This a great learning tool for kids and adults to help with their brian and thinking.
Good Game But Has a Few Minor Flaws Posted 09 March 2007
First off, I'm a Brain Age freak.
That being said, I purchased Big Brain Academy so that I could have even more games to get addicted to. Big Brain has 15 games you can play, in easy to hard modes, and it measures your brain "weight", rather than you brain "age." I think the games would be fun for all ages and I think the memory games (on both Brain Age and Big Brain) do help increase your photographic memory skills! All in all, the games are good enough, but a little different from Brain Age. Brain Age just seems to wake you up and make you think fast while this game doesn't feel as urgent; they're challenging but not as stimulating (for me).
The minors flaws are not really true technical flaws, only some minor annoyances I have with it that affect the experience:
1. Dr. Lobe of Big Brain says even cornier things than Dr. Kawashima, and they're not really helpful (well, I suppose they can't be identical games anyway)
2. The music is sort of boring; I think better music would have helped the game seem more exciting
3. The art style of it is just kind of weak; I'm all for simple but the images used in the games are just not that appealing or cute
4. The game only has 3 menu options: the test mode, the training mode, and the versus mode; I think they could have added additional games like Sudoku on Brain Age, or some word play games, to put some more substance into the game itself
That is all. I hope I didn't sound too harsh because the game IS fun and DOES help pass the time away on your DS. I'm just a little partial to Brain Age for some reason. :)
More challenging than you might think. Posted 09 March 2007
Not just for the kids. This game provides an adequate challenge to all ages. The trick is just to get the hang of it and use your smarts. I highly enjoyed it.
Great, great and great! Posted 03 March 2007
The game is one of the best. Almost cannot put it away!
Fun Learning Experience Posted 19 February 2007
Big Brain Academy is tons of fun! So fun that you forget that you're actually exercising your brain while you're playing.
