Brain Age 2 Reviewed

Filed in archive Nintendo DS on October 15, 2007

Brain Age 2 continues the Japanese trend of games that aren't really games with Brain Age 2, and old people the world over seem to be lapping it up. But is this just for geriatrics, or will anyone get a kick out of challenging themselves to some real brainbusting action?

Portable Videogamer report, in their full review:

"Brain Age 2 is highly recommended for casual players. Offering short, daily bursts of play time and a simple design, this game is perfect for the casual player looking for a bit of gaming fun, especially for those who can share it with multiple friends or family members and compare their results. Hardcore gamers, on the other hand, are advised to try before buying, as the lack of challenge, and replay value will turn off many of them."

Scoring a borderline respectable 7/10, this doesn't look so much "must have" as "might try", but I'm sure grandmothers across the nation will love it.
