Reviewed on 2007-09-09 Can you spell confidence? The main difference between that Mind Quiz and Brain Age is the "grading" system. In Brain Age, you get a letter grade; it made me (and my entire family) feel stupid--it's ridiculously hard to get that A+. But in Mind Quiz, you get a number, and all the grading is based on how old you are. With Brain Age, my mother, who is 52, gave up because she couldn't get better than a B, but Mind Quiz tells her she has the brain of a 39-year old. Talk about a confidence booster! You get a lot more statistics with Mind Quiz: brain alertness and mind activation. It recommends mini-games for you to play based on how well you do the assessment tests. The speech and number-writing recognition is a little behind Nintendo, but overall Mind Quiz is a much more satisfying game to play. Two thumbs up!

Reviewed on 2007-06-27 Well done, a few minor flaws In general, this is a pretty good game. The concept of having several games is definitely appealing and the explanations that go along with the brain age and brain stress degree are well written and informative. Nevertheless, there are a few caveats. It appears that games that require one to use voice commands leave a bit to be desired. Despite speaking clearly and distinctly, the game still often does not recognize answers - Case in point, one of the games has the player look at a picture of an apple (for example) with the word "banana" written underneath. Now, the game commands the player to SAY THE NAME OF THE FRUIT (as opposed to saying the word that can be read underneath). Obviously, this is a little "trick" designed to get the player to say what is seen without the distraction of the written word - not difficult but a sharpening tool. Nevertheless, the game is rather poor in this regard because despite very clearly enunciating "apple" multiple times, the game never recognized it. Different volumes and different tones of voice were used and we tried doing so at different distances from the microphone. There should also be a touch numerical keypad for games that require insertion of a number. The game does not read handwriting very well and often mistakes a "6" for a "0", et cetera. Nevertheless, this is still a good "brain sharpening" tool that can be entertaining as well. Something else that is appealing is having to think about two things at once. For instance, while performing a puzzle, the player must remember to keep an eye on the left hand side of the screen to watch for the dog that is running up the side. The dog must not be permitted to move into the upper screen. Thus, the individual will have the train of thought interrupted for the mindless task of moving the dog back into the lower screen with the stylus and the brain can learn to work despite some everday distractions. Very clever addition. Seems that this game is good for both the older and younger crowd and is very good overall.

Reviewed on 2007-06-07 Not all the hype This game is terrible because it requires the use of ones voice which Nintendo DS does work well with many times. I highly recommend Big Brain Academy instead becuase it requires no voice recognition, it is more challenging, and better games. Do not waste your money on this one.

Reviewed on 2007-06-06 Not worth the money... This game is nowhere near the quality of Brain Age and Big Brain Academy. The number of mini games is pretty limited. And they're not fun to play.

Reviewed on 2007-05-12 Great New Brain Game I love this game. I like Mind Quiz much better than Brain Age and Brain academy. I like the graphics on Mind Quiz. I find myself playing certain games just to help with stress. One thing that is troublesome is on the 2 games that you need to write in the answer, it has trouble reading the numbers. The voice game also has problems recognizing words. Other than that GREAT GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
