This cartridge was clearly made by people who love these sorts of games... An excellent choice for people seeking a little quality "pick up and play" action.

The gameplay is what you would expect, with a well-designed AI ensuring that there is plenty of challenge.
85 IGN
Easily the best feature of Ultimate Brain Games is its focus on multiplayer. More specifically, its focus on single-cartridge multiplayer.
85 TotalGames.net
It’s been carefully crafted to provide superb gameplay, and especially great graphics, despite the fact that games of this nature can only ever really be used for boredom-busting.
80 Cheat Code Central
The great thing about Ultimate Brain Games is that there is enough variety here for all interests. Even if you're not convinced you would make a good chess player, it's always there should you want to take a stab at it.
