While the puzzles are usually entertaining, the fact that the same question can pop up over and over again regardless of a right or wrong answer previously is somewhat annoying, especially when we kept getting it wrong, with no help as to what was the right answer.

A game that you should certainly pass by. It has few, if any, redeeming qualities, and I'm hard-pressed to imagine the sort of person who could actually have fun with this title.

It is a bad sign when you are unable to choose your difficulty level right from the beginning and the game makes you go through the easier difficulties in order to get to the truly difficult ones.

The game is easy, shallow and repetitive. Stop reading this and buy Brain Age. Your brain will thank you.

There’s very little here to challenge a first grader and the memory games are just way too insulting. Brain Age still the intelligent choice so avoid this one at all costs.

If you're afraid you might be a complete moron, feel free to pick it up, since the game will never tell you how stupid you are, or anything else for that matter.

The real test of intelligence here is whether or not you are smart enough to avoid this game.
