I thought I was ambidextrous since I can write, do various tasks and play games with either hand. This is a very good at improved your abilities in the non-dominant hand. It works well for hand and eye coordination. There are multiple levels graphical representations of your progress. If you are already ambidextrous, this game won't help. If you THINK you are ambidextrous, then try this game. If you want to improve your ability to use either hand, this a great exercise for you. There are various tasks such as hit the monster, mazes, writing letters, obstacle course, tracing items, etc. This is fun but I don't recommend hours upon hours of play like adventure games. You can only do repetitive tasks so often before you just burn out. VERDICT Good game which will improve your dexterity with the non-dominant hand.

My 6YO son always tries to play my DS games (Brain Age types) and can't do it. Left Brain/Right Brain is simple enough that he can actually enjoy without frustration. At a good price (I bought used for 12.99), it's worth it for that alone. He is also tickled to turn the DS around to do the Left Hand thing. I'm not in interested in true ambidexterity, but I'm sure that doing things with your weak hand is good for the brain. The game is simple and not stressful. Graphics are weak, but adequate. I imagine younger people (12-25) might be put off by this.
