Uncommon: Common Sense Training DS
For those about to read this article, please note that we are translating this via babelfish. If there is any misunderstanding or misquoting, we offer our apologies. If there’s none, this has got to be one of the weirder DS games yet.
We like brainy games. We’ve covered quite a lot of gems like Big Brain Academy, Brain Age, and Mind Quiz. They’re all great because it tests people on Intelligence Quotient (IQ), but what about a program that tests common sense?
When we first covered Common Sense Training, we found it weird. Now, we think they’ve gone overboard and landed in the world of the really-way-out-there type of queerness. You want proof? There’s a part of the game where you “diagnose the sensible power of prayer.” We even see a screenshot with two people about to get married and some options in the seating arrangement. With all these bizarre questions, there is a silver lining among the clouds.
A rough diamond? Although it’s main selling point is testing common sense, there seems to be some part of the game where it deals with proper manners and appreciation, for example dining etiquette and the arts. Another nice thing about it is that you can play with 4 DS owners using just one game cartridge. Spread the freaky game!
This game will be out in Japan by October. We’re hoping for a proper English version if it ever arrives on foreign soil. Sometimes, we just need odd things to make us appreciate the normal ones more. Screenshots here!
