Dr Kawashima's Brain Training DS review!

Name: Dr Kawashima's Brain Training
Format: Nintendo DS or DS Lite
Company: Nintendo
Price: £20
Players: 1 or multiple via online wi-fi play

Dr Kawashima's Brain Training is a collection of brain taxing games which will entice and baffle you. It features maths quizzes, logic puzzles, and the new phenomenonally successful Sudoku puzzle game.

Graphically this game is very basic in style, but to be honest given the type of gameplay on offer it doesn't need fancy 3D graphics, just solid gameplay and that's what this game offers... It also makes excellent use of the Stylus pen and the DS microphone, with voice recognition and use of the Stylus pen and handwriting recognition to write your answers to the maths questions etc.

Overall, if you fancy something a bit different to endless streams of Mario themed platformers and licensed games, you might want to try Dr Kawashima's Brain Training, go on it's only 20 Quid! My only personal gripe with it is that I don't "get" Sudoku but that's just me.

Final rating: 85%
