More fun than you'd think.,

This review is from: Big Brain Academy (Nintendo DS) (Video Game)
I greatly enjoyed Brain Training for the DS but was concerned that this would be more of the same. I've had it on import for a few months now and it is truly a great game. It's a lot more fun and less serious than Brain Training. You are spurred on to play more and more to get bronze, silver and gold medals (you can then try for the extremely-hard-to-get platinum medals). This is not a game you'd play for hours on end like New Super Mario Bros. or Castlevania, it is for short bursts of play when you get the urge to test your brain or beat your friends/family.
Multiplayer is just brilliant - a real laugh playing with just 2 or 3 people - it can only be better with up to 8! Seriously, if I could only have one game for the DS, it would be Big Brain Academy.

This review is from: Big Brain Academy (Nintendo DS) (Video Game)
i finally agreed to let my son have a DS for educational purposes (i knew i would cave in at some point and this was a very handy excuse). We bought the Brain Trainer and the Big brain academy at the same time. Both games are great but the Big Brain academy attracts the children straight away.
The bright colours and pictures sucker them into learning without them realising it and suddenly they are very eager to find out who has the heaviest brain amongst friends and family. As a parent you can see them improving every time they use it and they take pride in every gram of brain weight. An added bonus for us was that it is multi-lingual, so my son can practice in both of his languages and also in the French that he is learning at school. But its not just for the children. We bought the DS and the first day of our holidays and by the end of it we were all hooked! A great buy that the children will love to try and beat you at.

This review is from: Big Brain Academy (Nintendo DS) (Video Game)
I disagree with the previous reviewer who thinks that this game is more suitable for under 10s and not for adults. I recently bought a DS to take on holiday with a group of mates (all in our twenties and thirties) and this game proved to be a massive winner with everyone. There are five categories (think, identify, memorise, calculate and analyse) and each category has three individual and varied challange games. The games are good because they don't only rely on mathematics but require a variety of skills and an all round intelligence is required togain a good overall score. The games may appear simple at first but get deceptively tricky as you get deeper into the game and the time limit makes even the coolest heads panic. Getting a top score requires patience, practice and no little skill and getting a good score allows significant bragging rights to fellow gamers. Getting a poor score can be humiliating and lead to a burning need to play again and prove to everyone that you're not as stupid as the game implies.
