Strengths: Fun; shallow learning curve; high replay value; innovative use of the DS' touch-screen capability; graphs distinguish results for normal and hard difficulty settings
Weakness: Not suitable for long gaming sessions; the minigames can get repetitive
I'm a fan of brain-themed games like Brain Age, so I decided to give Flash Focus a shot. I'm glad I did because the game is a lot of fun. In fact, it's become one of my favorite NDS titles.
Game play consists of about 15 different minigames that emphasize different sight-related skills (e.g. eye movement, peripheral vision). There are three main modes of play: core training, sports training, and the eye age check. Core training asks you to perform simple tasks like tracking a ball hidden in one of three moving boxes (think three card monte). Sports training require you to complete sports-related activities (e.g. spiking a volleyball, passing a basketball). The eye age check is comprised of core training minigames that will test your vision in five different areas. The difficulty level of minigames will be based on your performance during a previous eye age check. After playing through the minigames, you will be given an eye age ranging from 20-80 (a la Brain Age).
I play the game in short bursts during the day (e.g. between classes; commercial breaks while watching TV). It's a fun and simple way to challenge myself and keep my brain active. I don't know if it actually improves vision, but even if it doesn't, it's fun! If you're a fan of brain-themed games like Brain Age, you'll enjoy Flash Focus. And for only $20 MSRP, it's a good value.

This game is one of the best for your DS, This game is available for all ages. This game will enhance your visual perceptions and sightings plus reflex. The game consists in several mini games which will help you improve your eyesight.
I recommend this game for everyone due to the help that brings for those hand held gamers.
I bought this game for my son and My whole family using it. Flash Focus is an eye-training game which helps you improve your peripheral vision, eye reaction time and other eye related functions. It is similar to many actual eye-training exercises used by optometrists.This game takes a lot of practice everyday to get good. I just loved the eye cool down exercises, it is very relaxing after a 20 minute eye training workout.
Strengths: This can help you train your eye coordination
Weakness: none, seriously
This is the best educational game for the DS. It contains a lot of games that help you train your vision. It also can test your concentration and memory skills. You may think that this is just a copy of Brain Age or Brain Academy but it is not. It is completely different. This game beats those two games I mentioned by a lot. I have been playing for more than 2 weeks and I still find it entertaining. This is a game that anyone should have
Strengths: Enjoyable mini games that might even improve your hand eye coordination.
Weakness: Despite the game's claims, I suspect the games are just that.
Think of Flash Focus as Brain Age for your eyes. It's a series of mini games meant to improve the way you see things. The games center on peripheral vision and hand eye coordination. The daily training consists of sports related tests such as hitting a baseball at the perfect time and punching a boxing glove clean in the center and also traditional clinical style tasks such as watching a ball go under a box then figuring out where the ball is among a few shuffled boxes. I don't know if the training really has any lasting beneficial effects, I haven't really felt any, though my "eye age" isn't much lower than my real age. But the game sure is amusing, and for $20 what more can you hope it to do?
Strengths: There is enough variety in activities where you don't get bored quickly
Weakness: Instructions shouldn't repeat every day
The variety of activities available in the game keeps you interested, and having to unlock new activities makes you wonder what is next. An option to disable instructions for activities you have already learned would be nice. As it is, you have to tap through multiple screens at times just to get to the activity.
Strengths: many levels of play with different kind of sports.
Weakness: only save two players info.
Flash Focus: Vision Training in Minutes a Day is a very Good DS educational game for little kids. It's fun and not violent. There are many sports activities but you can only advance to the next sports activities once you earn enough stars. Too bad it only save two players information. so if you have two kids played, and you want to play, you will need to take one of their name to play.
This game is interesting enough to keep my son occupied with the included activities and it also promises to train your eyes. The training itself is good and so are the mini games that it has. Great Buy.
Got this for Christmas and so far, it's been very enjoyable. The mini games appeal to all ages and provide lots of educational, interactive fun for all ages. I'm hoping to improve my score as I go, but it's another great addition to our 'DS thinking games' collection.
i bought this for my cousin. i highly reccomened this product it will entertain you for hours. it great for kid and adults of all ages. if you but this game you will have lots of fun.
