Get smart

Recently released Kinect brain-buster Dr Kawashima's Body and Brain Exercises (known as Dr Kawashima's Body and Brain Connection in some parts of the world) is so far the only title for the sensor that tests your brainpower as well as your physical prowess, teasing you with maths, logic and memory puzzles.

Producer Yasuhiro Nishimoto recently spoke to the official Xbox community team about how the game was created alongside titular neuroscientist Dr Kawashima, tweaking and honing the exercises in response to focus testing carried out with Japanese players who may be slightly older than the usual gamer. It's an interesting look at the game that scored a 6/10 in our recent Dr Kawashima's Body and Brain Exercises review.
