    Something very different to test your mind. I enjoy the feel of playing a video game but testing my mind to keep sharp. Nice cute graphics.

    Generally a good brain exercise game, but that's best played in small doses since there's not a bunch of content obviously. The Brain vs Brain Ghosts gimmick is honestly not all that interesting though. The distinct lack of true online vs is honestly baffling. Playing a replay of someone's prior is just NOT the same. Putting ages is a waste of time as well, since many people are obviously lying. How many 40 year old grade school students do you know out there? Well apparently there's a lot you don't know about. Also there are some games that feel a bit clunky. For example the game where you adjust the hands of a clock manually feel too imprecise and sloppy. And when time is a factor in your score it only makes things worse. Still, fun can be had and it can be good for keeping sharp. If you like these kind of games I'd recommend it. But honestly it could have been way better.

    It's a fun video game that both kids and parents can enjoy together. The difficulty can be set based on age and how well you do on the puzzles. Our elementary school aged kids really like it.

    Mostly just a port of the wii title as far as actual mini-games are concerned. Some of the games feel like you should have a wiimote, but probably work fine with touchscreen, but I only used buttons/controller. The ability to compete online and such is fun, I like earning things to add to my avatar. Wish they had added some new minigames.

    My wife and I love this game. It’s a good exercise for the old noggin and it’s very competitive. It also lets players change their skill level so the matches are even. Awesome game!
