Better, but still some fundamental problems - By: Ross Whiteford, 26 Jul 2008 
This Brain Training game was a lot better than the prequel however the character recognition was still poor. The best game by far has to be masterpiece recital where you must tap the correct keysin time with the music. This installment is the only thing that keeps me playing the game. Still a great game before you unlock everything & get bored with it.
More Brain Training - By: , 26 Jul 2008 More Brain traing is probably more suited to adults. Its better than the first one & its still fun even if you are a kid but really its better if your 8 or above. For children I would recomend Big Brain academy instead. Also adults will like that. I do like this game though because it has a big veriaty of activities & is very clear.
Making Brain Training more fun - By: APJ, 05 Jul 2008 Other reviews can tell you about all the featuresin this game, so I'll try to keep it short.
The training programs are more varied & enjoyable than the previous game's. Some of the challenges include unscrambling words, remembering numbers & even playing a musical piece. However, I did find a couple of the games tedious. There are also again plenty of free or assisted Sudoku puzzles & a hidden mini-game which is quite addictive.
One of the big irritations from the previous game remains - poor handwriting recognition. As well as numbers, you will have to write symbols & letters, which the game may often fail to understand! Voice recognition is also a bit unreliable on the Rock, Paper, Scissors game.
All the training programs can be unlockedin only about 2 weeks of daily playing, so you may not have much motivation to keep training afterwards. I suppose though players might also give up if they were not rewarded so regularly! You may also get irritated by Dr Kawashima with his reptitive comments after every session, Some are even the same asin the first game.
If you enjoyed the first Brain Training game, you should like this one too! If you don't have either, I would recommend buying both games. Whilst I think overall the second is better, I prefer the warm-up games & Brain Age testsin the previous.
Frustrating fun - By: Ms. C. A. L. Turner, 06 Apr 2008 
This was the first game I bought for my DS, after seeing the ads & half-believing the hype. It explained how to use the game clearly, without talking down to you & making you feel like a small child. I must point out that it is only suitable for 20+ year old, despite the classification on the front. This is because it helps to train faculties that only start to decline at 20. It was engaging, had a good variety of tasks, & was different enough each day that I wanted to use it each day. If you're thinking that it sounds too good to be true, I do have one criticism. If you said other things during rock, paper, scissors or weren't careful when drawing with the stylus, you got a lot of erroneous wrong answer picked up. I know this works, as I imporved my scores vastly.
Well.. - By: Undercover-Angel, 31 Mar 2008 I got this one for christmas, & by about january the 5th i'd lost intrest!
My handwriting is unique an easy to read from the human eye, but my DS thinks it's some random junk!
You also have to shout at it .. ROCK PAPER SCISSORS.
My mum was upstairs ironing & shouted down the stairs whilst i was doing rock paper scissors & it picked up my mums voice & not mine!
Overall this games ok.. but not the best
