8Nothingparticularly unique here and the repetition tends to drag it down.Overall:6.8Not a bad title,though a bit on the repetitious side. the Runescape game does have some personality andthe combat can involve a bit of strategy. Above AverageChallenge Me: Brain Puzzles - NDS - Review. Challenge Me: Brain Puzzles byOxygen Interactive, like it's siblings in the Challenge Me series, is all abouthoning your brain skills. And like the other entries in the series, it focuseson a small cross-section of those brain skills. While Challenge Me: Math Workoutfocused on math skills, this game seems to focus more on deductive logic, withhalf of the Runescape game being based around Sudoku. I was particularly excited about thegame for this reason, as I do enjoy a good Sudoku puzzle now and again, but wascurious as to how it would hold up on a gaming system.Brain Puzzles consists of two maingame types, Sudoku and a game titled Picture Logic. Being familiar with Sudoku,I began with a bit of this logic puzzler to break the ice on Brain Puzzles. Nowusually Sudoku is an enjoyable, relaxed game requiring some deep logicalthought.rs3 gold But Brain Puzzles immediately removes the relaxed portion of thatdescription by timing you as you work to solve your Sudoku puzzle. Timeconstraints generally lead to frantic, clouded thoughts, which interferes withthe type of thought necessary to be successful in Sudoku. Instead ofconcentrating on the puzzle and deducing what numbers should belong where, Ifound myself repeatedly checking the clock to see if I was on pace to meet theestablished goal. Any simple distraction that breaks the chain of thought, in myopinion, is a bad thing for a game like this. I would argue that due to thepressure added by the timer, Brain Puzzles has also erased the enjoyable descriptor from my above characterization of Sudoku. A Runescape gamer does not like tofeel stressed when trying to relax. And with Sudoku being somewhat of aslow-paced game, you do expect to be able to relax with it.
