Body and Brain Connection
SCORE: 84
Body and Brain Connection is a title that has been on our list to purchase and review for some time now. This Family Friendly Gaming #42 front cover video game is part mental exercise, and part physical activity. For me it is a bit too much of the mental exercises in this Xbox 360 Kinect title. Dr. Kawashima is the brain behind Body and Brain Connection. That name should ring a few bells. Some Brain Age bells.
Graphically Body and Brain Connection has a soft look to it. There are all kinds of educational images in Body and Brain Connection. Family members will have to be quick on their feet with this home console game. The entire body is needed play certain mini games in Body and Brain Connection. This Kinect game will grade family members on their performance. This can be a humbling experience at times.
Body and Brain Connection is generally encouraging to families. I did feel less than intelligent on a few occasions thanks to a poor performance. Body and Brain Connection encouraged me to practice and get better. The educational value of Body and Brain Connection is one of the major selling points for this product.
There are enough mini games in Body and Brain Connection to keep family members engaged for a few weeks at a minimum. I purchased Body and Brain Connection with my own money. I feel like I got my moneys worth thanks to this review. If I was not doing this review, then I would have a different opinion. The main reason for that is I was expecting more physical exercise from this Xbox 360 game.
Body and Brain Connection can be difficult. The grading scale in this Kinect game is extreme. One mistake and I did not get a very good score. I wish Body and Brain Connection was a little nicer in this regard. I had fun with many of the mini games in Body and Brain Connection.
I like the
concept of learning and exercising at the same time. It is like jogging
and talking to God at the same time. Some ideas mix really well.
Unfortunately for Body and Brain Connection it is too heavy on the brain
side. With that said, there is great learning opportunities in Body and
Brain Connection. I would like to see a sequel.
