Even with the odd original game in the mix, these still aren't the type of things you want to do everyday - especially with the lame scoring system.

Brain Assist is a decent take on the genre, and while it doesn't stand out as a major accomplishment, it is just different enough to make it fun.

Today, with so many able competitors on the market, we just can't recommend sparse, shallow collections with slow load times and GBA-level visuals. Whether you're looking to train your brain or just play some minigames, there are simply better options out there than Brain Assist.

Used to have this as part of my 'launch package' for my DSi as it be.
Okay this may be stupid but hear me out, I remember playing it much more than the other carts I got that were much worse than this at being enjoyable. After replaying it with my original cart nowadays to compare I totally get why, the adrenaline you get from getting high scores in these 'minigames' are very rewarding. Evil 'nurse' time! (That is what the guiding characters are called) Simple yet challenging and overall just fine.

If you've played Brain Training and Big Brain Academy to death and need something else of their ilk to get you through the day, Brain Assist will do the job. If you haven't played the aforementioned titles, though, or if you simply just don't care about the genre that much, then you can safely skip this one, and no one will blame you.

Ten games for 20 quid is a bit steep and in the end, without the lure of a proper scientific brain age hook, it's all a bit 'so what.' [Issue#22, p.86]

Overall, Brain Assist is a pretty novel game idea, but 10 mini-games are just not enough to make a game experience feel complete.

Brain Assist is mildly entertaining, but I'm not feeling any more clever for having played it.

A charming and competent brain testing game on the surface. But with only ten mini-games and a dubious method of testing your intelligence, Brain Assist doesn't do anything to better its many rivals.

On the plus side, there is single-card download play for wireless "fun" with up to four players. On the down side, if we really want to tell up to four friends that we despise them and never wish to suffer their company ever again, we can think of more direct ways to do so.
