Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Seeing the past reviews had me curious, so did a check for more reviews & info. I love it! I tried the game "Brain Booster" but didn't like it at all. I bought "Mind Quiz" which is ok, but boring. This & Brain Challenge are my favorites & happy.
This one has:
Main area is divided up into buildings in a town from an aerial view.
Logic/Calculation: "Gray Matter Market" - find the 2-4 items w/price tag that add up to $ total.
Perception/ID: "Cotex Cleaners" - match the picture of the article of clothing to the circulating articles of clothing.
Logic/Relational: "Cranial Candies" - put the colored candy pieces in the box so they create a pattern with like colors touching.
Memory/Visual: "Dendrite Diner" - remember the pictures of what the customers order & serve them (so far seen over 8 at a time)
Language/Categories: "Neuron Newstand" - match 3 of the newspaper/magazine headings to their common theme. (Had up to 15 at a time so far)
Perception/Comparison: "Frontal Lob Factory" - decide if the 3 toys on the conveyor belt match the picture, reject/accept them. (seen 2 rows so far)
There are at least three more buildings that are "under construction" because I haven't unlocked in the 30 min I played. Everything is timed of course & there are daily tests as well as obviously graphs to show your progress. The animation is colorful, bright & positive. The instructions & in-game responses are given both in speech (nice acting) & typed text.
The power plant holds the daily test of different categories & the Town Hall holds the high scores (I see 13 different high scores). From what I can tell, if you score high enough, you get keys in every area & then can challenge the mayor.
Computer:
I have a 2.4 core2duo Intel, 1 gig RAM, Home Premium Vista & had no problems with the demo & the game cd.
legacygames com - 1 hour free demo & also 7 free online flash games: match color candy, newsstand, market, lab factory/toys, cleaners, spelling & auditory memory (simon using classic music).
6/2009 - I forgot to mention that as you play, it automatically gets more challenging or easier depending on the score of the previous game.
Also, unlike many new games, this one thankfully does not have a limit in installs & after filling my HDD & having to replace/mirror it, it worked beautifully including the save file.
11/2009 - The characters give you cute comments about having not seen you in a while & feel bad for you if you don't do you best, always cheerful & sure you'll do better. They are ecstatic if you do well or a new high score, almost surprised any human can do so well! ;-) I have never gotten annoyed by any repetitious acting lines which is a welcome surprise.
2/2010 - On the box, in very small print near the requirements, it says, "contains technology to prevent copying & that may conflict with some disc & virtual drives" It's not Securom or Starfoce though, nor did I have to enter a key & you don't need the disc to play once it's installed.
