Pros Entertaining *and* educational
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

Although Big Brain Academy for the DS was overshadowed by Brain Age, it was still a fun little game and for $20, the price was just right.

What's up with Nintendo charging full price for the Wii versions of DS games? First Cooking Mama and now Big Brain Academy?

Needless to say,... Read full review »

Pros Addictive, fun, simple, great multiplayer.
Cons Perhaps a bit too simple.
Recommended it? Yes

Here's a game that's equal parts captivating and frustrating. It's captivating because the gameplay is simple, addictive, and most importantly fun; frustrating because while Nintendo fans are waiting for the next big game, we have to go with yet another one that is essentially a compilation of mini...

Pros Educational, great solo and multiplayer modes, lots of replay
Cons Voice coach is annoying sometimes, too easy at times

This is a sequel of sorts to the DS Big Brain game. I had wanted to play the game, but I didn't own a DS. After reading a bit on this game, I decided to buy it without ever playing it. I was very pleased with my purchase.

Pros Quick to learn, challenge to master
Cons The MC talks too much; multi-player games often allow only 1 remote

My First Thoughts

I got this game in the mail yesterday from the rental place. I play it a little and found it enjoyable. I only had time to do the test part so far, but the different activities seem fun. There is quite a nice variety shown in just the test. The practice mode by looks... Read full review »

Pros Family friendly & challenging

All of the mini games are very entertaining and do not get boring at all. I like how there are all different... Read full review »
