Train Your Brain With Dr. Kawashima Train Your Brain With Dr. Kawashima is a brain-exercising game meant for all ages. Dr. Kawashima guides the players with 30 specifically designed and scientifically tested exercises. Along with the goal of the games, he explains how the brain will be activated and developed by the training.

Players can create a profile for each member of the family so each player can train his brain individually. Each exercise has an adaptive difficulty level and the game keeps track of the overall progress to alter the exercises accordingly. It also contains an online multiplayer mode where up to six friends can play together online or take part in an online competition. Communication between players is provided through animated picture messages.

After the daily training has been finished, players can choose to solve a few sudoku puzzles or the puzzle game Brainstorm. The Sudokus were created by Nikoli, the inventor of the concept. [source:mobygames]
