2.0 out of 5 stars Too difficult, December 7, 2009

This is supposedly for kids ages 5-12 or so, but the expectation is that the child has an understanding of things like multiplication and advanced spelling. There is no way to select a difficulty level, and the game is far too advanced for the younger end of its target audience.

1.0 out of 5 stars "Junior" Brain Trainer???, February 26, 2010

I had some high hopes for this game, graduating my kids from their leapsters to ds and losing the educational value of the games I was looking for something along these lines. I read the back of the game, adjustable difficulty level for ages 5-11. I had also bought the Junior classic games at the same time which is age rated for 4-9. I have a 4-year old and a gifted 7-year old. My seven year old might get something from the game, but when I plugged in my 4 year old's age I expected the play level to be equivalent to pre-k and K math. Imagine my surprise when the first task is complete the multiplication table. 6x6; 10x3, 5x4, etc... In hopes that it wasn't a complete waste of money, I completed the table only to get stuck on another level of fill in the missing letters. Not too bad when there is only one letter missing, but near impossible when there are only two letters on a long word. I gave up, which makes me slightly embarrassed to admit. I pulled out the hand book to see if I had missed something about the adjustable levels but did not see anything indicating what I could have done different. So yes, it turns out that it was a complete waste of my money. I will see if my 7 year old has any better luck but I doubt it.

Just bought this for my 7 year old. NO matter whether you set the age on 3 or 30 you still have to do multiplication tables I don't know many 5-7 year olds who know their multiplication tables. Now granted if he keeps guessing he can get it but where is the learning in that. And then the game where you are suppose to "draw" the picture isn't actually drawing at all it is plotting points, boring. My son kept wanting to play my Brain Age game so I got this thinking it would be more his level but now I'm thinking should have just let him played brain age. I was debating between this and big brain academy now wishing I'd went the other way.
