Though fairly enjoyable, this is just not as good as brain training.

I like to give ratings to things. Not only games, also pictures, women and... myself.Like how smart am I, my gaming skills, looks :-p and of course my intelligence. In the time I owned a ds, I used to play Brain Training every day. Every day I wanted to see how bright I was, if I could improve my intelligence and clarity for the day, and once I reached brain age 20 for a couple of weeks, I played it less and less until I sold my ds. Now I wanted to test it again, and since I prefer my x360 above my Wii, I came to the XBLA game brain challenge.

Well, it sure is a challenge! When I played it first, I thought I did well. But oh no! I had only a brain capacity of 9%. What, only 9%?! I was shocked, I got depressed, lost my job, have marriage problems... Well, not quite all of that, it's just that this game is very, very harsh. If you're good at it, you can make it to a high C, a B or sometimes an A. Yesterday I got my first A+!
But, if you just make one mistake, you will score much lower, like a D. Very frustrating from time to time.

Some minor points: everytime you start a daily challenge, you get a question you need to answer. After the challenge, you get the answer. I already had 4 times the same question.
Also, the game sometimes makes mistakes about how often you do a test. I did the test everyday, and this morning, the (cute but harsh) nurse complained that I didn't visit her in a week?!

Apart from that, this is a reasonable fun game to play, and it presents itself pretty well. But after a few weeks, you won't be so challenged anymore.. NEXT!
