Manufacturer's Description
Big Brain Academy, the second title in Nintendo's brain game series of games, challenges you with a course load of mind-bending activities and an addictive Multiplayer Mode!

Test your mental acuity in a five-category quiz: thinking, memorization, computation, analysis, and identification. Work your computing abilities by comparing stacks of coins to find the higher value! Bulk up your analysis skills by quickly counting a huge stack of books! Each exercise takes less than a minute to complete. After you take the quiz, you'll get the weight of your brain, areas of strength and weakness -- and, most importantly, which career is best suited for you. Don't worry, it's all in fun.

Once you think you're the star student at the Academy, compete with up to seven friends or family members through lightning-fast activities to see who really has the biggest brain of the bunch.

Big Brain Academy brings a fresh entertainment anyone young and young at heart can enjoy. It's the perfect way to challenge and stimulate your mind.

Customer Reviews

A really fun game!
This game is suitable for all ages - and by that I do mean adults and children. We all play this game and compete head to head, which is really fun for everyone. There are lots of different mini games (15, I think!) which are split into 5 categories. In practice mode you can pick any game and you then get given a bronze, silver or gold signifying how well you have done. In test mode, you are given a random game from each category and then you are given a grade on how well you have done. Would definitely recommend this for unlimited fun!

Fun antill completed
This game is a childrens version of Brain training, it is quite fun antill you complete all the challanges then it gets tedious and boring.when my daughter tried it she said it was too easy and very boring after about 2 plays on it and she is eleven years old. I think this game is suitable for seven year olds and younger, it is not a good buy and will probabky only be used twice by your child then thrown at the back of a cupboard and never used again. Think about that before you buy. I would highly recommend it to seven year olds and under but teens no way!

Train that brain!
I liked this more than How Old is Your Brain? as there were more puzzles. It also has more scope because you can play each puzzle individually and try to get a gold medal. I felt it was more of a 'game' that How Old is Your Brain which is more a training tool. You can also focus on certain types of game like 'logic' to improve your scores in that area. I would say its fun as such (maths fun??) but its definatley worth a try with the craze of brain training that it taking over the world!.
