"Brain Age 2 doesn't stray very far from the production of the original Brain Age. The visuals, the menus, the presentation...it's nearly entirely the same as last year's product. The follow-up even has Sudoku in the same exact engine as the first game -- good thing, too, because not a single third-party has been able to out-do the Sudoku that Nintendo created for Brain Age."
"we couldn't find a single repeat -- other than the aforementioned Sudoku, it's a whole new list of exercises. And they're really creative, too."
"Voice recognition is back, and Nintendo ensures us that it's much better for this second time around."
"New to Brain Age 2 is the multiplayer competition. You'll only need one copy of the game for as many as eight player challenges"

I am inclined to believe that whatever age group you are that the practice of repeating does not necessarily improve memory and from that stand point he may be right.
The point that the Brain games are played more by adults or benefit adults more I think is also unlikely but it would be nice to see more evidence.
I doubt this will have any significant impact unless more damning evidence is produced.
