Left Brain Right Brain for Nintendo DSNovember 2, 2008 We are all having a great time with this game. Shipping was fast. Thank you very much!
Improve Fine Motor Control, Speed, and Coordination of HandsSeptember 17, 2008 Are you a man or a monkey? Monkey's only use one hand. People use two hands. If you want to improve your "weak" hand and have fun doing it, this game is awesome. It's also great if you just want to have fun doing something different.
This game has a wide variety of small / fast games. Each one works on fine motor control of your hand: speed, accuracy, and fine movements. The expectation is that you will do the games with your weak hand (e.g., left for most people) more often than your strong hand (e.g., right for most people). If you tend toward "monkey", a few of the games can be frustrating when performed with your weaker hand.
Here are some of the games: - quickly draw a line to connect three or more dots - quickly and accurately press a "note" that lights up, to play a song. Some musical training helps make this one fun. - accurately press the green square that lights up - an arcade style game of hit-the-mole - scratch the grey surface off of a hidden word (like a "what have I won" ticket) - guide a ball through a maze without hitting the walls. The games are about 15 seconds to 50 seconds long, with most games being around 30 seconds.
Fun, fast, and entertaining. So, what are the advantages of strengthening your weak hand? Well, if you have any sort of repetative injury, you can take a lot of stress off of your dominant hand by performing more tasks with your weak hand. For example, my right hand would hurt when I used the mouse too much; by moving the mouse to my left hand, I avoided wrist pains and serious complications. That was tricky for the first week, and this game would certainly have made my life easer.

you get annoyed pretty quicklyAugust 4, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was excited about this game but I got dissapointed just as fast. It is all about training your left side of the brain (for right handed people...for left handed the other way around) by letting you you use your "bad" hand. I got annnoyed very quickly. I love all the other brain games but this one is too tedious.
Too Much TroubleJuly 13, 2008 I thought this game would be good because I enjoy Brain Age 2 and other learning games. This one though requires you to turn the nintendo ds around over and over again during a game. It is not worth the trouble.

I would give my right arm to be ambidextrous. At least they are doing something that can actually improve themselves . We have most of the educational games and this is one of the most useful. If only you could get an attachment to allow you to drive a monitor or a TV from the card, then your eyes would be allowed to focus at different lengths.
