Good Points

This is a worthwhile purchase and it certainly helps improve your brain power - I noticed my arithmetic skills, in particular, improve after just a few days! It's a fun, light-hearted programme, which could be enjoyed by people of all ages.


Bad Points

You couldn't really call this a 'game', as it isn't the sort of programme you can sit down and enjoy for hours on end. You can only really use it for a short period every day, as there is a limited number of activities to do, depending on how long you have been 'playing' it. It can get tedious once you have unlocked all the training activities, as after that there is nothing else to do but keep repeating them.


General Comments

Apart from the fact that the training programmes can get a little tedious after a while, and that you can only really use it for a short while per day, I'm still glad I bought it. I've really enjoyed the sudoku, which you can play for as long as you like, and it has definitely helped to improve my brain power!
All in all, this is an excellent concept and I have enjoyed using it. It's not very expensive compared to other DS games, and for the improvement it can bring about in your concentration, memory and arithmetic skills, I reckon it's worth it!

    I agree with this review because...my arithmetic skills improved very quickly but I also find it a bit tedious after a while. One complaint I have is that it doesn't always recognise my Central Scotland accent which is very annoying. After seeing Watchdog the other night though I see I'm not the only one!
