Strengths: Fun. Innovative. Challenging. Records and tracks progress for 4 profiles. Decent replay value. Lower price. Sudoku included. Good use of the touch screen feature.
Weakness: Mini-game variety lacks depth. Designed for play during shorter periods.
Brain Age is a collection of several mini-games designed to engage your brain's prefontal cortex (the control tower of your brain). These games test speed, accuracy and memorization skills with simple activities including Calculations x 20, Calculations x 100, and Time Lapse. Based on your performance in these mini-games, you will be given a "Brain Age" between 20 years to 80 years old; just like...
Strengths: Uses NDS touch screen & voice capability
Weakness: Takes some time to recognize voice & handwriting.
The Brain Age gives you a set of mostly math problems. Try to do 1x20 in 15 minutes or less. Could be good for grade schoolers just before the big test! Don't guess: There is a high points penalty for wrong answers. As time goes by, you can improve your score & lower your age. It's a creative way to turn math into a game. Let's see you tell time (sorry if you need a digital clock) The 100 sudoku...
Strengths: Addictive, challenging, and fun
Weakness: Voice recognition of the word "blue" is spotty
Brain Age is one of the more interesting games I've played for a while. While not a true game, that doesn't take away the fact that it is fun and challenging. With Brain Age, your goal is to master mental exercises with precision and timing. All of the exercises you work on help improve your Brain Age, an overall score that you can get as low as 20. Also included are a few hundred Sudoku puzzles...
Strengths: Family-friendly fun.
Weakness: Uneven voice and character recognition.
Never before did a high scrore make me feel so....old. When I first started playing my "brain age" score was 80 (the worst it could be.) Much of the problem was due to the voice recognition aspect of the software--it couldn't understand the word "blue." Your preformance on each game is rated. As far as I can tell they range from "walking" to "space ship." New activities become unlocked as you...
Strengths: addictive game play
Weakness: weak voice recognition
In Brain age you do exercise for you brain. The include simple math problem to memorizing words. It might not seem that intersting, but the gameplay is ver addictive. My only complain is that the voice recognition sometime have trouble picking up what I said, which lower my score.
Strengths: Nice diversion from usual gaming, budget price
Weakness: Not much lasting appeal
Brain Age was a huge hit in Japan so it was only a matter of time before Nintendo brought it over to the U.S. The game measures your "Brain Age" by challenging you with a variety of brain teasers which require quick (and, of course, correct) responses. It makes full use of the DS system by implementing handwritings recognition (via the touch screen of course) and even voice recognition. The...

Brain Age, at its core, is a puzzle game. What’s unique, though, is that this is a puzzler that guarantees to strengthen your mind or your money back. It’s based strictly on the works of genius neuroscientist Ryuta Kawashima. Brain Age promises to eventually make you a sharper individual with mini games designed to empower your prefrontal cortex, or the part of the brain that’s said to...

Brain Age (DS)
Strengths: fun, unique, uses a lot of the DS unique capabilities (microphone & touch screen).
Weakness: not meant to be "played" for hours at a time
I bought Brain Age for my son who has a DS. He and I tried it this past weekend and had a lot of fun with it. The concept is that you can keep your brain "young" by using the tools available in this "game". It ranks your brain on a scale from 20 (best) to 80 (worst) by having you perform a series of tests. For example one of the first tests is to name the colors shown on the DS. It will display...
