I was not impressed with this game at all. Calling anyone STUPID does not rate in my book. Thumbs down for that reason alone.
Rating: 1 / 5
I own intellect Age 2 which is okay, it has a nice variety of exercises, but this one is much better graphically, its more fun and the user interface in tracking progress is much better designed.
It covers a variety of cognitive skills such as memory, focus, logic, math skills, and visual processing. I only gave it 3 stars for by and large rating because the memory implementation does not differentiate between the two major styles of memory, visuo-spatial memory and auditory memory. So far there doesn’t seem to be any exercises directed towards auditory memory.
Why do I care? I have a son who has a honest auditory memory deficit…and an incredible visuo-spatial memory. He’d whip our butts at a memory card game, puzzles etc. But he can’t remember anything verbally or orally presented. We confirmed this with a neuropsychological test b/c he can’t follow instructions, misinterprets things he hears, has poor language skills which transfers to social skills, not interacting in class, basically it affects him on many levels. We are in fact using a computer program that is particularly designed for kids with learning disabilities and weaknesess to develop cognitive skills that will transfer to stonger academics. The company has had alot of success with kids with weak learning skills. We are thrilled with the program and I saw better performance in my outcome’s homework within a few weeks. So we have a small experience with brain fitness type programs.
Well…..except for the auditory component (which is non-existent in ds sports meeting and from my research —intellect Fitness from Posit Science is the only program that focuses particularly on auditory development and I plot to get this in a few weeks for myself), this program has exercises that stimulate the brain in other ways, but its in fact MUCH MUCH more fun. I mean this isn’t going to be as fun as a pure game….but this is a program that is suppose to implementation your brain.
The exercises are not as meaty as programs costing hundreds to a couple grand more —-it is varied, and it can make a difference if you use it consistently with enough intensity! This is much more fun than intellect Age and if you are interested in this genre I recommend Brian Challenge.
One caveat, the coach is irritating and so are the place downs when you don’t do better than the last time. I feel it should be encouraging or sympathetic and upbeat…not “you did terrible!”

Had splendid expectations for this game. I like to play any game that challenges my brain. Didn’t reflect this game was very well done at all. I played it for 2 days and threw it aside in my box of sports meeting and haven’t gotten it out since.

THis was ok…….somewhat complicated as to what score you get with each session. I dont like it nearly as well as intellect Age. Perhaps I need to give it more time but the dissatifation isnt worth the patience.
