Product Description
Kinect sensor required to play - not included
In Dr. Kawashima's Body And Brain Exercises, players move their body to exercise their brain using the Xbox 360 Kinect device. Based on the research of the internationally renowned Dr Kawashima, the game invites players to follow a program of simple physical coordination exercises to improve their brain age. Multiplayer gameplay lets friends and family join in the series of fun, lively body exercises and compare their brain age scores.
- Follow Dr Kawashima's program for the first time on a home console - The famous Brain Training franchise will be available for the first time on Xbox 360
- Use Kinect to Exercice your brain and your body - The previous Dr Kawashima games only involved your brain. Using the Kinect Device, you become the controller. Your legs, hands and arms are your tools to give the right answers
- Concept by Dr. Kawashima - The previous Kawashima games were adapted from the Doctor's books. For this game it was actually his idea to involve the whole body to exercise the brain
- Enrol family and friends - Play with up to 4 players in rounds to see who is the best at maths, logic, memory, reflexes and physical exercises
- Follow your personal program to keep your Brain Age young and exercise your body - Along with improving your Brain Age, the physical exercises and personal programs created by experts in Training Mode can help you keep in shape

This game has great potential and certainly follows on well from the original DS version which was excellent. However the control system is a bit hit and miss, the software does not seem to utilise the Kinect properly as often you make a move which the games fails to respond to. At first I thought it might be me; I mean being overweight and well over 40 makes me an iffy choice for game reviewer, but the rest of the family seem to be having the same problem. A pity as this could of been a classic Kinect game.

This is my first ever review for anything, so please read on...
This to me is the game ever manufactured & i salute Dr Kawasima. Dot't get me wrong, the game has some minor faults; but it's enjoyable, creative & does exactly what it's say's.... It trains the brain!
6 months ago, I needed my brain to be trained more than most people. I suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) from a fall from 30ft. My family we're told that i may not survive, or if I did, chances are i'd be brain damaged due to my CAT scans. I spent 7 weeks in hospital & my doctor told me on my discharge meeting i was a 'medical miracle'. After my hospital stint, I was required to attend a Neurological rehab unit. I was in the rehab unit for 6 months and I honestly don't think I would've finished it that quickly without Dr Kawashima's help.
My main difficulty has been cognitive skills, such as memory, multi-tasking, logic & math... All of which this game tries to improve. And it does, very successfully!
I've used this game every week since February & it's been amazing to watch my brain age decrease by almost a decade every month. This game has helped me get my life back on track & my best score is currently 30, I won't stop until i get in the 20s. Even then I will continue to use his game on a regular basis.
For anyone looking to increase their mental capacity or have suffered a similar injury to me BUY THIS GAME NOW!! If it was £200 you wouldn't regret it, never mind at this ludicrous price!!

To be honest we didn't buy this off Amazon but that isn't really the point! Having enjoyed the original brain training on DS we thought that on Kinect it would take it to the next step, and to be honest there were new games that do in fact train your brain!
However I can't say I have found the experience a pleasant one. For a start, the red and blue hands that help you navigate are either too twitchy and over sensitive or dead to the world. I have often made like a windmill in front of the Kinect just to get some response but to no avail.
The games also suffer the polar opposites - either too twitchy, no response or invent movements you haven't done.
This game is disappointing. The problems mean you get frustrated early in the game and so wish to switch off.

Firstly, the Kinect detection on this game is unreliable to say the least. Read more
