More Brain Games Reviews

• Exact game as Mind Machine! Do not be fooled!

  
  By AWT6LLPERDQU7 on 2008-02-23
  I bought this thinking it was something new. I read the reviews here and they looked good. What none of the reviewers must have known, is this *IS* a downloadable game called "Mind Machine". And that is ALL that's on the disk! I was so disappointed, as I had downloaded and played a demo of Mind Machine long ago and didn't care for it. There aren't enough games so they are repetitious, and there is too much "junk" filling up the screen, time wasted with silly graphics etc. To market this as "More Brain Games" and say on the box, "you'll never run out of games because More Brain Games has hundreds of levels and varieties of play" is Bull. It may have hundreds of levels, but it does not have hundreds of varieties of play, and such a boringly limited number of games. Another annoyance is you have to use the mouse, can't use numberpad or keyboard, which slows down one's time considerably in some games. Download the game Mind Machine and you have this. I'm going back to online subscription brain training programs..much more variety, better executed, and much more personalized.
  
  

• A fun way to spend an hour and exercise your mind

  This software was easy to install. The Terms and Conditions of Use are very clearly stated. I found the choice of difficulty levels greatly enhanced the product and challenged me. The puzzles are fun and the techniques required to play are easily understood. My one wish is that there were more varied games included.... But it is a lot of fun and is definitley challenging...

  Though there are ten games, they each only take 60-90 seconds to
  play. I do enjoy the games and find them challenging. I only wish there were more of them, as it becomes a little repititous for me.

  maybe my problem is that i never played the original brain games. for the most part these games are good for clearing out the cobwebs -- testing memory and the speed of your eye to hand and then the agility of your mouse. Nothing too challengeing.

  Terrific item! My 69 year old mother is putting up a great fight against Alzheimers so this kind of gift is great for Christmas.

  It's a fun product. However, there are only 10 games and you quickly find a way in each to do well.

  This game starts out a little junivele but quickly turns into a challenge. All in all a good buy but I am knocking it down a star due to it's selection of games.

  These puzzles are very interesting. You have to be quick (it's timed) and coordinated between your eye and hand dexterity. I found sometimes I had to wait a fraction of a second for the next puzzle to pop-up. This takes away from your speed score. But, all in all it's worth the money to keep you alert and awake.
  
  
• Worth the money, interface crude and slow
  By A1XO3LGQSS854J on 2008-03-01
  Terrible user interface, takes about 15 seconds to go from one game to the next. Ok for the price.
  
  Under vista has a problem as it screws up my second monitor which I use to extend the desktop.
  
  Summary, slow to start up, very sloooooow between games.
  
  
• Content ideas
  By A2RH8LJDNZ0U4U on 2008-04-17
  I was eager to get the "game" but disapointed that it was visually more for a young person's eye, mind. I made an assumption that this would help me memory issues. Some of the "lessons" are good in their timing etc., but in general the content is out of line for adults 30's on up.
  
  Thanks for listening.

• Good game program.
  By A803HGNZ2S2SR on 2008-06-08
  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.
  
  
• What?
  By A19U5S4P62QQM3 on 2008-08-12
  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.

  Because of the different levels, this program should satisfy an entire family from young children to the elderly.
  
  
• Helpful, but not a cure all
  By AEJ51LB0XGGY on 2008-09-05
  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.
