I purchased Flash Focus about a month ago and have moderately enjoyed playing it. It seems very geared toward athletic types (of which I am not) and is definitely not the same as the other "exercise your mind" game that Nintendo has.
I do enjoy playing it, not as much as Brain Age 1 & 2, but enough. I give it three stars only because as a non-sports person, I think it could have more activities that aren't so sports related.

Fun keeps coming...

There are three games that I HAVE to play every day and that is: Brain Age, Brain Age 2, and of course... Flash Focus. This game is very challenging and gets extremely hard as you go through the levels and different activities! It is a really good way to pay attention to detail and train your eyes to look for certain things. I enjoy the sports games that the have... baseball, volleyball, basketball, ping-pong, etc, but all are fun. You get different activities every day based on your eye age check so it isn't as repetitive as some of the brain age games. Great game.

Flash Focus is a fun mental challenge. I especially like the sports games and my eye age has improved in the couple of weeks I have been playing it.

Fun game which improves your eyes!

I bought this game because I had tried it on a friends nintendo ds. Basically there are series of exercises in which you try to improve your vision. You do any 4 of these in one day and then can monitor your eye age as you progress. I really enjoy the sports games on this. I do feel like my visuals have improved after playing this. I would recommend to anyone who has played brain age or related games, this game is similar in idea. Its fun and you can play for about 10 minutes everyday which works well for me.

Purchased for my 79 yr old mother

On a whim - bought the Nintendo DS Lite for my parents - late 70's. When deciding on "games" for them - I came across Flash Focus and figured - 'why not'

Dad is amused by it - but Mom does her vision 'exercises' every day. It really does work to help fine tune the various aspects of vision. Mom keeps a log of her work and progress and there has been a significant change after only two months.

Highly recommend - not only enjoyable - but beneficial too.

good for moms!

I gave this to my mom as a Christmas present with a DS. She liked it but found it a little frustrating at first. Sometimes my parents' friends come over and they play it and have a blast. They're in their 50's.

Better than expected

If you can afford one game for Nintendo DS, this is okay.
Not sure if it actually improves vision.
There are NO scientific studies on the correlation of eye sight improvement with the use of this game. If you need eyeglasses or
contacts due to poor vision, this game does not resolve your problem.
It is suppose to help with making you feel younger.

It does make you feel good about yourself if the machine says
you are younger today than the last time you took the "test".

While some games are difficult, It is a good way to kill time.
If you want to kill 10 minutes to 30 minutes everyday, this is okay.
If over 30 minutes, get another game.

Not worth it, and pretty boring!

I don't know why people gave this game good reviews. Could it be that they are involved some way with this game?? The creators?? We found this game to be pretty boring. It is no where as fun as Brain Age. How can they compare it to that? Not even close! You don't get very much for this cartridge at all. I guess that's why it was only $15.99 compared to a Mario Cartrige that is over $30.

Focus

This "game" encourages you to "train" everyday with customized trainings based on your eye age. I gave this as a gift to a 60 something and she really appreciates these games that keep your brain sharp.

Fun, but gets monotonous

It is a fun game, and it really does train your eyes to catch things--for a while anyway. Eventually though, you're going to stop playing because it starts to get a little repetitive day after day after day of the same activities. It was fun for a while though, and you can always pick it back up eventually.
