Plenty of fun for seven quid. [Jan 2010, p.114]

For 800 MS-Points you’ll get a quite funny game that especially makes you addicted to the multiplayer mode!

An educational mind-bender that is well worth experiencing. [Issue#54, p.105]

NZGamer

Maybe I am missing the point slightly, and this is purely edutainment for the little ones to expand their mind? Even then you would be better off with a DS and Brain Training.

There aren’t a ton of other reasons to endorse Encleverment Experiment. The graphics look like mid-’90s educational software, and while there is avatar support, your guy mostly just sits there. Encleverment Experiment is a brain teaser game of only average intelligence.

While the single-player is a total bore, things do pick up in a multiplayer game. But these are pretty uninspired brain exercises.

Console Monster

The Encleverment Experiment is an interesting and well-presented brain teasing game, but its limited scope for single player means it’s not a long term endeavor.

AceGamez

The mini-games are what holds this title together and you do get you focused for a short time because of them, but the rest of the game lacks options/choices in game play and rewards are poor for putting the time in to see your results.

If you're looking for quiz show entertainment, you're bound to be disappointed. [Jan 2010, p.69]

D+PAD Magazine

Children will garner some enjoyment from the cute mascots and simple gameplay but the game fails utterly and completely in its attempts at being a practical brainteaser.

A tedious and somewhat repetitive brain training game. Interesting and exciting GUI but the content really feels like a let down.

There are many better games out there and most of them you can find for free on the net. Will keep you occupied for about an hour both on and offline and thats it.

Mike R gave it a1:
appalling. downloaded and deleted. Why cant these supposed BIG dev companies put the effort into titles ???

rob c gave it a3:
poor attempt to cash in on the brain training genre. Looks rushed, unpolished and isnt balanced for either experts or beginners. Obvioulsy done for the money rather than to create a GOOD SOLID game that people will love.

Aleksei K gave it a7:
The visual style of the game is really good, especially comparing to Dr. Kawashima's.
