 Better than the first one! June 29, 2007

I have played the original Brain Training several times. I found that one to be better than all the other brain games allthough I did get bored of it after a while.
More Brain Training is much better as the games are a lot more fun,
One of my favourite games is th Masterpiece Recital where you have to play the keyboard in time with the music.
I think I will be playing it for quite to some time to come

Having used the first Brain Training game and found it slightly buggy in terms of voice and handwriting recognition, I have to say I found this version an improvement.
The games are more fun and more challenging and it does feel like a real brain workout.
However, Dr Kawashima is still as tedious as ever with making almost exactly the same comments he makes in this version as in the first. He's not that clever either as he says the days are getting hotter when it's cold outside! With all the millions they made from the first, surely they could have altered this aspect of it - along with the transport analogies (Plane, train, cycle etc) of how you fare on a certain game.
This apart, it's still worth getting if your brain doesn't get much exercise in everday life. It just might make it that bit sharper. Who knows?

Last year, gamers really started to go wild for the Nintendo DS all over again. Not just because of the DS which was redesigned into the DS Lite, but a whole new era of mental challenge games attracted new gamers young and old. Mainly, with Brain Training, the Nintendo DS got older gamers into the scheme of gaming and excitement from verbal memory games, to introducing Su Doku, the challenging puzzle game that have really made gamers go wild. Unfortunately, there have been many knockoffs to Brain Training like Mind Quiz for the PSP, that really haven't delivered and attracted the feeling that Brain Training delivered. Now, a sequel to the original mind bender that started it all, returns to the Nintendo DS, but is it good as it was before, or falls short on memory?
Brain Training 2 for the Nintendo DS tackles on more exciting puzzles than before. The gameplay is expanded nicely, but there are also a lot of changes to the gameplay here in the game. The first main change is that a lot of the verbal games like the color strooping exam were removed, because there were a lot of problems with the microphone use in the game. Instead, there are a lot more games that feed off nicely from Nintendo's other DS mind-bender Big Brain Academy here, where you have to comprehend how much you have to give back as change in pounds and pence, to memorizing a song on a piano. Another new game is called word wheel, where you have a series of letters spinning around, and you have to fill in the exact word, one letter at a time. There are also a few things that have returned here, including the picture drawing challenges, but especially the Su Doku puzzles, withe over 100 new puzzles to test your mind. The graphics are just as simple as they were before, but the gameplay is just even more addictive than it has been before, and the control also handles that just as well.
All in all, with so many mental games in the video game market right now, Brain Training 2 really does deliver nicely for the Nintendo DS. If you haven't tackled the challenges before, you may want a new mind-reading workout. I loved the original one, and I really like the new addictive challenges. I absolutely suggest you buy this sequel, and keep that brain sharp.
With Regards to the recognition of the word 'Scissors' January 6, 2008

I bought this game a few days ago and have found it very very addictive, even our 14 yr old son, who said he didn't want the game, is playing it daily and says it's one of the best games he's got!
Before I bought the game I read some reviews on Amason where people are having problems with the DS recoginizing the word 'Scissors'.
Firstly, the instruction book says that it helps if people are not too close to the DS when speaking, and that women and children should speak in a slightly deeper voice, this is because the game recognizes mens voices better. But if there is still a problem recognizing the word 'Scissors' i'm sure this will solve the problem:-
We have found that if we say the word 'Scissors' as though we have a lisp (ie. thithers or even fiffers) the word is always recognized. We found this out quite by accident when our son, who does suffer with a lisp, was having no problems at all. We tried it ourselves and it works!!
Last of all I would recommend this game to anyone, young or old, who wants to have lots of fun exercising their tired brains and keeping them in good working order. I hope this is of help.
