on 2010-02-10I have about 20 nintendo DS games, and all of them are either puzzles or brain development games. I did not like this particular one because it records the results only once a day and there is no way to improve that one result. I did not like that at all. Also, there is no training where you can train as much as you want to, as only the first result is recorded. this is why the product has 2 stars.

on 2010-02-01I got this as a gift for my husband and he seems to like it. It's more of a learning game which is what he likes most.

The premise of Flash Focus is that it is a daily vision training tool for your eyes. The exercises are intended to gauge and improve 5 abilities that range from movement tracking, hand eye coordination, to peripheral vision. There are fundamental exercises that train you, and there are sports activities designed to both train and entertain you. For the first 2-3 weeks, I felt Flash Focus was kind of fun. I didn't really feel an improvement, although it said I was steadily improving. After awhile, it got very boring especially once I unlocked all of the activities. Most of the exercises do not really test your vision skills but instead evaluate your brain. The number flash, letter count, and a lot of the other exercises test your ability to memorize and regurgitate the numbers you saw. In advanced mode, the game flashes a long number for a split second and demands you to input the exact number. If you transpose 2 digits or miss one, it is considered wrong. I've gone to several optometrists and ophthalmologists in the past and they never had such testing going on. Overall, it is a fun novelty game that may or may not improve your vision with regular use. The novelty wore off quickly in my experience.
Pros: Easy way to track, manage, and improve your vision based on the game's parameters. Nifty sound effects, and some of the sports activities are entertaining.
Cons: Dated graphics, most of the exercises test your photographic memory capabilities rather than your vision. I never understood the peripheral vision test on a Nintendo DS. The real eye doctors use a much different test for peripheral vision
Overall: 3/5 stars
