Good video game. Other more extensive and cheaper alternative is to join a brain gym such as Agogus.com with plenty games and more. 436285@blogcritics.org Fri, 1 Sep 2006 17:53:15 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/06/17/005204.php#comment-401321 you can try out brain age if you walk into best buy; just ask one of the staff members to show you how to download it onto your own ds until you turn the power off. I did this, and I found a couple of HUGE issues with the game. 1. when you write numbers, it often cannot read what you have written, mistaking 4s for 9s and 7s for 1s 2. it utilizes the microphone asking you to say color names, but for some reason it could not understand when I said "blue." it took an average of 7 tries for it to understand what I was saying, and usually then only when I said it very quickly. 401321@blogcritics.org Sun, 2 Jul 2006 13:19:29 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/06/17/005204.php#comment-392959 Just a tip. Don't forget tomorrow(June 18) is the last day to get Brain Age for free when you buy a DS Lite. Go to CircuitCity.com or BestBuy.com to print out a coupon. Too bad I didn't see it fast enough before I bought mine. 392959@blogcritics.org Sat, 17 Jun 2006 17:56:38 EDT
