Brain Age 2

Does your brain need exercise? It does and now it can get even more with Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day. Brain Age 2 is available for the Nintendo DS and is the sequel to the highly addicting Brain Age.

In Brain Age, you are presented with various questions and puzzles to solve usually dealing with reading, math, or spelling. After taking a sample of tests, your brain age is displayed. Age 20 is the best Brain Age to achieve. Don’t be surprised if your first brain age is in the 70s. With a few days or practice, that age will fall dramatically.

Brain Age 2 features new puzzles to test your brain. Players will use the stylist to answer questions while holding the DS like a book so the dual screens are side by side.

Brain Age is based on the theories of neuroscientist Dr. Kawashima. Some of the puzzle games included in Brain Age 2 include:

Rock, Paper, Scissors: Speak the symbol that beats the one on the screen. Players may be asked to lose as well as win.

Change Maker: Touch coins and bills with the stylus to make correct change.

Piano Player: Play notes on a keyboard as the cursor scrolls over the sheet music.

Brain Age 2 retails for $19.99.
