My body may be 22 years old, but my brain's age is more than double that. This scientific conclusion comes courtesy of an overly smiley doctor and his blob-like sidekick. For the record, the exact figure is 54 which means I'd better get a refund on that English Literature degree.

Anyone who hasn't spent the past five years living in a cave with no access to media will know of Dr Kawashima.

Works well with Kinect technology; Potentially entertaining high-score battles

Lack of portability limits the appeal in comparison to the DS titles; Limited number of exercises may become stale fairly rapidly

I purchased this game after seeing tv adverts for it! on the adverts it looks really good. however it does not live up to the adverts. All it involves is basically just moving your arms slight degrees just to get the correct answers, yeah its alright at first but once you been on it, i found it...

I found it hard to understand the instructions to get started but once I understood it I found it fun but the movements seem to be slow on the pick up so I keep missing points as I move into the correct position but it takes a few seconds before it reacts.

It was only time before our good friend, Dr Kawashima from the excellent Nintendo DS game (Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training) would arrive on the XBox 360, more particularly on the Kinect, thanks to its intuitive and controllerless system. Just like the Nintendo DS game, Dr.

Body and Brain Training may be a simple party game compendium, but the level of hand-eye coordination required to succeed could only have been achieved on Kinect. As such, it’s a unique experience.

This is a great game and can't wait to use it at Christmas where all the family can make fools of themselves. Loads of different games and very different to levels that I am used to with Wii Fit etc.

This game is alot of fun and has a very nice progression in terms of difficulty, the daily brain tests are a lot of fun trying to get your brain age all the way down to 20. This is a really easy game to pick up and play, and perfect for playing 30 mins a day to improve you brain power.

Easy To Learn; Gameplay; Graphics; Great Sound

It's true, you know, Dr Kawashima is a real life doctor person - a neuroscientist, no less. Not knowing much about the man who single-handedly put games consoles into the wrinkly hands of pensioners, I decided to do a little sleuth work.
