Last year, the Nintendo DS really changed the way we enjoy video games. With the success of Brain Age & Big Brain Academy, many gamers found a new kind of game to enjoy, the mental game. Since that time, there have been many knock-offs that actually didn’t feel like they were as good as the originals did. Games like Mind Quiz for the PSP, really weren’t able to bring out the best in the gamer. Now, Nintendo is at it again by reviving the Big Brain Academy onto the Wii generation, and hoping to bring it to a wider audience. The question is, does it deliver a smarter mind, or a dumb waste from the wallet?Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree for the Nintendo Wii, expands the successful Nintendo DS game, and brings new action to the system. The gameplay here expands well in more than one way. Now, you can challenge gamers in multiplayer action, or online through the WI-FI connection of the Wii. The control in this is very simple, as you go through many new games and challenges, that just requires a simple point and answer display through the Wii controller. There are also new challenges as you try to mass your brain weight towards your goal of 2000 grams. The new games also bring a lot of challenge like balloon burst, as you try to point and pop your balloons from the lowest to the highest numbers available, but it isn’t as easy as it looks once you get better, as negative numbers try to outweigh your mind. Another new game included is speed sorting, where you have to deduct which one o.

I have a 4 yo (husband does controller for her, but she does well), 10 yo ( figure out where she is and build), and husband and I. I love doing this by myself even or competing with my husband or 10 yo. Both my kids have fun with this too.

The Brain Academy series has been extremely popular, especially among non-gamers. I remember taking the DS version home for Xmas once, and all four members of the family were fighting for the DS the entire time in order to improve their scores.The Wii version is a lot of fun, and the new controls carried over perfectly. Both my current roommates (non-gamers) are completely hooked (one of them joked about how he daydreamed all day at work to come home and play!)My only complaint is that you keep hoping for a couple more games for variety, or a more developed multiplayer mode (the current modes are fun, just leaves you wishing for just a bit more…)A great purchase.

My daughters (12 year old twins and a 13 year old) and I had a lot of fun with this game. The game wasn’t hard,yet it did provide a bit of a challenge. My girls like comparing all our initial scores,and seeing how they increased as they tried the games again. The only negative I could give it is that after a while the games may get a bit repetitive. But that could be counteracted by increasing the difficulty maybe. All in all,totally worth the cost. And I like seeing them playing this a lot more than some of their other games.

Great value! Purchased for my wife after an accident left her with a brain injury. She has made great progress using this product.

We rented this game before buying and am glad we did. The basic premises is an academy were the student’s intelligence is measured by brain weight. The brain weight is determined by how well students perform in different areas–visualization, memory, identification, computation (math), and analyzation. The different areas the students can play to increase their brain weight includes, tests, practices, and playing against one another.The games are fun to play, but because of the lack of variety, our 8 year old got tired of the game quickly. Our young 5 year old, who also enjoyed the game, had to have someone who could read and had basic number skills to help her. As adults, my husband and I enjoyed it, but we too got tired of the games quickly. So, after having rented the game for 5 days, we came to the conclusion, it’s a nice game to have because it does help kids learn, but we shouldn’t expect it to get long hours of play at any given time. It’s more of a game we’ll need to set with our younger kids to help them play and not expect ourselves or our oldest child to really get a lot more playing time from it.

I bought this game as I’ve always wanted Brain Age but never had a Nintendo DS. I’ve certainly enjoyed the tests and the practice. They are a bit repetitive as there are only 3 different activities you can do in each of the 5 sections but that doesn’t bother me too much. You play as your Mii but that is really just to keep track of your scores and medals – the only thing the Miis do is walk around the hallway.But the main thing that annoys me about this game is the “professor” thing who gives you your medals and grades. He has too many things he says (and repeats over and over) so you are constantly pushing the “A” button to get through his text as quickly as possible. (and also, just a nitpick – for a supposedly smart character, he puts “!” at the end of every sentence or phrase) But overall I have enjoyed playing it and am happy with the purchase!
