Tonight I took my first challenge of the game ‘Math's Training' on the Nintendo DS Lite. I have been curious about this game and its potential to enhance Numeric skills. My first impressions are that it is 'mediocre'. I am not entirely sure that it is any better than any of the other 'Brain' games currently available for the DS. It quite obviously has the potential to enhance one's mental arithmetic. However:
- It doesn't appear to gauge the current ability of the player as well as a game like ‘My Word Coach' for example.
- It keeps thinking that my written ‘8' is a ‘2', my ‘7' is a ‘1' (it won't give me time to put a score through the ‘7'- first game where my writing has proved to be problematic)- I consider myself to have pretty good hand writing, but possibly not when under pressure.
- It has a really annoying repetitive tune (and I have never said that about any game before- I am getting old!).
