Yes… he really is THAT annoying. The mini-games are very repetitive. They have maybe 3 or 4 forms for each “category”. The only things that change are the numberslayout. I bought this game for my 7 year old and his general evaluation was “That guy is annoying… can I have a popsicle?”. LOL

It is what it says it is, a brain game. The “tests” have a lot of variety and if you are looking for a game like this I would recommend it. The only thing I dislike about it is you can’t by pass all the “you did great” messages. Once you finish a set, you have to click through a bunch of screens that you have seen after every other set.

I asked the Grandparents to buy this for my 8 yr old. We’ve only played it a few times. I can see how the games could be fun and beneficial. Overall, we really dislike the game. It’s annoying because there’s a lot of time wasted waiting for the game character to make some haughty or rude comment. I’ve yet to see any worth reading. If a teacher treated kids this way- they’d be fired. My daughter cringes when the character comes on the screen. Even in the practice mode, the screen character could make a crack about how she must be half asleep. After a game, it can make comments about how the other team members must be disappointed in her. There are gentler ways to criticize. How about just “That wasn’t very good, but just keep trying- you’ll do better next time.”? I wish there was a way to turn off the comments- then we’d all enjoy the games much more. In summary, if you enjoy haughty comments and don’t mind verbal abuse- this is a good game.

We have had so much fun with this game. We are both over 50, and have no children. When we have company we play this with them and have a great time. My husband has been having memory problems and the doctor said he should play memory games to keep his brain active, this is just what he needed, working his brian and having fun doing it! Love this game!
