Vol. 4 [PSP UMD] Free of charge Useful Truth

sony-psp-go-handheld-game-console-black Vol. 4 [PSP UMD] Free of charge Useful Truth

I was so happy when I bought the last part of the Four Swords manga. (Original title is “Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Plus”, though)
Akira Himekawa, once more, doing a great job on a manga adoption of the GameBoy game.
Betryal, comedy, action, and a tint of drama are in store for anyone wanting to read this.
Included after the conclusion of the main story is a three to five pages 4-koma (four panel comic) special which includes one for each Link and even some for Shadow/Dark Link.

I would’ve given this book five stars, but there is a problem with volume 2 that I need to point out.
It’s not plot-wise, but something in general…
I was re-reading it a few days ago and noticed that Viz Media (the publishers) made quite a few errors later on in the book.
There was part where Red and Vio were talking, but they had each other’s line instead of their own.
Here’s an example…

(How it should be…)
Red: What’s wrong, Vio?
Vio: I can’t believe he just noticed him right now.

HOWEVER, the manga goes like this…
Red: I can’t believe he just noticed him right now.
Vio: What’s wrong, Vio?

It happens quite a lot, which bothers me, since I’ve never seen Viz Media do a mistake like this. In a 4-koma, they even call Vio “Green”.

This problem may already have been fixed by newer prints of volume 2, but in mine, it’s there.

All in all, enjoyable and sweet. If you can ignore the speaking problem they have once or twice in the book, you should be able to love it to bits.

Gameplay
The game is also structured like Big Brain Academy in that puzzles are divided into four separate categories: Logic, Math, Visual, and Focus; the Xbox Live Arcade version, PlayStation 3, PSP, Wii and Nintendo DS add a fifth category, Memory. The puzzles can be played at three difficulty levels, and more complex puzzles are unlocked through a player's progression through the game.
Many of the puzzles are similar to those from both Big Brain Academy and Brain Age. For example, Balance shows different objects on scales, and the player must determine from the relationships on the scales which is the heaviest object. In the Trout Route test, the player must follow a path based on the progressive numerical relationship given (ie. +2, -3, etc.) Travelling requires the player to memorize a route of arrows, while Ascending has the player determining the order of a group of objects from least to most in amount. Bouncing Ball has the player determining as quick as possible which ball bounces highest.
Game modes
The game features two modes:
Test: the difficulty level automatically adjusts throughout the game based on performance.
Free Training (Training Room on the XBLA version): Allows the player to select exercises of their choice at three available levels (Easy, Medium, Hard).
The XBLA, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo DS versions also feature additional modes:
Creative (available on PS3 with an add-on pack): A relaxing mode in which the player can doodle drawings or shoot fireworks.
Stress: A more stressful test mode than the basic Test mode, which adds distracting noises and visuals, such as forcing the player to do two disparate actions at once, or dealing with distracting images or insects on the screen.*Also on the Playstation 3.*
Kid mode (available on PS3 with an add-on pack): A multiplayer mode that allows younger players to play.
Personal coach: A user-selected AI coach that accompanies the player through various modes.
Brain charts: Detailed stats and graphs tracking past gameplay.
Multiplayer
The Nintendo DS version supports up to three player multiplayer via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, while the Xbox Live Arcade version features up to four player offline and online Xbox Live multiplayer, as well as online leaderboards. The mobile phone version also features an online leaderboard.

The mobile phone and iPod versions were very well received, including an 8.3/10 from IGN for the wireless version, which praised, "[the] majority of the puzzles are good and the production values are strong." Pocket Gamer raved about the iPod version in its 8 of 10 review, glowing, "It's almost a no-brainer to recommend Brain Challenge. It's enjoyable, invigorating and there's a remarkable amount [of gameplay] in it." iLounge's A- review of the iPod version also applauded, "It just as smart of an offering for this platform as Brain Age was for Nintendo."
IGN's review for the Nintendo DS version was less enthusiastic (7.5/10), but still singled out the Stress Test as an innovative twist to the brain exercise game formula, as was its review of the Xbox Live Arcade version (7.2/10), though it did mention, "There's quite a bit of depth to Brain Challenge...Making your way through Brain Challenge could take a very, very long time." DS Fanboy's review was more generous with an 8/10 review, and while calling it "an odd little game", it praised, "Lots of replay value, interesting unlockables, and loads of content make up for the title's flaws."
Team Xbox panned the Xbox Live Arcade version, saying, "It doesn take a whole lot of brain power to figure out that this is one title best left on the shelf," in its 4/10 review. GameSpot's negative review (5.5/10) stated, "...Only a handful of these stand-alone minigames resemble anything of interest."
Sequel
A sequel, Brain Challenge Vol. 2: Stress Management, was released by Gameloft for mobile phones in 2008. Another sequel, "Brain Challenge 3: Think Again!", was released by Gameloft for mobile, iPod Touch, iPhone in September 2009.
