age mode) was 15 min. It has Sudoku as well as a secret mini-game( DS version of tetris) which can be played over and over again and are intended to be more on the fun side of brain exercising. (The others CAN be fun, but they are more intended to work your brain.)

All-in-all it's not a bad game, but is (obviously) more for people who are into puzzles. If you like puzzles, but like to be able to play something again and again, this might not be the best game for you. (Unless, of course, you love Sudoku!)

Way too fun!!! I am always asking for my son's DS!!!!

I love this game but it is not really a game at all!! My husband and whole family enjoy seeing who is better at each of the different mind strenthening tests that there are. I recommend and show this to everyone. Even my 87 year old parents!!!

Great game to exercise brain. It is better than the first version of
the game. Keeps me interested and does not take a lot of time each day.

This is a really good game for all the family. The twins (aged 11) love it and Dad, well we can't keep him off it! Already an improvement in the boys attention and learning after a few short weeks. I am amazed that they have kept it up but they are playing everyday and keep trying to beat their best score.

Great game for your brain!

I love this game. It has really helped everyone in the family enjoy the Nintendo DS. Brain Age 2 is a great way to entertain yourself and have a learning moment.

The idea that you can unlock mini games with the more stamps you have really makes this game special. It's a great motivation to keep playing this everyday.

IS MY BRAIN SUPPOSE TO HURT?

I once owned part one and I played it everyday. I loved it, but a nice young boy was visiting my home and he played it and loved it. I couldn't help it, I gave it to him. I was sad for a while but I knew that the boy would love the game. NOW, I have part two and the addiction is worse than ever. I can't seem to stop playing! Has anyone else been changing the DS date just so you can keep trying to receive a young brain age?

not an ounce of bad.
