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.

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.

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.

There are better and more rewarding brain trainers out there. [May 2008, p.82]

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.

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.

This educational game feels more like therapy than fun.

Gameplayer
A physio-terrorist for your mind.

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.

Brain Assist is mildly entertaining, but I'm not feeling any more clever for having played it.

PALGN
A sub-standard mini-game compilation that lacks the appeal of other 'brain games'.

Games Radar
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.
35
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.

Rubbish, utter rubbish. Sloppy development, boring minigames and not enough content to keep anyone entertained for longer than twenty minutes.
