Product Description
This rethinking of the popular Nintendo DS game will test players brains with fun problems and allow people of any age to play together. The Wii Remote controller’s hands-on control makes playing a cinch. Multiplayer versus and co-op play modes also have been added, allowing players to use the title as a brain-training exercise or a raucous party game. In split screen two-player versus mode, the same puzzle problems will appear in a different order — The first play… More >>

I preordered this game from Amazon THREE WEEKS before the release date and I receive the game a WEEK after the release date! WTF is the point of preordering something weeks in advance if you get it late?

The thought behind the game was with good intention I am sure. The fact that the children are being graded and reminded that their brains haven’t grown since their last “test” I believe to be terrible. I am really glad we rented the game instead of buying it. I have three very competitive children and for them to be graded and compare themseleves against each other (reminder:it is only a game!) does not quite create positive self esteem and harmony in our home. Fun educational games presented in a very poor manner!

With the hype surrounding this release, I had expected a higher-quality product. Although the Wii is not known for its graphics, Big Brain Academy falls so far below the graphics standard that (excluding the motion controls) this could have been an early 90s release. The areas within the game do become progressively harder…challenging even for adults. However, thinking of the potential this game could have had and that it is not a first generation release, I wouldn’t recommend purchasing this product. You will have much more fun with Wii Play or Mario Party 8 if these types of games are up your alley.

This was fun for a while but it really is a one note game. It goes no where.

This DVD has 15 games but most of them are more suitable for kids or teens than for adults. Also, some of them have appeared in other games like Wii play. It looks like the game producer just tried to cram as many activies as possible into this DVD. Then they used it as a selling point. That tactic fails beause most of the games are not entertaining at all.
I’m glad I borrowed it from my friend.
