A nice game to keep you mind ready and awake but there are a few problems with the way you input answers.

This is a hard game to describe but basically it helps keep your mind alert. It asks general knowledge things but in ways that you must think and be quick about it. For example 3+?=12, or it may give you a set of letters that you must turn into a word, but the letters are spinning in a circle so you really have to focus. The main problem with this game is that the answer recognition is off, especially on the voice answer questions. For instance the rock, paper, scissors game. You have to say the answer into the ds' mic. It picks up rock and paper just fine but scissors it just won't understand sometimes. It' can become frustrating because if it doesn't understand after a certain amount of times it will end the game. The writing portions are much better at picking you what you pt down as the answer, but it's best if you write the letters in uppercase. It recognizes uppercase letters better than lowercase ones. All in all this is a neat package and there is fun to be had playing it. It is more suited to older audiences. The tasks may be to hard for kids say in middle school or younger. If you can get over the voice recognition parts Brain Training 2 may be up your ally.
