Mind Quiz PSP Review

By TCLCloud

This is the kind of game you would expect to see on the Nintendo DS, with its touch screen function I’m sure it has more options for answering the kinds of questions you will find in games like these. However this game is a solid game, in lots of ways. Firstly, it’s got great portability, you can do a quiz in under a minute and others take less time too. There are no complicated controls. To answer a question you have to press the button with the correct answer attached to it on the screen. There are lots of types of different quizzes and chances are you’ll be able to find one you like. Everyday you can do the “Brain Age Test”, which after 4 rounds of random quizzing (each round based on four types of questions, calculation, reflex, judgement and memory) you are given your Brain Age, 20 years old being the best and 80 being the worst. The first time you do it you will probably be getting between 40-60 and as you practice that number should decrease. You can only take one recorded Brain Age test everyday which it will remember and provide you with a bar graph to compare to the last 10 or so days. Another great thing about this is the challenge of playing against your friends. Lots of my friends all wanted a go to see their brain age (you can take more than one unrecorded test a day) so we have had mass sessions of brain age testing!

There is a challenge mode where you can play to get high scores and grades to unlock the next challenge and high grades are awarded by pictures they can view in the gallery mode. There are training modes and trial exam modes to practice and keep your brain sharp. The game does have ad hoc wireless play where you can compete or practice with against your friends.

Graphics: 7/10 – Nice enough, nothing spectacular cause its not needed. Pictures in gallery are sharp and good to look at.

Sounds: 7/10 - Music in the background is calming throughout menu and sounds in quizzes tells you if you got an answer right or wrong.

Gameplay: 9/10 – Provides are great challenge and also varying difficulties. Lots of types of questions and quizzes and can provide a long term challenge to improve your brain age.

Overall: 8/10 – A nice easy game to pick up and play with lots of content and challenge.
