 REVIEW—”One Mississippi, Two Mississippi”

 

One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi…yeah we have all done it before. Whether it’s hide-and-seek or a rocket launch, we all know that counting Mississippis roughly adds up to a second. Still, whoever would have thought that someone would turn counting Mississippi into a game? In fact, that’s probably what this game should be called. BrainClock is perhaps the most mind numbing game ever.

BrainClock is the ultimate time guessing game. From its launch select from 3 seconds, 10 seconds, or 30 seconds and that’s the time you have to guess correctly. The trick is that you can’t see the actual time. It’s like a fake stopwatch that rolls with sporadic time and you must stop it as close to the actual second as possible. Once you press the big button in the middle, the clock stops and your brain clock must go to work counting the time. One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi and so on; the closer you get to the actual second the more points you receive. This is a game after all. The further under time you are the more points you will lose and it’s the same for going over time. There are also some quite pleasant and unpleasant sounds. The closer you get to the correct time the better the sound and the further off you are…well, the more you sound like a contestant who just guessed wrong on Jeopardy.

 Overall, BrainClock is a slightly amusing game. I mean, it would kill time on a bad road trip or a long plane ride. It was also nice to return to my youth for a few short minutes. Still, I’m not sure it’s a game, I’d like to keep around on my iTouch or iPhone once that boring road trip or plane ride is over. Just sayin’.
