Books for the brainless.

June 16th 2008 21:36
Brain games
Signature Tune



Apparently, there is a book called the Amazing Brain Train which continues the cartoon theme and music from other Professor Fizzwizzle-themed games, the level of detail is fairly high and the result is some pleasing visuals.


In terms of sound, each game comes with an average amount of effects: the game certainly is not as aurally chaotic as FizzBall, and the sporadic nature of the sound design does make The Amazing Brain Train seem more lifeless. The music is enjoyable, however, so overall the game does look and sound good enough for a casual title.

Most of the mini-games are unique and involve varied actions, like moving objects or selecting numbers. The game certainly does require thinking and your brain will be challenged. I found every one of the 15 games to be fun, at least until the third iteration of each puzzle set. Unlike Big Brain Academy, which focuses on both speed and difficulty, The Amazing Brain Train brings the pain early and often, even in the same set of levels. While the first couple of maps in each round are easy enough, after that the game gets very tough and you’ll be failing most of the later boards rather than just taking a long time with them. Some people will enjoy this level of challenge, but the more casual players that the game is designed for will get frustrated after they only score two or three correct responses in each set. Since The Amazing Brain Train lacks difficulty settings to only allow for easy or hard puzzles, you are stuck with what the developers feel is a good balance instead of what your level of expertise may be. The lack of features present in The Amazing Brain Train certainly hinders the overall experience and makes the game less enjoyable as a whole.

Sounds like it might get a few thought waves going.

What a vain bird you are, Raven. Hair? did you say hair? Your brains pushed it out, you need have no fear of these games, except the frogs, of course, one can be very repetitious in one's endeavours, fixated they call it, I should know. But then you get to use those brains and voila, you're as right as rain.

What barrels of fun do you have planned for us to-day? I've prior engagements for most of it.
