Big Brain Academy - Who has the Biggest Brain? (DS)

-First Play- This took a while to get the hang of. I borrowed this from my friend along with a lot of other cartridges and, eager to get through them all I wasn't too keen on this one in particular. When I went back at the recommendation of my friend however I realised tht it was in fact a really addictive game! AND it isn't one of those silly ones that kill off spare braincells, either. In fact, this one claims to make your brain heavier lol, which is meant to be a good thing, relax. -Replayability- Very replayable. I skipped the practice sessions and went straight for the tests to find out my brain grade (B or B+ i don't remember). What you do is ...  Read the complete review

This is a really enjoyable game for the DS, one that has been played a lot by the kids in my family (aged between 9 and 13) as well as the adults!

Big Brain Academy for the Nintendo DS is a fun way to train your brain. You can choose to play by yourself or to link up with friends in a multiplayer game. The game states that it is suitable for ages 3+ but I think most 3 year olds would struggle with some of the games and I think a more realistic age is 5+ and it will appeal to both children and adults. When you begin the game the title screen allows you to enter you data and save your scores for up to 4 different people. Once you have played the game and completed a test the name will be displayed along with a grade for how well you have done. There are 3 choices of game, Test, Practice and ...  Read the complete review
