Advantages: Keeps track of how you are doing
Disadvantages: Could get boring after a couple of weeks

...programme, Head Count and Time Lapse. The head count exercise will offer you the option of easy or hard. Let me tell you, the hard one is very very hard. It is virtually impossible to keep up. Each exercise will offer a high score or best time option. It will only record your first score, so no matter how many times a day you play it you can not keep improving your score. WHAT ELSE DOES IT OFFER: Once you have completed all the tasks for one day you can put a stamp on the date,so you can keep track of how you are doing.

...I think by now, with the mainstream advertising campaign and word of mouth, everyone must have heard of this by now but does it really help your brain? I got this game back in August last year and used it every day, my brain age started off badly and gradually improved and I really sped up on the different tasks and training programmes, then I got side tracked by other things (Zelda included) and I forgot about this game. Recently I started using it again and I was quite surprised that I when I started again my scores and times on the training had dropped dramatically and my Brain Age was considerably worse. One of the training games consists of 20 calculations to do in your head, back when I had been using this every day I set a record of 22 seconds for this. Going back to it recently my time was a dismal 1m 45s and I had got... Read review
