Summary: Not my favorite cartridge
Comment: This cartridge is not one of my favorites. The information repeats over and over, and the game-play can become rather boring very quickly. Some of my other cartridges always offer some new and interesting twists all the time and always seem new. This particular cartridge gets real old real fast.

Summary: Get a Bigger Brain
Comment: I've wanted this game since I first got my DS almost a year ago. It is similar to the Brain Age games, but approaches training in a totally different way. There are 5 areas of your brain to improve, and 3 levels of difficulty per mini-game (about 3 each area) to keep you busy. The games are interesting and unusual, and I'll keep at'em until my brain is really big. The Brain Age games are still faves. Keep in mind this keeps track of your progress and trains your brain in a totally different way. Don't expect BA3, but do expect to have fun.

Summary: Great for the whole family
Comment: We bought a gamegirl (as we call it) and this game for my daughter's 7th bday. It was the first video game ever in our home. We all love it. It's great for everyone in the family -- my four-year-old, and to some extent, even my two-year-old can use it. My strong reader is getting better at math every day. Fantastic development.

Summary: Great for Kids, adults too!
Comment: My 7 year old loves this game. We have a great time playing to see who's brain is bigger! It is always a challenge and while some of the questions can be a bit much for a 7 year old it is still fun.

Summary: Mostly fun
Comment: A mostly fun experience slightly marred by the overly talkative (well, he doesn't talk) host character. Thankfully his blather can be skipped by repeated tapping of the arrow in the upper right.
And thankfully this game didn't include the endlessly frustrating "find the birds" game in the Wii version, the one game that always killed me in competition games.
The games are divided among five areas such as memory, thinking, analysis, identification, and ... I don't remember :) The activities are fun for the most part, and challenging as the difficulty progresses.
Some of the games are not explained that well on-screen, and take some figuring out, such as Pathfinder. And it would be nice if there was more time given. But these are small complaints.
I got this for a friend and she's completely hooked, trying to get all the gold medals.
