Too much emphasis on speed but not enough on accuracy by J. You

I agree with the other reviewers that the games themselves are fun and challenging. There's one big flaw in the program though, and it's with the scoring system. Specifically, there doesn't seem to be much (if any) penalty for providing wrong answers. In essence what this does is puts a mammoth emphasis on being quick, while relegating accuracy to a byproduct. In other words, you're better off guessing versus spending more than a second to think of the right answer. Here's a concrete example. There's a memorization and matching game called, "Remember Me?", where the player is given a minute and thirty seconds to re-associate as many faces to their respective names as possible. The results of 3 test runs are as follows: * In a run involving zero guesses and where I took my time to actually process and memorize the information, I scored an 80% or "Good" mark (17 correct answers, 0 wrong answers, 100% accuracy) * In a run where I guessed 75% of the time, I scored a 100% or "Perfect" mark (28 correct answers, 25 wrong answers, 53% accuracy) * In a run where I just chose a random answer (basically closed my eyes and clicked the mouse like mad), I scored a 92% or "Exceptional" mark (24 correct answers, 41 wrong answers, 36% accuracy) These kinds of results are not relegated to this one particular game, either. The best strategies to obtain the highest scores for every game in Brainiversity is either to just flat-out guess the answer or take a "best effort" approach where it's far more important to be really quick than accurate. Also, there is no option to change how your scores are weighted. Having said all of this though, Brainiversity can still be worthwhile to play IF you "don't cheat" and consciously make the effort to actually THINK about the problems presented to you. Still, because the penalty for a wrong answer is so insignificant, the in-game tracking of your progress won't be as accurate as it should be.

I enjoy this game daily. By the nature of the tests, my score moves up and down. But the trend is up and I enjoy using my brain. I try doing something else new, as well. Why stop at a computer game?

I love brain software. Brainiversity has become my favorite. This software is well made, fun designs, music and practice as every day tests. I recommend it! For old as for young people. Gloria O.

This is a great game however the challenges are easier than expected maybe is more directed to kids... well, it keeps you interested all the time. For the price I paid for it is just ok.

By far this is an excellent series of games. They are fun and can be challenging for people 5 to 95. My grandchildren enjoy it as does my 92 year old mother. But suprising, my wife and I are challenging each other to see who will get the most stamps and the highest score. It goes to show you - you don't have to spend a lot of money to be fully entertained.
