i’ve unlocked all the training modes, so im going to tick this one as completed. but i still have a bunch of sudoku things to do. which i will. am i lame because i use the notification? i dunno.

but yea, i have noticed a slight improvement in everyday life. and hey, every little bit helps. plus, its phun!!

I can’t step outside myself and objectively see if there are any differences so that makes it hard to judge whether this game will “grow your brain”. However, I have noticed improvements in memory functions and mental arithmetic skills. And it’s a fun game; too bad the multiplayer is rather weak. Overall I like Big Brain Academy better.

If you play this game after having a drink or two, or five, you will notice what alcohol does to your brain. It ain’t pretty.

I was playing with this off and on for a few weeks,then dropped it for 3 weeks. Now, I’m doing a test: Do the Brain Age Test, record the score, do the Training and Sudoku for 4 weeks, then do the Brain Age test again to see the improvement. Initial Brain Age from test on 6/7 = 41 (I’m 46, so that’s not too bad…)

This is such an awesome game… Even Michael (who hates anything Nintendo except Zelda) really likes it. Word to the wise: the initial brain age test wants you to identify the colors of the text colors are written in (consfusing, i know: as in you would say “red” to text typed “yellow” but is the color red). Problem is for some reason it has a problem recognizing both our voices when we say “blue.” The first time it gave me a brain age of 80 because of this problem, and Michael got so frustrated he started cursing and the game said it couldn’t recognize his speech (which is funny… the only time it said that to me was when I cursed too). Anyway, say you can’t speak and it gives you math problems with really good handwriting recognition. Michael, who is brilliant, got a brain age of 22 (best possible is 20), and I got a brain age of 31, which I’m content with. Brain Age is SO COOL!
