Outstanding! April 30, 2006 Reviewer:  Proud Mom "Diana G" (Winter Park, FL USA)  See all my reviews >

I purchased this for my 13yr old son last week and he hasn't stop playing it yet! He has every game console out but this one has really caught his attention. I've even used it and I'm a Teacher! I think that this was the best thing that they have evented. It really challenges the brain on daily training techniques. It even has Sudoku! Everyone who owns a DS needs to go out and buy this! For only $20 it's not only a good price but well worth every penny! Great Job Dr Kawashima!

Great for elderly too October 25, 2008 Reviewer:  Proud shopper "Janice M" (Texas)  See all my reviews >

I bought the Nintendo DS and Brain Age for my 72 year old mother and it was the best money I ever spent. My 11 year old grandson (her great-grandson) taught her how to use it and they now have something they do together. He enjoys spending time with her and she of course loves him but we are noticing that her mind is a little sharper with this game. She is in the early stages of alzeheimers so we are trying anything to help keep her mind active. I know it is not a cure but if it can give her a little more time I'll take it. Thanks Nintendo.

Love it! December 29, 2008 Reviewer:  Mchlls22 "Michelle" (Palm Springs, CA)  See all my reviews >

I bought this for my daughter but I play it too. I love that it has an option for right or left handed plus you can choose larger words if you need them. I'm 29 and my daughter is 9 and we both enjoy playing it. Looking forward to trying 2.

WORST GAME EVER!!!!! September 17, 2007 Reviewer:  YORKIE LOVER (LB, CA, USA)  See all my reviews >

I think this is the most boring, worst game ever. If you like school I recommend buying this, but if you don't, don't waste your money like me! I HATE BRAIN AGE!!!!!! Even if I have a brain age of 20.

Fun To Test Yourself February 1, 2009 Reviewer:  JaZoRa (Granite State)  See all my reviews >

I am 50, bought the game to stimulate my brain. It worked. The first test my brain age was "56". Within one week, I got my "brain age" to 30. I enjoy challenging myself every day. You are only competing with yourself!

I got this game for my birthday last year and I love it! Some of the math games are kind of hard, but most of it is really fun!
