If you're bored of playing games that don't stretch your brain cells and you'd like to give your grey matter an extensive workout, pick up this program. The tests have been devised in cooperation with Dr. Kawashima himself, a renowned neuroscientist. With Brain Training you can train both your mental awareness and your memory. Hold the DS vertically, like a book, and write your answers with the stylus on the touch screen. The exercises are quick challenges that help stimulate your brain. There's a combination of arithmetic, reading and memory tests, and the program calculates your score in the form of a 'brain age' by assessing the speed and accuracy by which you perform these simple tasks.

Dr Kawashima's Brain Training has sold more then 10 million worldwide and is still selling strong because it appeals to people that don't normally play video games. The aim of the game is to better your brain age by playing the daily training tests which evolve maths, sudoku, stroop colour test, memory exercises and many more. When you do your daily test training you are given three different test and at the end you are told your brain age. I find with the stroop colour test that the DS does'nt always understand my voice and when writing things down it gets my handwriting wrong to at times. If you miss a days training Dr Kawashima will tell you that he has missed you and there are graphs where you can look at how your brain age has improved or got worse during your daily training. This is the only game in which my mum is better then me at and is great fun in multiplayer.
Don't be fooled!

If your buying this and looking to play a game please go elsewhere! This isn't really a "game" so to speak. Brain training is as the name would imply a way to train your brain. The different activities and puzzles you do will improve your brains performance. After a week of using this i could really feel the difference and people in work really noticed i was performing better. You unlock new things by training every day which i found kept me interested but as good as this is i, personally, find that once i unlocked everything i just stopped training and played sudoko all the time which was ok because there are allot of puzzles but i just stoped using the training element. So if you have the commitment then this is a great tool. Just.... Don't expect a game.
