I have had this game going on 2 months now. The game provides all sorts of levels of challenge. The games are engaging and more evolved than Brain Age, which I also own. My 9-year old plays this game regularly and enjoys it as well! I have had no issues with the input recognition on this game.

I have all 3 Brain age games, and those games mostly depend on learning to play the game. You don't actually 'increase your brain age', you simply improve your interface-use skill due to learned reflexes ~ coupled with getting a lucky mix-up the game gives you once in a while.
In comparison, this game provides more of the traditional kind of puzzles, the kind used in IQ tests - such as discerning shapes, mathematical logic questions, number sequences, logical riddles.. etc. I enjoy these much better than the limited number of silly games that brain age series come with.
This game does have an inferior interface. Having to click a tiny button to read instructions over and over again, the 'host's conversation not being as well written (compared to brain age series), and a brain level-up system that is more comprehensive yet less intuitive than brain age.
In comparison, the content is simply superior if you're looking for something that deals with intelligence, rather than just mini-games. The handwriting recognition is also better (for me) than brain age.
Amazing how a single bad review can ruin a game. At the time of my writing, the above 1-star review has 67/67 helpful votes and is bashing the game in every aspect. Um, all I can say is that this person must be either from a rival company or is a disgruntled employee. While certain persons will prefer the nintendo-branded games, I believe this will also appeal to its own crowd.
Take my review with a grain of salt, since I've been quite bored by the brain age series ~ that may be the reason why I have a high perception this game.

This game is a piece of junk, if I could give it 0 stars or negative stars, I would. It is a very bad sign that in a game designed to "improve" your intelligence, words are misspelled and the grammar is atrocious. The handwriting recognition is worse than on any other DS game, I have had no issues with any other DS game with handwriting recognition, but I could not get this game to recognize "5" or "9" or "6", they all get interpreted as "8". The system has a "riddle" feature. It gives you a riddle, and then gives you the answer. You have to solve it on your own. No interactivity. You could get this from a book. This game is both poorly conceived and poorly implemented, its designers should be ashamed. Please do not waste your money on this game, ANY other game such as Brain Age, Brain age 2, Big Brain Academy would be better. DO NOT BUY!
