Not much to do...
This game has WAY too little minigames! I got through everything in less than 30 minutes and then got bored and put it away! i was NOT satisfied with this product. right when i thought i was doing well that guy gave me a bronze medal. it would've been more fun if there were more minigames and more things to do.

My 6 Year old loves it
Highly addictive game, me and hubby and in contest to beat each others score, and our 6 year old thinks its great, needs a bit of help with the reading but the puzzles adapt to all levels, would not besuitable for anyone under the age of 6.

I did not enjoy this game. Dr. Lobe is very annoying when he grades your brain and says "Hm... I've seen bigger, much bigger" The game is fast, in fact a little to fast. The reason I gave this game a 10+ is not that it is bad it is just that it may annoy younger players. Also it has A LOT of FAST math like : coin adding, +,-,x,dividing number words, adding cubes,and pictures.

A good game for kids, but can be evil at times
Okay, I don't understand the grade system at all. It almost seems impossible to get higher than C+. Also, some of these games can be unfair, for example, the dog biscuit one. It's fine until they introduce the moving blue blocks. You can easily go to the exact position it tells you to and the blocks move in a way that ensures you're not gonna get that bone. That's pure evil. Also, after a while, yeah, it does get repetative as you'll find yourself playing the same games constantly. It's good for kids, but it's almost insulting to one's intellect, especially with the grade system.

Not Good for Young Kidds
Little kids won't have fun at all, pero if you're older, you will really enjoy seeing who has "the larger brain."

Maybe it's not for the Average Brain
It's a good game to test your skill within certain game categories, but after a while you get bored because it seems repetitive and get discouraged when your Brain Age grade never gets higher than C+ (I don't want to know what that says about me). My nephew was discouraged after averaging a Brain Age grade of C and although he practiced games within the practice portion, he just couldn't get into it because, according to him, "the challenge is no longer there, especially when I keep getting a C." And so, we both gave the game a break and played Scrabble.

Meh
It's, for lack of a more blunt word, good, but it does get boring after a while. Right now, in the test, I have a C+. & not getting higher.

Brilliant!
I love the way they presented this way! It's better than Brain Age. There's more variety and better multiplayer. The graphics are interesting...in a good way! It's much more challenging to make you're way to the top than Brain Age was. I like a challenge though!
