I got the DS looking forward to New Super Mario Bros. and what not, but when I saw this obviously DS game-shaped present from my parents on my birthday, I wondered what game it was. It was Brain Age, Which I had never thought about getting. It turned out that it was a gift for the whole family, because I little sister started liking it, then my parents. This was a great game that brought my family that much closer, and after a week I had reached the magic number of 20. I was very happy, because I was having fun and I found I was smarter (placebo effect probably). I got to 20 in a week or two, and then had no reason continue to play. I felt terrible, and I don't play the game often anymore. It was like part of me was gone, but now it was boring. Hands down a great one-week game, but if you are looking for something you can really sink your teeth into, look elsewhere. The games are fun, but not anything truly deep.
Bottom line: Get it for someone younger than yourself, but don't pass this one up completely, even if you just borrow it from somebody.
