Mind Quiz Your Brain Coach Reviews
In Brain Age, you get a letter grade; it made me (and my entire family) feel stupidit's ridiculously hard to get that A+. The speech and number-writing recognition is a little behind Nintendo, but overall Mind Quiz is a much more satisfying game to play. Talk about a confidence booster. You get a lot more statistics with Mind Quiz: brain alertness and mind activation.
With Brain Age, my mother, who is 52, gave up because she couldn't get better than a B, but Mind Quiz tells her she has the brain of a 39-year old. It recommends mini-games for you to play based on how well you do the assessment tests. Two thumbs up. The main difference between that Mind Quiz and Brain Age is the "grading" system.
But in Mind Quiz, you get a number, and all the grading is based on how old you are.
Different volumes and different tones of voice were used and we tried doing so at different distances from the microphone. The game does not read handwriting very well and often mistakes a "6" for a "0", et cetera. Now, the game commands the player to SAY THE NAME OF THE FRUIT (as opposed to saying the word that can be read underneath). The dog must not be permitted to move into the upper screen. In general, this is a pretty good game. For instance, while performing a puzzle, the player must remember to keep an eye on the left hand side of the screen to watch for the dog that is running up the side.
Nevertheless, this is still a good "brain sharpening" tool that can be entertaining as well. .
It appears that games that require one to use voice commands leave a bit to be desired. Nevertheless, there are a few caveats. The concept of having several games is definitely appealing and the explanations that go along with the brain age and brain stress degree are well written and informative. Very clever addition. There should also be a touch numerical keypad for games that require insertion of a number. Nevertheless, the game is rather poor in this regard because despite very clearly enunciating "apple" multiple times, the game never recognized it. Something else that is appealing is having to think about two things at once.
Obviously, this is a little "trick" designed to get the player to say what is seen without the distraction of the written word - not difficult but a sharpening tool. Despite speaking clearly and distinctly, the game still often does not recognize answers - Case in point, one of the games has the player look at a picture of an apple (for example) with the word "banana" written underneath. Thus, the individual will have the train of thought interrupted for the mindless task of moving the dog back into the lower screen with the stylus and the brain can learn to work despite some everday distractions. Seems that this game is good for both the older and younger crowd and is very good overall.
Do not waste your money on this one. This game is terrible because it requires the use of ones voice which Nintendo DS does work well with many times. I highly recommend Big Brain Academy instead becuase it requires no voice recognition, it is more challenging, and better games.
And they're not fun to play. The number of mini games is pretty limited. This game is nowhere near the quality of Brain Age and Big Brain Academy.
I find myself playing certain games just to help with stress. I like Mind Quiz much better than Brain Age and Brain academy. One thing that is troublesome is on the 2 games that you need to write in the answer, it has trouble reading the numbers. I love this game. The voice game also has problems recognizing words. I like the graphics on Mind Quiz. Other than that GREAT GAME.
