Too Much Trouble

I thought this game would be good because I enjoy Brain Age 2 and other learning games. This one though requires you to turn the nintendo ds around over and over again during a game. It is not worth the trouble.

you get annoyed pretty quickly

I was excited about this game but I got dissapointed just as fast. It is all about training your left side of the brain (for right handed people...for left handed the other way around) by letting you you use your "bad" hand.
I got annnoyed very quickly. I love all the other brain games but this one is too tedious.

While I find the game it's self very fun and I feel like I might be improving my skills in the process, I was not thrilled with the way they don't allow competitors to be ranked number one in the Solo section. If there are other people in your school, you should still be compared to them for who has the highest score. Also, all WII games show up green on my screen and the colors make using the game a bit hard.

Good for people who AREN'T already ambidextrous.

I bought this game because I'm ambidextrous and thought it would be a fun thing. I did enjoy it, but I'm bummed because I completed the whole game in just one sitting - which lasted about 45 mins tops.

If you're not ambidextrous, I'm sure this game will be a lot better because you can improve your brain. If you are however ambidextrous, I wouldn't buy it.

I would give my right arm to be ambidextrous. At least they are doing something that can actually improve themselves . We have most of the educational games and this is one of the most useful. If only you could get an attachment to allow you to drive a monitor or a TV from the card, then your eyes would be allowed to focus at different lengths.

Dissapointed with "Left Brain Right Brain"

After using Brain Age I and Brain Age II, "Left Brain Right Brain" was a definite dissapointment. Stick with Brain Age I & II!

FUN FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY

I highly recommend this game for any age! It tests your left and right side (brain) utilizing various exercises-games and then grades your efficiency. It then continues to provide a variety of games utilized to improve your deficiencies. As I said it is for ALL AGES - I initially purchased this for my 8 year old autistic son and soon we all became addicted to it - my 14 year old likes it, my 10 year old, my 42 year old sister and it was one of the first games that I have ever played belonging to the kids. It is a game for the entire family. Easy to follow screen. Very user friendly.

I am getting it

I am very happy with the exersize left brain right brain. I purchased the program for my husband he is retired and we both think that he needs to keep the mind moving to stay healthy. My husband is one of those that you can not get infront of a PC or a electric game for any reason. But I decided for his 61st birthday to buy him a DS and he is really loving it. I don't hear him slam it shut as much and he is actually coming and showing me his prgress and I think he looks forward to his time in the evening when he works on all his games.

Uneventful But Could Be Helpful

I got this game to, like everyone else, help balance out the usefulness of each of my hands. I was disappointed that after the initial evaluation exam, the game considered me almost 100% ambidextrous (I think I got 98%). It was disappointing because there is a noticeable difference in my writing between my right (dominate) and my left hand.

After the first exam I kept at it. I went through a couple of the different activities. I now know why I was considered almost 100% from the start. After working to get better scores on each of the activities, there was no noticeable increase in the usefulness of my left hand.

Some of the activities were enjoyable while others lacked any thrill what so ever.

I recommend borrowing this game and seeing if this is for you. If you get almost a perfect score from the first exam, pass over this game because it will not help.

Not bad - For those who REALLY want to become ambidextrous

This was actually more enjoyable than I thought it would be; we do not realize how much we rely on a dominant hands (we being those of us not gifted enough to be ambidextrous). I can think of lots of reasons that one might wish to become ambidextrous, least of all just for the heck of it.

As a statistic, this reviewer broke her hand while playing a Nitendo Wii (go ahead and laugh... I did it while bowling). Being that I broke my dominant hand, I was actually forced to use my non dominant hand for many tasks. After that, I decided that I actually DO want to become a little more adept with my non dominant hand and this game may actually help.

I suppose after my being forced to use my non dominant hand, I'm not that surprised that I actually did quite well with the non dominant hand but there is room for improvement and I will actually try in order to be a little more comfortable in doing so.

Why climb Mt. Everest? "Because it's there". Why become ambidextrous? "Because I can".
