Brain Age 2
So has anyone else picked up this game? What do you think of it so far?
As for myself, I am enjoying it more-so than the first. I haven't unlocked many daily training games because you are limited to unlocking games on a day to day basis. I like the new voice recognition game of Paper, Rock, Scissors, although I wouldn't mind having the old Color one back. As for the new daily training games I have unlocked so far:
Sign Finder: Awesome. I love math games. This time you have to input the sign of either +, -, X, or / to finish the equation.
Piano Player: Very fun. Incorporating reading music along with playing the piano, although with only a stylus, is quite enjoyable.
Word Scramble: Think of those Jumble puzzles, with a bit more difficulty and the letters rotate in a counter clockwise fashion that sometimes messes me up.
Memory Sprint: Better than the Person Count in version 1 and fairly difficult, but I still seem to do well at it.
Change Maker: If you have ever worked retail and with money, this game is pretty easy. I like it because it helps teach people to count change back instead of relying on cash registers to tell you how much to give back.
Word Blend: can DIAF.
As always Sudoku: I can't get enough of it.

Maybe it's just me and how I can't complete one to save my life, but I don't see what's so cool about it.
It's sort of like Memory but for adults. (as opposed to 5 year olds)
Hey, Memory is the best game ever! Although Risk is pretty good.
As for multi-player, I haven't played the multi-player for Brain Age 1, so I really can't compare, however I was able to get some multi-player action for Brain Age 2 at PAX. You only need one person with the game and you can have up to 15 other people playing with you after they download the software. From what I've seen, we can do multi-player Word Scramble, Money Changer, and a drawing game. The drawing game is awesome. Basically the games tells you to draw a few pictures and at the end all the players vote on the best picture. Some of the pictures that other people created were awesome. I remember one of the categories was to draw Tokyo. The only thing I could think of was drawing Tokyo tower and that was it. My friends drew wither Godzilla destroying buildings or a city with Mount Fiji in the background. The game can get pretty silly. So far I'm enjoying the game as much as I enjoyed the first one.
