Brain age or big brain academy?

[lemmywinks]

As a stunning interlecjewel, I own both these games, and I think they're both pretty good. But what one do you think's the best?

First, I hope that's a joke. Second, I don't have either, and would like to see what you think of both.

yeah, hmm what is the fundamental difference between the 2? one has soduko the other doesnt? one has a more adult feel to the other?

[lemmywinks]

Oh yeah that was a joke, if it wasnt then I'd need to play the games more huh? I'll just post a list of the stuff I think is good and bad about the two.

Brain training:

Pros: It looks alot more grown up,
has alot of soduko,
thats it really.

Cons:
far less puzzles to do,
voice recognition is dodgy (some tests you speak into the mic, would of been good if it worked, too),
once you've reduced your brain age to 20 thats it. Unless you like Sudoku.
And Dr Kawishima's head is scary.


And in the blue corner...

Big brain academy

Pros:
Lots of puzzles to do,
Has a cool style to it,
tells you what parts of your training you need to focus on,
tells you who you have the brain of! (I got politician...)
And theres alot to do other than "weigh" your brain, more than brain training anyway.

Cons:
The childlike style might put you off,
Everytime you take the test, you get a completely different result! I do anyway.



To be fair, neither are brilliant and you might be better off buying a whole new game altogether. But if you're curious then go for it, these games seem to be cheaper than average anyway. But if you're gonna get one of them, I suggest Big Brain academy. Thats what I think anyway, but whichever one you choose, it'll make you make you smatter.
