I bought this prior to a family holiday to France. Not having any previous experience of Brain Training, I decided to go for this version rather than the original after reading other reviews, and what a joy it was. I kept the game hidden until we boarded the ferry. When I got it out, I was expecting cries of 'oh no! Not brain training - why did you get that mum??' BUT instead all were delighted, and the whole family, young and old, played it every single day of our trip, and indeed fighted over who's turn it was. I highly recommend this game if you are planning a long journey, or just want to provide your family with some educational entainment that everyone can enjoy that doesnt involve the telly.

You get what you're expecting from this game - whether it actually trains your brain or not is another matter. But it's to Dr Kawashima's credit that he's made maths fun!
One problem I've encountered is that it refuses to understand me in the 'speaking' levels - I have a standard (not broad) Scottish accent and it just doesn't want to understand. Having tried my very best comedy Japanese-English and American accents, I have to conclude that Dr Kawashima has it in for me on the speaking games.
Otherwise, it's quite fun, and the progress monitoring lets you see how much better you're getting.
Better, but still some fundamental problems July 26, 2008
This Brain Training game was a lot better than the prequel however the character recognition was still poor. The best game by far has to be masterpiece recital where you must tap the correct keys in time with the music. This installment is the only thing that keeps me playing the game. Still a great game before you unlock everything and get bored with it.

More Brain traing is probably more suited to adults. Its better than the first one and its still fun even if you are a kid but really its better if your 8 or above. For children I would recomend Big Brain academy instead. Also adults will like that. I do like this game though because it has a big veriaty of activities and is very clear.

Other reviews can tell you about all the features in this game, so I'll try to keep it short.
The training programs are more varied and enjoyable than the previous game's. Some of the challenges include unscrambling words, remembering numbers and even playing a musical piece. However, I did find a couple of the games tedious. There are also again plenty of free or assisted Sudoku puzzles and a hidden mini-game which is quite addictive.
One of the big irritations from the previous game remains - poor handwriting recognition. As well as numbers, you will have to write symbols and letters, which the game may often fail to understand! Voice recognition is also a bit unreliable on the Rock, Paper, Scissors game.
All the training programs can be unlocked in only about 2 weeks of daily playing, so you may not have much motivation to keep training afterwards. I suppose though players might also give up if they were not rewarded so regularly! You may also get irritated by Dr Kawashima with his reptitive comments after every session, Some are even the same as in the first game.
If you enjoyed the first Brain Training game, you should like this one too! If you don't have either, I would recommend buying both games. Whilst I think overall the second is better, I prefer the warm-up games and Brain Age tests in the previous.
