Fun for families... July 19, 2008

I think Brain Spa would be even better for an entire household. Keeping high scores and names of players, the game encourages you to get better at math, logic, and memory. You could get a little competition going at home. Great for getting children more involved with their studies and keeping adults sharp.

Great fun for a brain game! 1 hour Demo at Legacygames com July 6, 2008

Seeing the past reviews had me curious, so did a check for more reviews & info & found their site: Legacygames com (Ubisoft also helped make it) I love it! I tried the game "Brain Booster" but didn't like it at all. I bought "Mind Quiz" which is ok, but boring. This & Brain Challenge are my favorites & happy.
This one has:
Main area is divided up into buildings in a town from an aerial view.
Logic/Calculation: "Gray Matter Market" - find the 2-4 items w/price tag that add up to each total.
Perception/ID: "Cotex Cleaners" - match the picture of the article of clothing to the circulating articles of clothing.
Logic/Relational: "Cranial Candies" - put the colored candy pieces in the box so they create a pattern with like colors touching.
Memory/Visual: "Dendrite Diner" - remember the pictures of what the customers order & serve them (so far seen over 8 at a time)
Language/Categories: "Neuron Newstand" - match 3 of the newspaper/magazine headings to their common theme. (Had up to 15 at a time so far)
There are at least three more buildings that are "under construction" because I haven't unlocked in the 30 min I played. Everything is timed of course & there are daily tests as well as obviously graphs to show your progress. The animation is colorful, bright & positive. The instructions & in-game responses are given both in speech (nice acting) & typed text.
The power plant holds the daily test of different categories & the Town Hall holds the high scores (I see 13 different high scores). From what I can tell, if you score high enough, you get keys in every area & then can challenge the mayor.

Computer:
I have a 2.4 core2duo Intel, 1 gig RAM, Home Premium Vista & had no problems with the demo & the game cd.

Brain Spa Delivers May 26, 2008

I am an older lady who began having memory problems, but I was determined to keep my mind in shape. Initially, I wasn't sure Brain Spa was what I wanted. I couldn't visualize the idea of a town being the basis for brain therapy, but since Brain Spa arrived, I have enjoyed it tremendously. It does NOT make you feel like a 5th grader. The games are not hokey. In fact, each "business" is a challenge and I am improving daily. There are many extras that you earn as you improve. Scores are kept track of and even plotted on a graph. Brain Spa is a wonderful therapy tool. And it works!

a useful tool for keeping my brain function in good order particularly after having 3 tumor surgeries. a right engaging game for a 50 year old with limited attention span.

Very Disappointed January 18, 2008

I became interested in improving my brain function now that I'm getting a bit older and this looked like a fun way to get started. Even when I installed it, it looks like a lot of fun. The problem is that the directional hand you use to make your choices gets stuck all the time. My computer is only a year old so I don't think it's a computer problem. I think it's probably a glitch in the game. Since it's opened product now, there is no returns. I guess I'll see if I can do all the exercises that don't require a time limit to check your skill level!
