A rip-off of the 'Brain Age' games for the DS.

User Rating: 6 | Brain Challenge X360
When I first started playing 'Brain Challenge' I liked it quite a bit. It was a fun game and I liked to see my brain 'level-up' in the game and was addicting. After awhile, however, the game got repetitive and boring. There just isn't enough challenges here and the ones that are could use more variety and fun. This is one of those games that you try the demo out and think it's pretty fun, puchase it, play it for a little while, and then realize you don't really want to play it anymore. Unfortunately for your wallet, it will be $10 lighter because of that mistake.

That's not to say this game is all bad. It is fun for awhile, like I mentioned, and it looks good for an XBLA game. It really doesn't go anything great in terms of presentation, but it's not an ugly or crappy sounding game either. The multi-player in the game is pretty lame, however. And if you can't get into the single player game, then don't expect to have much fun playing over Xbox Live either. This is a tough call on what to recommend. I would say to give the demo a try, but it really doesn't show you how much you will like it down the road or if you will get sick of it after a short amount of time. I can't recommend this for a purchase at all, but it can't hurt to check out the trial as long as you keep in mind you might not feel the same way after playing the game for 8-10 hrs.
