Critic Reviews

66	Cheat Code Central Left Brain, Right Brain is an interesting training game idea that unfortunately suffers from a lack of depth and an occasional feeling of pointlessness.
59	NGamer UK ANY sense of achievement would be nice. [Feb 2008, p.70]
50	Game Informer In the end, I think all Left Brain, Right Brain reliably tests is patience. [Feb 2008, p.102]
50	GameZone This one was "done" in a single day.
50	Games Radar Left Brain Right Brain might be an interesting concept, but it fails to be an interesting game. Sure, it’s only $20, but that money could be better spent on a far more interesting and enjoyable collection of minigames.
50	IGN Playing Whack-a-Mole with our left hand isn't going to make us comfortable with our left hand. If the game was more accurate in it's measurement of skill, and there was a way to track progress, then it would at least be somewhat useful.
48	Worth Playing Left Brain Right Brain offers no interesting features, a minimal amount of variety, and a premise that develops very minimally.
35	Gamers' Temple Exercise your brain by thinking of creative ways to avoid this game.
