    Not as good as v.1. One HUGE problem: when doing the 'quick brain age check' repeatedly, you must go through the explanation every time, as in the 1st. Doesn't the Professor THINK about fixing his game? There's a paradox too: what if you got very good scores on parts of v.1 but now find yourself rated 80 on v.2? The Stroop color test was more interesting to me than the rock/paper test. It must be fun or catchy so you'll return over and over. Why not stick with v.1 and higher scores?… Expand

    Slightly tougher puzzles and activities and a nice new brain relaxation mini-game keep this from becoming a dead sequel.

    It appears to be homework, I'm sure if one would like homework, this would be an enjoyable game, however, for the greater portion of people, this is not enjoyable.

    Haven't played the first game. Thought this version was a unique game experience. Did not experience serious problems with the voice or handwriting recognition. The fellow who complained about the intro repeating for a brain test as a huge problem must not be able to tolerate clicking a button three times as I found it not to be a problem at all. A great experience, that for me at least, showed me areas of thought that needed improvement. For the budget price you'd be a fool to pass it up.… Expand

    This game is very much worth the money and time, I just unlocked all training programs and still having my daily training because I find it funny to try to beat my highscore in Sign Finder, Change Maker and Virus Buster. I also love when you say "Pickled Plums" twice causing him to make a nasty face. Random events like connecting dots or drawing pictures of what the doctor tells you to draw is quite entertaining when the whole family is up for the picture drawing/connecting dots.… Expand

    Thought I'd really hate it but actually enjoyed it quite a bit.

    I own both Brain age one and two and I find the newest version to be more challenging than the first. But I would recommend this game to anybody who enjoyed the first game and also wants to stimulate their brain.

    The new challenges are fun, but there's not really enough different stuff here to make it a must-have purchase if you've already got the first one. [Aug 2007, p.60]

    The challenges included are great, the more full-featured games are excellent and the multiplayer games are a must play if you have friends with handhelds.

    It's a tired cliche, but it's never been more true - if you liked the first game, you should like this too. If you never played the first one, though, this is the better option. [Aug 2007, p.82]
