Nintendo’s has had two successful Brain Age titles. Flash Focus is a Brain Age spin-off that boosts your visual perception brain power. This game helps to train your vision. A series of mini-games which attempt to improve vision and hand-eye coordination speed.
Flash Focus was advised by Dr. Hisao Ishigaki, who is considered “a leader in the field of ‘Visual Training’ practiced by professional athletes.”
The game is set up similar to Brain Age. A series of tests determine your “eye age.” Which is a chilling moment like it was when getting your brain age. Then the daily training exercises or custom training begins.
There are two categories: Core Training and Sports Training. The Core games are the more authentic feeling vision training. They are both challenging and simple to understand.
But I did not like the Sports Training games. The settings in sports gives an odd turn to the idea of vision training. It has baseball, boxing, and table tennis in it. I’d expect that in a sports mini game collection but not in something that I would buy for eyesight improvement. It seems like they went off on a tangent.
The game only saves the results from the first play of the day. As you continue playing you unlock new mini-games. Eventually that unlocks more to do. Even with that, the game is terribly short. Vision training should only take 15-20 minutes.
Flash Focus gave me a very bad headache after about ten minutes. The twenty dollars is too much for such a short and poorly executed game. I expected more from this. The graphics are rudimentary and boring. It was a good idea, too bad they didn’t put the amount of energy into it that was in Brain Age. I give Flash Focus: Vision Training in Minutes a Day 4 eyes out of 10.
