Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes A Day

from: Nintendo

August 20, 2007
I am very disappointed in this product. To access the games you have to determine your brain age. The test is verbal for Rock, Paper, Scissors. Except it doesn't recognize one single word. I am Canadian born, I speak English. I figure no problem. Ha. I gave it to my Mom to try. Same problem. You just offer all three choices until it moves on then you can play some of the other choices. But, each time you play, you play the exact same thing, no variations. Plus you have to 'listen' to the tutorial all the time, there is no "skip, i want to play now button'. First time buyer, last time buyer!

Hotel Dusk Room 215

from: Nintendo of Canada

January 22, 2007
I loved this game. This was the first DS game I bought of this style of game play, and it lead me to other great games like the Phoenix Wright series, and Trace Memory. I hope there is another; Hotel Dusk in the future. I played the game 2X's and was happy with the 2nd time through.

There are several out comes, but not endings. You have an effect on others, and they may like you or not depending on what you do. The second time through I got change and use the vending machines, and gave stuff away, and was liked a bit more, by some. It was a surprise ending, which I did not see coming. I was more than satisfied with this game and recommend it to anyone who likes adventure "point and click" games. It's not point and click, ... Read More:

Brain Age Train Your Brain In Minutes A Day

from: Nintendo of Canada

April 16, 2006
I bought this for my Mom, tried it myself first. I was very disappointed. Like other reviewers, it does not do the spoken word well. Despite giving it the correct answer, you would be told you were wrong and your brain age is 80! Oh joy. The written tests weren't that much better. I would write an answer of one (1) and it would read it as a 5. Now how does any system mistake 1 for 5?? I gave up on the brain age tests and settled for Sudoku. It helped me learn how to play it but certainly not by the instructions given. For the Intermediate level, the instructions didn't even make sense. And the time you have to spend with its creator is ridiculous - you end up punching through five or six screens just to get to the games part. And then ... Read More:

Nintendo Wii Play with Wii Remote

from: Nintendo of America

February 13, 2007
I was hesitant to spend the extra money to get a second Wiimote, but trying out these games on a friend's system sealed the deal for me! These games really let you get into the Wii system and have some real family fun! We have since bought many expensive name brand games for the system, but we keep coming back to the great games on this disk and have a great time playing head to head! This system is so much fun that we now have four Wiimotes! The original, the one that comes with Wii Play, a third for my child, and a forth for when family and friends visit! This is good family entertainment that gets everyone involved. No more wasting time sitting on the couch! The family can get up and move around and have fun together!

Nintendo DS Lite Onyx Black

from: Nintendo

September 11, 2006
I've resisted getting any hand held game system for a long time. Brain Age got me interested in trying a DS. I love it. The Deep blue colour is really a nice rich colour. a very grown up aesthetic to see the black and blue colour combo.
My personal test of any simple electronics device or software is basic: without reading instructions, how much can I just figure out by trying it out. Well The DS won the test. I opened the case, flipped open the top on the unit , switched on and the first thing that happened was a welcoming setup screen that was very straightforward to use. Very user friendly from the word go. The screens are great, the size and layout of controls are pretty intuitive.

Had a ball with it from the word go. So I have to eat my ... Read More:

Mario Party 8

from: Nintendo of America

May 29, 2007
A great game to play with lots of people, but after u beat all the boards, and get all the games, it gets boring. But its neat how u can play mini-games using your Mii's, or Mario characters. I love how they added Dry Bones and Bloop as characters, but they left out Donkey Kong. The game boards are neat as in they are more than just paying 20 coins for stars, you have to get them a certain way on each board. The games are really fun and make good use of the Wii controller, but they are very quick and too easy to beat.
