Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.

What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Left Brain Right Brain is a slow, repetitive, and confusing arcade-style game. It includes several exercises that test the speed and dexterity of your right and left hands, such as navigating through a maze. These exercises are supposed to tell you how left-brained or right-brained you are and help you improve your weaker hand, but there is no explanation of the results and progress is difficult to track. The exercises themselves take a long time to load, despite the low quality graphics. There is some cartoon violence, but no blood. Multiplayer with nearby devices is possible using Bluetooth.

Is It Any Good?
Left Brain Right Brain is based on the idea that how right- or left-handed you are is based on how right- or left-brained you are. In practice, it is a series of simple but tedious arcade games with confusing attempts to draw conclusions by comparing the performance of your strong and weak hands. Meanwhile, the slow interface, repetitive and long exercises, and poor graphics will wear down the player's patience. There are various levels of play, but tracking overall progress is difficult. This game feels very dated, including the sounds and music. Overall, not worth it!
