Brain Challenge 2 heads for mobile
Gameloft's second dose of stress management
Another day, another brain training mobile game. Thankfully, Gameloft's original Brain Challenge was great, so we're looking forward to the sequel, the suitably named Brain Challenge 2: Stress Management.
The game includes 20 new exercises spread across five categories: memory, visual, logic, maths and focus. The 'stress management' part apparently comes in by training your concentration even under stressful conditions.
Here's the science bit. The game promises a Free Training mode to practise on, and an adaptive difficulty structure based on your brain activity profile, with a detailed scoring and ranking system to tell you just how smart (or thick) you are.
The sequel's been given a visual overhaul, too, with 3D aspects thrown into the mix. It's a shame there's no mention of connected elements, since brain trainers are natural candidates for online high-score tables and community features.
Even so, Brain Challenge 2 should be a treat for wannabe mobile boffins.
