    Another great instalment of this serie. This time it has a lot of improved features, it's more beautiful, fully voiced, has more interesting lectures and more challenging puzzles specially for the young people. The only step back that I would say is that the number of time one can play each puzzle is too restrict (5 min/day) and there's no way to play again, besides that it is a great gameAnother great instalment of this serie.

    Llega nuevamente la serie de entrenamiento cerebral de Nintendo, "Brian Age: Concentration Training" introduce nuevas actividades para mantenernos despiertos mentalmente, esta vez más centrado en mejorar nuestra capacidad de retención de información e imágenes.

    Utilizando operaciones matemáticas y juegos de memoria extremos con los que tendremos que practicar cada día para desbloquear toda la colección de actividades. En ésta entrega se mejora mucho el reconocimiento de lectura de la pantalla táctil, ésta vez es ínfima la situación en que el juego confunda los números, por lo que la experiencia es la mejor de la serie.
    "Brain Age: Concentration Training" no es para todo el mundo, porque a priori no es un juego clásico de consola, se puede llegar a sentir como una tarea pero son esfuerzos que valen la pena hacer. Uno de los por menores es que ésta vez cumplir con la rutina diaria requiere una buena cantidad de minutos, así que se hace difícil programar el entrenamiento pero no puedo no recomendarlo si te interesan éste tipo de prácticas.    … Expand

    Brilliant game, very intuitive, and very hard at higher levels. Once you get past the devilish calculations, it is very enjoyable. This was my first foray into the Brain Age series so I can't compare it to other iterations. Well worth the money.

    This game is quite a new turn in the Brain Age series. First of all, Dr. Kawashima TALKS, and best of all, he becomes SATAN, a two-in-one DEAL! Joking aside, there are some pretty upset fans over the "bizarre design choices" the developers made over its gameplay. I will only repeat this once more, as I did in my review of Brain Age 2: HE'S A DOCTOR. He is helping the brain in newsThis game is quite a new turn in the Brain Age series. First of all, Dr. Kawashima TALKS, and best of all, he becomes SATAN, a two-in-one DEAL! Joking aside, there are some pretty upset fans over the "bizarre design choices" the developers made over its gameplay. I will only repeat this once more, as I did in my review of Brain Age 2: HE'S A DOCTOR. He is helping the brain in news ways, completely different to original gameplay in the series, yes, but it can be both fun and innovative. The effects of the game DO pay off, and watching those graphs rise gives me thrills. Not all of the gameplay from the original games have been abolished at all. There are still many many exercises from the previous titles and even new ones as well aside from Devilish Training. I will say this though: If this is Brain Age, why did Nintendo remove the Brain Age Check?… Expand

    This game isn’t pretty good. However, I don’t appreciate how they rub your score in your face all the time. Like I have an F in the devilish training mode, and my character avatar is labeled with an F.
    That’s not very supportive!!
    They shouldn’t label you like that. Other than that the training is fun, but that’s a major flaw, and it could potentially bring some people down. I would    This game isn’t pretty good.

    They shouldn’t label you like that. Other than that the training is fun, but that’s a major flaw, and it could potentially bring some people down. I would give the game a much higher rating like an eight to even a ten. However, this is a major flaw. Hopefully, I will improve my score to get an A, but it’s annoying to see the game rub the score in my face all the time.    … Expand

    The whole concept of the game sounds really interesting, but the game itself isn't good. You can't do the same math task more than 1 time per day, which is mindblowing. You get a game, but the game decides when you can play it? What's the sense in that? And playing this game WON'T help you concentrate better, all it'll do is help you get better at it.

    Dr Kawashima's Devilish Brain Training does everything it sets out to do, but it doesn't try to be particularly ambitious. If you've played previous Brain Training games before, you know exactly what you're getting into, but it's not an experience for everybody.

    It does its job well, but it lacks Brain Training's focus and accessibility, making it a difficult recommendation compared to the past iterations.
