SCISSORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAARGH!!!!!,
by Ampersand, 2009-01-04

Ok, both Brain Age games are great. I received them as gifts recently and I am enjoying them a lot. The sudoku is great and it has actually sparked my interest in those puzzles. I recommend this title, but my only beef with it is that the voice recognition leaves a little to be desired. There is a rock paper scissors game that requires you to speak into the microphone on the DS, and for some reason, it has extreme difficulty recognizing the word "scissors" Everytime I have this daily training exercise it causes my brain age to decrease dramatically, not because I have trouble with the exercise, but because it ends up taking the game 10 minutes to understand that I am saying "SCISSORS". Because of this, it has determined that my brain is 80-90 years old.

Fun overall, but ...SCISSORS! SCISSORS!!! SCISSORRRRRRRRSSSSS!!!!!

Good game,

The only problem I have with this game is the rock, paper, scissors part. Sometimes it doesnt hear me or recognize what I am saying. Other than that, fun game.

A Worthy Christmas Gift,

Having the first Brain Age, I find this one even more helpful. I can do twice the training. I find the first Brain Age more enjoyable, but this one is great, too.

Works your brain - but it's fun!,

My husband and I are obsessed with this game. We compete with each other in all the different training programs. It's hilarious. It started out sort of hard and frustrating, but now we find it challenging and fun.

We have a new rule in the house - no talking to Mommy or Daddy when they are playing Brain Age. It's serious business!!

Nice game,

I purchased this game a couple of days ago after buying the original. I'm enjoying working with it and really enjoy the piano training since I have a degree in music. I don't like the rock/paper/scissors game. It frequently doesn't score the correct answer or the game creator has named the image incorrectly. I have no problems with the speech recognition of the first game and am very pleased with the handwriting recognition. When you are playing rock/paper/scissors, it appears to expect a particular wrong answer, not just any wrong answer. It is the only reason I am not giving this game 5 stars...
