Brain Age 2© is the fun and educational way to exercise your brain! Now parents can by the system and the game in a bundle, to avoid gadget-related confusion.

What is Brain Age 2 Bundle?

You may have seen the ads that offer a game that actually improves your brain function by exercising your mind. It looks like fun, but some gift buyers are confused when they search for the product, when they realize the game is designed for a certain kind of device. Now, you can buy the device and the game as a special bundle.

The Game

Can you really exercise your brain by playing a game? We'll leave the debate up to scientists. The bottom line is that it certainly can't hurt, when the game involves solving quick fire logic and math problems. No doubt about it, Brain Age 2 © offers an entertaining learning experience and fun for the entire family.

How Does It Work?

The system comes with a touch screen that allows users to write their answers with a Stylus pen, much like the device you use with a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). But the Nintendo DS also comes with voice recognition technology, so Brain Age can identify particular words you'll speak during some of the games.

The first time you play Brain Age, you take a series of tests that result in a beginning score or “brain age.” The idea is to lower your score and your age. Brain Age tracks your progress for you. It really is a great idea!

Bottom Line

This product provides fun for the whole family. The added bonus is that it's good for your brain! Sometimes learning really can be fun.
