My God, what will they think of next? I have already aired my skepticism with this new wave of training game. I would call myself a realist. Junk food is bad for you, smoking is bad for you and playing computer games on a screen the size of a match-box is never ever going to be GOOD for your eyes!
Okay, in its defense they only recommend you play for a short period and they do suggest playing only once a day.
After all that,it's not hard to fathom I wasn't a huge fan of Sight Training. It's not that it's a bad game; the sports section is great fun and the puzzles are compelling, but it suffers from what all of these games are suffering from.
They have taken a section from one of the brain trainers and tried to package it as a sole entity. No one wants to improve just their hand-eye co-ordination - they want the whole shebang.
Having said that, if they start selling it in opticians, I will eat my hat!
