Class is in Session (No gum chewing)

Date of Review:  Feb 4, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a simple game to pick up and play, then I highly suggest this one. It's a perfect way to dust of that brain.
Review: Welcome to Big Brain Academy

Shortly after the purchase of my Nintendo DS lite I needed to find another game for it, because Trauma Center:Under Knife wasn't cutting it for me (no pun intended). So I said to myself,"what better way to...

Big Brain Academy: More Smartening From Nintendo

Date of Review:  Jul 22, 2006
The Bottom Line: The lack of modes does not keep this from being enjoyable, just from being enjoyable for a long time.
Review: Big Brain Academy (BBA) for the DS is the second in a line of "smartening" games for the DS. It is a shabby cousin to the other "smartening" game, Brain Age. One cannot avoid comparing the two games; not only are they from the same genre on the same...

Think, Think, Think with Big Brain Academy

Date of Review:  Oct 11, 2008
The Bottom Line: Well worth the $12 I paid for it in the used game section at Game Stop.
Review: I am a thief. I stole the think, think, think line from Steve Burns of Blues Clues fame. However, if you are thinking that Nintendo's Big Brain Academy on the same level as Blue and her friends, you are sadly mistaken.
Big Brain Academy is...

~~ I'm ADDICTED: Big Brain Academy for the DS ~~

Date of Review:  Mar 5, 2007
The Bottom Line: Big Brain Academy for the DS is fun and addicting. It is a thinking type of game and will offer many hours of fun.
Review: I love Big Brain Academy!

My Experience
Big Brain Academy (BBA) for the DS has been extremely addicting!

To start, you must first create a profile. Each person has their own profile so they can collect medals and also keep...

fun and addicting, better than similar games

Date of Review:  Jul 6, 2007
The Bottom Line: I would recommend people buy this game, if they like these sorts of games or want to improve their brain!
Review: I actually really like this game, it's one of my favorites! I own the other very similar game, Brain Age, and find this one to be a lot more fun. It has a lot of different games that you can do and unlike Brain Age you can play it as many times as...

I have never been so hooked on a video game.

Date of Review:  Feb 24, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would give Big Brain Academy two thumbs up because of the variety of games.
Review: My husband bought everyone in our family a Nintendo DS for Valentine's Day. I have wanted on for awhile now, but it was never a priority. I was so excited when I received one. I have never been a big fan of video games that take a lot of skill, just...

Fun, but repetitive

Date of Review:  Aug 6, 2008
The Bottom Line: Get this game only for a child, because you won't enjoy for long it if you're 13 and above.
Review: The DS has been the focal point of Nintendo's many new brain-improving games. This is one of them.

The first thing that strikes you when you start up big brain academy is the more casualness of the game. The game lacks the formality of...

Keeps You Thinking And Also Promotes Brain Activity

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2007
Review: My daughter received this game as a Christmas Gift, the game is wonderful it keeps you thinking and also promotes brain activity. There are adding and subtracting games, look alike games, also draw and connect the dots.

It also helps with...

Fun Game

Date of Review:  Jan 20, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would buy it as my third or fourth choose between other games.
Review: Big Brain Academy is a fun-filled game! This is one of my favorite Nintendo DS games! You can also have up to 4 students on 1 Nintendo DS! This means that friends an family can make accounts without having their own DS or Big Brain Academy game. It...

Repetitive, gets old really quickly

Date of Review:  Mar 21, 2007
Review: Big Brain Academy is a collection of repetitive "games" that test your memory and vision. You can choose to test yourself or practice. Either way, the number of game choices is limited -- and unlocking practice games is a pain as you need to play...
