It would be better if this article was moved to More Brain Training from Dr. Kawashima: How Old Is Your Brain? because it was released in Europe before North America and that is the name in Europe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.69.175.125 ( talk) 16:46, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
The lead paragraph on the article page was vague as to what the commercial product's purpose was, reading:
So, according to the above paragraph, what's the product's 'actual intended purpose'? Is it something that's:
By leaving out a general description of the product's intended purpose the reader is uninformed and can misinterpret what the game's intended purpose actually is; we know that many visitors to Wikipedia are casual readers who briefly review the opening lead paragraphs to get a quick familiarization of the article's subject matter. But only later at the end of the second paragraph, and much further into the article can readers discern that there are valid scepticisms of the product's effectiveness, and that Nintendo itself has classified the game as an 'entertainment product' , refusing to provide scientific studies supporting neurological benefits. This needs to be clarified in the article's lead paragraphs to avoid casual readers associating 'Brain Training' with medical studies validating a therapeutic product's effectiveness, which could be a legitimate inference of 'More Brain Training.....' .
Therefore, the lead paragraph is being revised to counter the inconsistencies noted above, thus becoming (relevant improvements underlined on this page only):
Note that a reference has been added to support the statement that Nintendo has not claimed the product has been scientifically proven. The article's remaining lead sentences/paragraphs subsequent to the above sentences remain unchanged.

A survey conducted by Alain Lieury, a professor of cognitive psychology at the University of Rennes 2 – Upper Brittany, disputes Nintendo's claims that Brain Age 2 can improve the brain. The analysis indicates that working on exercises with a pencil and paper is just as good as the game at stimulating the memory.
That criticism is hardly meaningful. Of course doing the same exercises with pencil and paper are going to be just as effective. The whole point is not how people are doing the exercises, but rather that they are doing them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.7.97.221 ( talk) 05:47, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
