Worth Playing
If you've played Brain Training and Big Brain Academy to death and need something else of their ilk to get you through the day, Brain Assist will do the job. If you haven't played the aforementioned titles, though, or if you simply just don't care about the genre that much, then you can safely skip this one, and no one will blame you.
Read Full Review >IGN
Brain Assist is a decent take on the genre, and while it doesn't stand out as a major accomplishment, it is just different enough to make it fun.
Read Full Review >GameZone
A pretty simple brain game and certainly nothing new for the genre. If you don't have a brain game then this isn't a bad start; if you have other games in this vein, you may not need to pop this into your system.
Read Full Review >Cheat Code Central
Overall, Brain Assist is a pretty novel game idea, but 10 mini-games are just not enough to make a game experience feel complete.
Read Full Review >Games Master UK
There are better and more rewarding brain trainers out there. [May 2008, p.82]
n-Revolution Magazine UK
Ten games for 20 quid is a bit steep and in the end, without the lure of a proper scientific brain age hook, it's all a bit 'so what.' [Issue#22, p.86]
VideoGamer
But if looked at purely for entertainment value, the ten games on offer do give some good, non-violent, simple fun, even if a few of them are practically impossible to beat.
Read Full Review >Zentendo
Brain Assist is by no means a bad game; however the awful loading times and the lack of polish does not make it stand out from any other game in a highly competitive market.
Read Full Review >Pocket Gamer UK
A charming and competent brain testing game on the surface. But with only ten mini-games and a dubious method of testing your intelligence, Brain Assist doesn't do anything to better its many rivals.
Read Full Review >GotNext
Brain Assist is mildly entertaining, but I'm not feeling any more clever for having played it.
Read Full Review >PALGN
A sub-standard mini-game compilation that lacks the appeal of other 'brain games'.
Read Full Review >Games Radar (in-house)
Today, with so many able competitors on the market, we just can't recommend sparse, shallow collections with slow load times and GBA-level visuals. Whether you're looking to train your brain or just play some minigames, there are simply better options out there than Brain Assist.
Read Full Review >GamePro
Even with the odd original game in the mix, these still aren't the type of things you want to do everyday - especially with the lame scoring system.
Read Full Review >Cubed3
Rubbish, utter rubbish. Sloppy development, boring minigames and not enough content to keep anyone entertained for longer than twenty minutes.
Read Full Review >Eurogamer
On the plus side, there is single-card download play for wireless "fun" with up to four players. On the down side, if we really want to tell up to four friends that we despise them and never wish to suffer their company ever again, we can think of more direct ways to do so.
