PSP Brain Trainer Portable 2 - New Import
NCS Game Synopsis
«©NCSX» Just as a muscle tends to atrophy due to lack of use, the brain becomes dull when unchallenged by stimulation. To prevent the population growth of dim-witted dullards, Sega's second Brain Trainer software features 50 thinking exercises which engage and jolt brains into fighting shape. Similar to the original Brain Trainer software, Professor Ryuuta Kawashima from Tohoku University provides the design pointers and testing methodology with which to test one's brain.

   Upon booting the software, users are prompted with three menu selections for (1) Registering a new test-taker, (2) Resuming a saved account, and (3) Engaging another player in ad-hoc testing battle. Up to four players may create a data file to store personal information such as name, date of birth, and sex to keep track of their testing results and any improvements as exercises are conquered over the course of days, weeks, and months.

   At the outset of the Brain Trainer Portable 2, a quick examination is given to determine the player's brain age in order to set up a baseline. The optimum brain age is 20 years old. Once the baseline is established, a series of drills and exercises may be played to improve one's calculation, judgment, memory, and reflection skills. For example, if your brain age is 50 but you're only 25 years old, the testing may drop your brain age to something that's closer to your chronological age. 

Exercises featured in Brain Trainer 2 Portable include:
» Perform calculations with three figures. For example 1 + 2 + 5 = ?
» Determine the sum of colored numbers that are mixed with other numbers
» Play rocks-scissors-paper by pressing TRIANGLE, O, or X.
» Arrange jumbled pictures so that they're whole once again
» Stare at a splayed out die and figure out the missing face
» Look at shape patterns and fill in the missing pattern sequence
» A face appears. It appears again. What's missing in the second showing?
» Four objects are shown in a square. Memorize them and their positions
» ...and many more
