For a game about brain training, it’s weird that the developers have used a made-up word. Does the actual gameplay remain as odd, or will it blow your brain?

 

Welcome to "Encleverment Experiment".

 

N/A

 

If you’ve played any brain training game before, you know what to expect here roughly- several quick fire rounds of various questions, which some scientists say can help improve your memory, mathematics, or reasoning skills.

 

"Encleverment Experiment", however, does have some new things to offer the genre, on top of the multiplayer offering. You can create your own tests if you would like to practice certain games, and there are also single player challenges against the AI and selectable difficulty levels.

 

 

There are a few problems, however. AI performance is pretty random, and it and be pretty difficult to beat them, especially at higher difficulty levels- where performances are clearly inhuman at times. Having said that, the simple tests are probably the best part of the game- even if they are the least original bits.

 

16 different challenges are included, and with the difficulty settings, and random puzzles means that you’ll probably never get the same combinations of questions twice.

 

Each challenge also tells you which bits of your brain you are supposedly training, and then at the end of the test, you get the usual stats about how you’ve performed and how you’ve improved (or not). The game also uses achievements to help you try and get better, and to help you keep coming back, which is pretty neat too.

 

 

There’s nothing particularly new or special here, but compared to the other, pretty poor brain training games on 360, it’s certainly a step-up.
