I've owned Brain Challenge for a couple of weeks, and I do enjoy the games, especially the daily brain and stress tests. However, the game does make mistakes occasionally (for example 3x3... you write 9 and it marks it wrong and says 32) which can be frustrating, especially since the coaches cop an attitude if you don't maintain good scores. There are also mistakes in the format of the coaches' brain questions... she'll ask you something that she's never asked you before, and then she gets mad when you get it wrong. I think the creators of this game may have been a little [...] because my coach will say things like "This is not a very good score", and if you get a question wrong, "Have you been listening to anything I said?" She scares me a little more than my TA in Biology, and I can only ... Read More

Picked it up on a whim since I enjoy puzzles & brainteasers. However, certain things quickly became annoying:

-If you are incorrect, you are not told the right answer.
-Many questions are repeated identically, particularly those involving patterns. This quickly grows dull.
-The difficulty levels are inconsistant. Some "difficult" questions will be as simple as the "easy" level (if not the very same questions), others progress too quickly. Math questions rapidly become very difficult.
-Variety was slim. Questions become more difficult with levels, but the question types don't change. Patterns for example involve cards, the alphabet, and a concentric circle shape. That's it.

The memory tests were the most interesting, although they also became repetitive. ... Read More

This game set has several different games to play, with different skill sets. My young daughter even 'has' to have her turn. No regrets about purchasing this game.

I bought this game specifically for the word search. I love to play. I was disappointed that it was not what I expected. If you're a word search fan, I highly recommend getting Touchmaster instead. It is far more challenging. This game was ok, but I really don't use it much.

I love word puzzles and the day I got it, I played for 2 hours after only planning to play for a few minutes! It's very addicting. I read the one review that mentioned that the categories get repetitive and they do, but they've been different words each time. Some categories are so vague that it adds more challenge to the puzzle because you're not sure what they mean by the clue. It's a great way to unwind at the end of the day. I highly recommend it.

This game is perfect. I can't imagine anyone not enjoying this game unless you simply don't like puzzles. It's entertaining, challenging and makes you never want to put it down. I would recommend this for everyone.

This is one of the best brain games. It gets harder and harder the longer you play and the younger your brain age gets. I especially love the piano play along.

I hate to say I started out as an 80 yr old YIKES. Now after a week I test at 47yr old. And the tests are harder than at the start so you really can see you make progress. There is a little racing man that you have to track with your eyes and tell what place he comes in and others pass him and he passes them. I do terrible at that but it is a good eye training test.

At 52 I realized I needed to do more to keep my mind active and doing these games is a great way to do that and have fun at the same time.

I highly recommend the Nintendo DS and all the brain games.

Great game and I found my eyes adapted to the small graphics after a while. I wish there were more Mah Jong games for the DS. Also, wish they would do a variety of tile sets.
