Advantages: Fun to do and does help with some skills Disadvantages: Would probably get a bit repetitive over time
...when I saw the new Sight Training for DS on sale in my local supermarket. Ever curious (and being keen to retain as many of my faculties as possible) I decided to buy it and see what it offered.
Intially this product seemed quite similar in format to the Brain Training package I already had however I was pleased to see that it didn't have the rather irritating Dr Kawashima but seemed to offer something slightly more serious. The aim of the package ... ...think?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have had Sight Training for about a month now and I still haven't got fed up of playing with it every day. I am certainly doing better with the tests these days but whether that is because I am getting used to them or whether my eyesight really is improving I wouldn't like to comment. At the end of each days 'training' there is a nice little relaxation exercise if you wish to do it.
Would I recommend it?

Advantages: a good cheap game to play! Disadvantages: Each days training is a ltitle short.
...saw a new game called Sight Training, with the same kind of packaging and design, I really wanted it. The game isn't by Dr Kawashima but has very very similar packaging as to make it look as though it is, whether it is made by the same company but not endorsed by the same "Dr Kawashima" I don't know, but it is much like the original Brain Training game in the way the packaging looks, and even the way the game is set out and played. PRICE:
I got ... ...pay the full price for Sight Training. The Game itself:
The game is made to strengthen your sight by giving it challanges and tests and teaching you how to excercise them to keep them fit and healthy as you do with the rest of your body. The game gives you a range of games to play and puzzles to complete to test your eyesight and make it strong. I don't suppose the game says anything about stopping you needing glasses or keeping your sight at 20/20 ...

Advantages: Great Fun Disadvantages: Can make you tired
Sight training is another one of those great products by nintendo, this game is ideal for all ages and gender. The game follows other games in the series like brain training where you play games to make your brain stronger. So this game focus's on your eyes and co-ordination and by playing different games you can test you eye speed.
Within the game there is several different aspects of Focus ablity which you can train on a daily basis and try and ... ...a stamp. If you play sight training on a daily basis more games/activities become available for you to do.
There are many different activities and games to keep you going and i have had this game 5 weeks and am still enjoying it.
Can you play if you where glasses?
Yes, my mother-in-law wears glasses and doesn't have a problem with using this game. She seems to do as good as me without glasses so i don't think there is any difference.

Sight Training for the Nintendo DS is aimed at improving your eye sight. The game comes after the release of Nintendo's Brain Training games and has been based on the fact that we only use 50% of our eyes potential - not a lot. The game is of a similar style to the Brain Training games.
The game is designed so that players complete a series of training exercise which will in turn improve their eye sight. The game was created under the supervision ... ...visual training for athletes. So how does the game work?
The game works in several ways and uses hand-eye coordinator, peripheral vision, eye movement, momentary vision (processing a lot of information at once) and dynamic visual acuity (being able to see moving objects clearly). Completing the exercises regularly will improve your eye sight. After each training session, your results are recorded and stamp issued for that day in a calendar. This ...

Product Features - Their View
Product Features - Their View
Strengthens 5 aspects of the focus ability through simple and short training exercises. Endorsed by the famous Japanese "Visual Training" professor Ishigaki Hisao. All operations are activated via simple touches so anyone can train there focus ability.
My View
To follow brain training we can now train our eyes. The jury is out on whether this can improve your eyesight but I'm a believer ... ...just be of some help, training any part of your body improves it so why not your eyes. Nintendo claims it develops your focus ability, eg how you see moving objects, your peripheral vision and hand-eye co-ordination. There are various games and exercises with more to be unlocked along the way. You perform a short set of exercises each day and your progress is tracked within graphs and the usual calendar stamp. There is an Eye Age Test which shows ...

Advantages: get to practice tapping your DS pricisely & fast Disadvantages: Repetitive activities.
I bought this as I like visual related puzzels and skill games. However I feel this was quite placid in terms of 'skill enhancing', sure it has random possibly usefull on another planet or to another bored person eye trivia...but no puzzles.
Somewhat average in method and 'fun'. It paces you through a series of basic 'eye workouts' and everyday you accumulate a 'stamp of achievment', which means you are able to unlock other 'secret acitivites'...yes.. ... ...as brain train, obviously not as taxing. So in that light perhaps 'brain' is better? ...I found the exercises to be repetitive, in either category you chose (the unlockables just vary on theme slightly) & not totally convinced it could calculate your eye age with a few 'the same 5' tests, which will age particularly if your having a tiresome day..this almost tests your concentration more than eye activity. But I suppose that is an effective skill ...

Advantages: Uniquely trains your eyes. Disadvantages: Doesn't have the addictiveness of Brain Training
...for our eyes. Sight Training challenges our eyes just like Brain Training does with our Brain. It's also in the same format of mini-games which we have all come to know and love. Basically it's the same as brain training but for eyes. But it has moved up a level from to old black and white numbers to real life situations in sport. You need sight for sport, obviously, so you need to know what to use and train it just like body building and that's ... ...volleyball, table tennis and many more for you to unlock as you get more and more stamps, just like brain training. There's not much more to say as it's the same as brain training just a bit less addictive as you only need to turn it on 3 times a week but never the less still fun and challenging. ...
