1) Product Description
Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day is a fun, rewarding form of entertainment everyone can enjoy. Inspired by cutting-edge neuroscience, it's a full set of reading and mathematic exercises that stimulate the brain. At the start, you'll take a series of tests and get a score that determines how old your brain is. This is your "Brain Age" -- by performing daily exercises just minutes a day over weeks and months, the better you'll get and the lower your Brain Age will get.

1) Games [Rating: 4 out of 5]
This is a fun and changelling game for the nintendo ds. I would recommend it to people of all ages.2) Brain Training [Rating: 4 out of 5]
I've been using Brain Age for 3 weeks now and look forward to daily training sessions. I think it's too early to tell if it works, but I'm having fun with it. I also purchased Brain Age 2 but haven't used that one yet.3) I love the games - especially Soduku [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I bought this to keep by brain nimble. Since I've been using this, I've gotten faster at solving problems. My favorite is the Soduku. I had never tried it before because I really didn't know how to play. I love the rules for each game - makes it easy to learn and play. I'm not a big computer game fan (I spend all day programming computers), but I love this. The DS Lite is easy to use and I can sit in my easy chair, not tied to the computer desk. Can't wait to try more of the brain puzzles!4) Perfect Adult Game!! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I got this for my husband... we both LOVE it!!! Even my 7 year old created a profile to play too. She has a harder time because the math and such are geared for adults... BUT she does much better than we expected!! This has been a great learning tool for her. She's been forced to learn some multiplication facts which she doesnt learn in school until next year!We had some Couples over this weekend for our monthly "game night". We started off playing the standard board games... until someone noticed our Nintendo DS on the shelf. They asked "what's brain age?" So we pulled it out to show them. Before we knew it we were passing the DS around the table racing each other on math facts!! (top score on Calculations x20 is 14 seconds HAHA!!! Can anyone beat that? And there was alcohol involved! haha!!!) It was an absolute riot!!! We look forward to buying Brain Age 2... but are waiting until we exhaust this version first.5) Honestly, [Rating: 3 out of 5]
Brain Age is fun, and if you need something to just keep your mind busy or just something to do for a little while, i recommend it. BUT, i personally dont enjoy it. its fun once it awhile when your bored, but as something to sit down and play for a few hours..NO. It really all depends on what your looking for in this game. something to do for just a few minutes, keep my hand busy - buy it. sit down and play for a few hours, got nothing to do but play my DS - dont buy it. This is just my opinion. Ive read other reviews and most people enjoy it, but this game just wasnt for me. maybe for you?
