Initially one makes a test in which the "alleged" age the brain is calculated. The course falls from initially very high, so the motivation is also ensured that you want it change what.
And then it's also going on already with the exercises. At the beginning are not so many exercises unlocked, but the more you practice, the more exercises are unlocked. And at the end of each exercise has even different level. In total there are 9 exercises:
Computing 20
Computing 100
Reading
Remember
Syllables
House
Magic Triangle
Time
According count
And that is precisely the problem. Unfortunately, there are only 9 exercises and if you have the unlocked is final. It no new added.
One can then only make the exercises and improve it. It has at the end of each exercise a graphic (faster means of transportation-better performance). In addition, the performance of Dr. Kawashima is commented and you will see a graph with a power curve on which one can see his progress.
You can always make the aging test and see if the age of the brain "rejuvenated" has. Results of the exercises and the age test but are classified only once a day and Dr. Kawashima also noted if one wants to trick him ;-)
Advantages:
- Motivation by Dr. Kawashima ("We have not practiced one week") and unlock new exercises
- Easy to understand exercises and good explanations
- Nice gimmicks way (painting from memory, sodoku ...)
- Varied exercises (even notice, reading times, count time ...)
Disadvantages:
- Handwriting recognition often does not work as fast and accurate
- Voice recognition does not work always, can be a pain, because then you always have to repeat the numbers or colors and all this takes time :-(
- With time annoys Dr. Kawashima with always the same statements to the brain
- Unfortunately, only nine exercises, after which it will be boring and you are no longer so motivated to practice every day
CONCLUSION: 4 points for the idea and the implementation (other games, for example, the logic trainer are much faster boring and bad of the image..) Unfortunately, the motivation over time and you may play only once a month , But so has the manufacturers guarantee that the successor be also bought. ;-)
