The Amazing Brain Train Review

When you think you have figured out the target audience for a game, it changes and gives you a completely different perspective. The Amazing Brain Train is one those Mac games. The title itself is a clever play on words. What first comes to mind is the children’s locomotive, operated by Professor Fizzwizzle (the very one in the platform game by the same name and many others), which moves the play along, and then you find it’s also training the brain with diverse and changing mind exercises.

The Amazing Brain Train has 15 different games, 3 modes of play and 32 trophies to unlock. The Quest mode fuels the train along on the board with your “brain power”. Test has 5 mini games, and Practice has 15 timed or untimed mini games. Each mini game will test your logic, memory, dexterity and patience.

Instructions are simple and given by animated, colorful characters. The first few levels are easy enough for young children to figure out, however don’t let it fool you, it quickly becomes more challenging and difficult to keep in the timeframe. Some of the mini games were the memorizing what is behind the barn door, untangling dogs on leashes, connecting the stars to form a constellation, and bringing animals to food without sliding off the board. Once you get comfortable in the games it makes a complete 90 degree turn and your time runs out or you forget what really was behind that door, but don’t get frustrated just keep going you will conquer the toughest of tests. If the timed tests are too much, just switch to the untimed games until you get the hang of things, and you’ll do a lot better later on.

The pros of this Mac game is that the Amazing Brain Train will test and push your limits of thinking. It has different kinds of mini games so you are not always doing the same kind of play each time. The cons may be you will feel silly playing a game with the beautifully done graphics of very cute, pre-school-like animals and characters. If you can get past the children’s artwork, Professor Fizzwizzle’s Amazing Brain Train is for those practicing and maintaining their mental wellness. It is great for all those brain fitness people who are looking for difficult mind games, other than crosswords or sudokus. Also it is for those who just like to play fun and educational games, but be ready to put your brain to work while traveling down the railroad of thinking.
