 Really bad character and voice recognition August 20, 2008
The character recognition is dire - enter a 1 then a 2 with an obvious gap between for 12 and it sees a 4 ! Enter a 1 and a 3 and it interprets a 9. It frequently fails to recognise Yellow (the only 2 syllable colour in the game and it interprets as Red). Most software lets you adjust for your own voice - this does not. You cannot correct wrong scores. I am now aware that the Brain Training has been panned on BBCs Watchdog - I wish I had seen it. VERY VERY FRUSTRATINGDr Kawashima's Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain? (Nintendo DS)
 mental exercise is fun August 19, 2008
If you are looking for a game that gives your brain some stimulation, then this is for you. It is simply addictive because you are challenged to beat your previous best. When you record a flyer ( best record ) a train goes by and the game creator gives you emphatic praise.
There is a number challenge (for example) involving people walking in and out of a house. You have to count the number of people coming and going and estimate how many are left in the house. Simple? You should try it. I managed to get two right out of five. I was disappointed with my first effort but I was rewarded with a Train!
Give this a go. You will not be disappointed.
Dr Kawashima's Brain Training: How old is your brain? August 19, 2008
I have just recently bought a Nintendo lite, and this is one of the first games I played, and I can honestly say , it is really good fun, despite the fact that I scored an 80 year old brain on my first attempt (I am only 37!!)
I have never been a big maths fan, but this IS fun, let all your friends try it too. Very engaging, highly recommended.
 Good game but gets boring and frustrating August 7, 2008
This game can be great fun but, it has its limits. I find that it can quickly become boring and repetative. It can also be quite frustrating as the voice recognition is sometimes poor and you find yourself yelling at it to get it to regonise what you are saying, in addition sometimes it does not recognise what you are writing.
Dr Kawashimas "waffling" can become rather tiresome as well!
Good outweighs the bad. July 26, 2008
I agree that this game can get incredibly boring and frustrating due to Kawashimas comments but simply by selecting that you cannot talk when you are doing the test will lower your brain age. The variety of games does get boring but unlocking them all is fun so until you've done that the game definitely keeps you interested. Worth playing.
