 This has worked for me! And it's fun, too! December 12, 2008

My kids have "Brain Age" for their DS's, but I'm over 50 and can harldy see that little screen. So I bought "Brain Spa" for me. I've been playing it for six months now, and this is an incredible program. Other reviews have mentioned the different types of puzzles offered, so I'll skip that list and just emphasize that each puzzle is different and exercises different parts of your brain. I really like the little blurb after each one which explains just what brain part you just exercised, and why that's important, especially as you get older. (ahem)
In addition, I'd like to emphasize that some brain games give you the same kind of puzzles you saw on an SAT test. Brain Spa, on the other hand, works your brain in a very entertaining non-IQ-test manner.
You are only "competing" against yourself, and if I've been "away" for a week, I'm chagrined to find my scores dipping. The proof, for myself, that this program really helps limber my brain, is in the word game "Scrabble". I play against the computer in the CDROM version, and for years we've been evenly matched at the third level. Then I started playing "Brain Spa". Now, I routinely beat the computer by 100+ points at the same level. The hardest game for me on "Brain Spa" is the one with math, my lowest scores of all of them. Yet, if I play it consistently, I can see my scores inching up. I highly recommend this game. For real benefits, though, to see improvement rather than staying the same, you may, like me, need to play it at least every other day. In other words, I think of "Brain Spa" as part of my exercise regimen, just like getting on the stairmaster. My only criticism is that it is not available for the MAC. Hello out there - I have several more people I'd give this to as gifts if it were available for the MAC!
Fun for families... July 19, 2008

I think Brain Spa would be even better for an entire household. Keeping high scores and names of players, the game encourages you to get better at math, logic, and memory. You could get a little competition going at home. Great for getting children more involved with their studies and keeping adults sharp.
Great fun for a brain game! 1 hour Demo at Legacygames com July 6, 2008

Seeing the past reviews had me curious, so did a check for more reviews & info & found their site: Legacygames com (Ubisoft also helped make it) I love it! I tried the game "Brain Booster" but didn't like it at all. I bought "Mind Quiz" which is ok, but boring. This & Brain Challenge are my favorites & happy.
This one has:
Main area is divided up into buildings in a town from an aerial view.
Logic/Calculation: "Gray Matter Market" - find the 2-4 items w/price tag that add up to each total.
Perception/ID: "Cotex Cleaners" - match the picture of the article of clothing to the circulating articles of clothing.
Logic/Relational: "Cranial Candies" - put the colored candy pieces in the box so they create a pattern with like colors touching.
Memory/Visual: "Dendrite Diner" - remember the pictures of what the customers order & serve them (so far seen over 8 at a time)
Language/Categories: "Neuron Newstand" - match 3 of the newspaper/magazine headings to their common theme. (Had up to 15 at a time so far)
There are at least three more buildings that are "under construction" because I haven't unlocked in the 30 min I played. Everything is timed of course & there are daily tests as well as obviously graphs to show your progress. The animation is colorful, bright & positive. The instructions & in-game responses are given both in speech (nice acting) & typed text.
The power plant holds the daily test of different categories & the Town Hall holds the high scores (I see 13 different high scores). From what I can tell, if you score high enough, you get keys in every area & then can challenge the mayor.
Computer:
I have a 2.4 core2duo Intel, 1 gig RAM, Home Premium Vista & had no problems with the demo & the game cd.
Brain Spa Delivers May 26, 2008

I am an older lady who began having memory problems, but I was determined to keep my mind in shape. Initially, I wasn't sure Brain Spa was what I wanted. I couldn't visualize the idea of a town being the basis for brain therapy, but since Brain Spa arrived, I have enjoyed it tremendously. It does NOT make you feel like a 5th grader. The games are not hokey. In fact, each "business" is a challenge and I am improving daily. There are many extras that you earn as you improve. Scores are kept track of and even plotted on a graph. Brain Spa is a wonderful therapy tool. And it works!
