Are You Smarter Than A 10 Year Old (DS)

I received Are You Smarter Than A 10 Year Old for the Nintendo DS as a gift for my birthday this year. I hadn't seen the television programme on which the game is based, but my friends chose to buy me this game as they know I like quizzes. The box features a picture of Noel Edmonds, who hosts the TV show, however this is misleading as he has nothing to do with the DS game & in it is replaced by a fictional animated presenter. This is mentioned in very tiny writing on the back of the box, but most people would not notice this before buying the game. Not that this necessarily has any impact whatsoever on the game, but Noel Edmonds fans could potentially be ...  Read the complete review

This review is for the Nintendo DS game, Are You Smarter Than a Ten Year Old? The game is based on the Sky One television quiz show, presented by Noel Edmonds. The aim of the game is to answer questions in order to get yourself to a prize of 100,000 pounds, and then you can gamble this to win 250,000 pounds.

Yes the TV show is entertaining but this is not! So, the aim of the game is to answer questions to reach the grand prize prize of £100,000. You then get a chance to gamble this to win a quarter of a million. If only! There's a few bratty kids along the way who apparently help you answer questions but I never really found them much help at all; only an annoyance. The questions are so ridiculously easy there is barely any chance you could ever lose this game. And from start to finish it's about ten ...  Read the complete review

Another DS game I have borrowed from other dsers in the family. I played this a few times and for me it quickly became boring. I have never watched the TV show so I did not know what to expect from the game itself. When you turn it on it welcomes you and you can register as a player then choose a child to help, you have the option of 6 smiling faces and you do not know what subjects they will be best at until you have chosen them. 10 areas for questions then appear on the screen from subjects for ages 6 to 10. Your helpers best subjects will flash so you know if you get stuck they will most likely have the right answer for you. If ...  Read the complete review
