Brain Age 2: More Traning in Minutes a Day!

[drumercalzone09]

Storyline: Not much to say here. This game has no storyline. However, each day you play, you put at stamp on the calendar. Then, when you have enough stamps, you will begin to unlock new features. Sometimes it's a new activity, other times Hard mode on a previous activity, sometimes something secret.

Graphics: I think that the graphics are appropriate for the game. Everything is very clean and simple. This makes the game very easy to pick up and play whenever you have 5 minutes or so.

Sound: For some reason, I just love the sound effects on this game. The little clicking noises, or the correct noise...even the music is catchy. Again, not too much, but very appropriate.

Gameplay: The gameplay here is focused around 5-20 minutes game intervals, in my opinion. It plays that very well, with tests lasting anywhere from 20 seconds to 20 minutes! Of course the Sudoku is utterly addicting. One thing that drives you to play the game more and more is the curiosity of what those hidden games are. Their spaces are just waiting empty for you on the menu, wanting to be clicked!!!

Multiplayer: I have not tried the multiplayer on Brain Age 2, but it appears to be similar to Brain Age. It is...satisfactory. A dual game pack mode would be appreciated, so that you don't have to wait 3 minutes for your buddy to download the game. No infrastructure mode either...

Touch Screen Use: One word...AMAZING. All of the games are challenges are easy to pick up on. Even you grandma could figure it out. The text recognition is very precise and accurate here. Only a couple of times has the game registered the wrong symbol, causing me to lose points. Everything is very intuitive, from the Sudoku to the Piano Player. Excellent.





Overall: This game is incredible. For $20, you are buying a game that you will play over, and over, and over again. The replay value is enormous, and it's use of the touch screen, coupled with its addictive gameplay and hidden secrets will have you playing this game every chance you get.

9/10
Only disappointment is the less than satisfying multiplayer. However, I doubt you will want to play multiplayer anyway.

Cool, awesome review. I've yet to play this. Kinda forget about it

Hmmm, now to find me DS i think
And $20? Wow its like £20 here (most games are £30 so its good ) is like $40
