I was eager to get the "game" but disapointed that it was visually more for a young person's eye, mind. I made an assumption that this would help me memory issues. Some of the "lessons" are good in their timing etc., but in general the content is out of line for adults 30's on up.

Thanks for listening.

I was surprised when I got this game. I thought it was supposed to be a brain game. I guess I missed the part where it said it was for preschoolers. Way too easy for anyone over 5.

not too brainy

maybe my problem is that i never played the original brain games. for the most part these games are good for clearing out the cobwebs -- testing memory and the speed of your eye to hand and then the agility of your mouse. Nothing too challengeing.

Exact game as Mind Machine! Do not be fooled!

I bought this thinking it was something new. I read the reviews here and they looked good. What none of the reviewers must have known, is this *IS* a downloadable game called "Mind Machine". And that is ALL that's on the disk! I was so disappointed, as I had downloaded and played a demo of Mind Machine long ago and didn't care for it. There aren't enough games so they are repetitious, and there is too much "junk" filling up the screen, time wasted with silly graphics etc. To market this as "More Brain Games" and say on the box, "you'll never run out of games because More Brain Games has hundreds of levels and varieties of play" is Bull. It may have hundreds of levels, but it does not have hundreds of varieties of play, and such a boringly limited number of games. Another annoyance is you have to use the mouse, can't use numberpad or keyboard, which slows down one's time considerably in some games. Download the game Mind Machine and you have this. I'm going back to online subscription brain training programs..much more variety, better executed, and much more personalized.

Worth the money, interface crude and slow

Terrible user interface, takes about 15 seconds to go from one game to the next. Ok for the price.

Under vista has a problem as it screws up my second monitor which I use to extend the desktop.

Summary, slow to start up, very sloooooow between games.

disappointed

Helpful, but not a cure all

This CD has 10 different games that are supposedly brain and memory boosters. There are a few that I think do something for you, but it's hard to measure as it depends on the speed of your computer, how fast you can move and click the mouse rather than how fast you comprehend. My favorite game is probably the phone dialer. I think it's the most challenging game in the pack. The user interface is somewhat arcane, and the program take a while to load. I wish you could use the number pad on the keyboard instead of doing everything via mouse, but that's just wishful thinking. It's isn't bad for the price and I think it helps, but it's not a cure all.

A fun way to spend an hour and exercise your mind

This software was easy to install. The Terms and Conditions of Use are very clearly stated. I found the choice of difficulty levels greatly enhanced the product and challenged me. The puzzles are fun and the techniques required to play are easily understood. My one wish is that there were more varied games included.... But it is a lot of fun and is definitley challenging...

Wanted More Variety

Though there are ten games, they each only take 60-90 seconds to
play. I do enjoy the games and find them challenging. I only wish there were more of them, as it becomes a little repititous for me.

good quick game

This is good for in between things, like taking a small break from really intense work. I would have liked high scores in each module, and of course, the types of games I'm least good at should be off the CD.
