4.0 out of 5 stars A sleeker, fresher brain game, January 20, 2008
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Brain Challenge (Video Game)
This is my most recent brain game purchase. I have also purchased Big Brain Academy and Brain Age 1&2. Brain Challenge is like a good combination of both those titles. You may feel familiar with the games but not so familiar as to be bored. Where this game SHINES is in the overall feel of the games. The presentation and graphics are more crisp, updated,and modern ...Far removed from the cartoon feel of Big Brain Academy. The colors are so bright... I dare say this is a beautiful game! The sounds and music that are featured in the game are excellent too.

Some of the math questions use hand writing recognition like BA 1&2. Expect in Brain Challenge the handwriting recognition is greatly improved and much faster. One feature that I like is that you are able to take the daily brain percentage test over and over and have your new score count each time. You are not locked into only one test per day counting. Though in the stress section only your first test of the day counts. (see below)There is a nice section of graphs to track your improvements.
The game also has a stress tests and stress training section too. Some of theses games are similar to the brain training section but feature distractions to up your stress level! Some of the distractions include noise, screen blinking, bugs blocking your view. There also some stress games that are only in the stress section...Like the one that features a boss yelling at you.

As added bonus there is a section of relaxation mini "games" to unlock. So far I have unlocked a paint set,a really cool piano,a card guessing game,a interactive fish pool,a neat little game where you have to estimate how many seconds have passed. This section of "stuff" is just for "fun" a nice little bonus...Nothing to go crazy over.
Also you can choose between a woman or man to put you through the tests!

Overall I think if you enjoy brain games this one is lots of fun. A huge improvement over the cartoon look brain games of the past.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great compilation of games!, January 31, 2008

I think this is one of the best compilation of "Brain games" out there for the Nintendo DS. I had briefly played Brain age-II on my friend's DS and I think this game has more variety than Brain age. I was impressed with the graphics and the variety of games in this collection (especially in the logic section). Whether you are thinking about your first game in this genre or thinking about expanding to your brain games library, this is a great pick.

3.0 out of 5 stars I was hoping for something better than this, March 24, 2008
= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Brain Challenge (Video Game)
I'm 61 (female & very competitive against a standard - - one of the reasons I like Brain Age) and bought this game for mental acuity training. I have Brain Age 1 & 2, plus Big Brain Academy. I do all of these, start to finish, daily. (I'm committed!) I thot Brain Challenge might be a good addition, but I must say I don't particularly care for it. (1) The writing recognition is *very, very* sketchy. I find I have to press very hard with the stylus to make a mark, and often my answer is correct and read incorrectly. Sometimes the marks don't register at all! (2) There is no how-to-play info other than what's given on the screen (there should be directions on the liner notes in the case). Several games I have yet to figure out. (3) The "countdown" screens with the "rolling and flashing block" are very irritating, especially since I have epilepsy & need to avoid "flashing" things whenever possible. I have to turn the unit over. (BA & BBA have countdowns, too, but far, far less intrusive.) The opening BC screen is a "flasher," too; it's worse than the rolling block! (4) The "helper" says non-helpful things such as "What's wrong with you today?" and "That's worse than before" and other insults. Who wants to pursue something without any instructions and then get insulted for not doing well? I know it's a game, but really! (5) There are a lot of "question screens" that one must tap through to get to the next game. ("Do you know the brain.....?") Maybe there's a way to skip through those entirely and return to the main menu, but I've not found it yet.

On the plus side, the music isn't too terrible. All the games are stylus-activated, as is the case with BA and BBA.

If you want a follow-on to BA1&2 and BBA, Brain Challenge is not it, IMO. mb
