What is Brain Age?
Brain Age acts like a treadmill for the mind! Brain Age 2: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day for Nintendo DS is a fun, rewarding game that helps you flex your mental muscles with quick activities that help keep your brain in shape. Brain Age is inspired by the research of Dr. Ryuta Kawashima, a prominent Japanese neuroscientist. His studies evaluated the impact of performing certain reading and mathematic exercises to help stimulate the brain.
On your first day of exercise, you will take a series of tests and get a score that determines how old your brain is. This number is called your DS Brain Age. Perform daily exercises just minutes a day over weeks and months to get better at the exercises and lower your DS Brain Age!
Why is brain training good for you?
We all know as we grow older our bodies change and it becomes important to regularly exercise to maintain health and fitness. Our brain is no different. That's where Brain Age comes in.
Dr. Elizabeth Zelinski, dean and executive director of University of Southern California's Leonard Davis School of Gerontology, says games like Brain Age can help keep older generations of Americans' minds active. "Americans can do a great deal to maintain and even improve their mental abilities," Zelinski explains. "Aging is about taking on new challenges for our minds. Nintendo's Brain Age is a great way to do that."
How does Brain Age work?
The Nintendo DS Touch Screen lets you write your answers with a stylus, just as though you were writing on paper. Plus, the Nintendo DS's voice input identifies particular words you'll speak during games like the Stroop Test. Brain Age tracks your progression through each exercise with easy-to-read line charts. Use Brain Age each day to open new exercises to test your ability.
Brain Age includes a fun calculation competition for friends and family—it's a snap to download this minigame to as many as 15 DS systems using only one Brain Age 2 game card!
Challenge yourself and find ways to stay sharp. With the simplicity of the Nintendo DS, and Brain Age's challenging and rewarding exercises, baby boomers and test-prepping kids alike can stimulate their brains!

Great if you can stick with it
Just as advertised it is a nice collection of tasks which force you to concentrate, remember, and think.
It does seem a bit slanted against you if you're like me and don't spell well. That said there are certainly several math based tasks which will probably frustrate those poor at mental math.
Several tasks are just incredibly difficult. Some tasks are easy to score the max possible value on while others are very difficult to do at all. I find this discourages me from doing those tasks which are harder which is probably exactly the opposite of what I should do.
The brain age test chooses several random tasks which can dramatically alter the outcome from day to day.
All said it is well worth the cost and gets the mental gears turning in ways they might not during your day to day grind.
Fantastic. My family loves it.
This is very Informative and Entertaining.I would recommend that all families purchase this product as it keeps our family together and happy.
If you like BrainAge 1, you'll enjoy the sequel.....
I've enjoyed the challenges and found that BrainAge 2 help make "training" fun. Head to head play is better but limited to just three games. It would be nice to carry over the data from the first game. |
