More Brain Games

Bought this as a gift for a close freind and she plays it all the time

This CD has 10 different games that are supposedly brain and memory boosters. There are a few that I think do something for you, but it's hard to measure as it depends on the speed of your computer, how fast you can move and click the mouse rather than how fast you comprehend. My favorite game is probably the phone dialer. I think it's the most challenging game in the pack. The user interface is somewhat arcane, and the program take a while to load. I wish you could use the number pad on the keyboard instead of doing everything via mouse, but that's just wishful thinking. It's isn't bad for the price and I think it helps, but it's not a cure all.

Because of the different levels, this program should satisfy an entire family from young children to the elderly.

I was surprised when I got this game. I thought it was supposed to be a brain game. I guess I missed the part where it said it was for preschoolers. Way too easy for anyone over 5.

The games in More Brain Games are definitely challenging. They're a little hokey and there is little positive reinforcement, short of scores that you can keep on the toughest set of games and only on that set, which is why I give it only four stars. But it does keep you playing, determined to figure out how to get to that seemingly impossible top score. If you're looking for brain "therapy," this will give your mind the workout it needs, but a Brain Spa it isn't.
