 Brain Academy June 18, 2008
Pretty much a must have for anyone who owns a Wii. It is very fun while at the same time helping you learn. Who could ask for more?
good exercises June 14, 2008
Wish I could bypass the little prof babbling incessantly while moving to different portions of the academy. Other than that it is fine.

As an adult player, I found BIG BRAIN ACADEMY to be fun and I do return to play it - to get a better grade. For me, however, it does not have the variety I would have hoped for. It also has way too much filler listening to a cartoon professor who repeats himself. It does require speed of response and accuracy to score highly and the activities and general advise given by the professor are educationally accurate and sound.
 Not worth it for adults June 3, 2008

Huge downfall to the game is its lack of minigames. 15-20 for this game, versus over 60 when mario party 2 came out. Really disappointing
My GF and I, both mid 20's, thought the brain age series was worth a try. I had played a ds version in a store and liked it. This game is no better than the ds version. We also bought it to be used as a bonding experience.
This game made bonding worse. It relies more on the speed of your clicking icons/answers than it does using your brain. I dominated her because of my experience with the wiimote versus her first experience with a console system. Everytime I beat her in a game that measures your intelligence made me feel more guilty when i won because it seemed to lower her self esteem with each win. Not to mention the 2 player games require you to pass the controller around instead of using your own.
rent this and you prolly wont buy it.
Not that much fun, but interesting and rewarding June 2, 2008
When I first got this game, I found it really interesting and exciting. I played solo most of the time, and I enjoyed challenging myself to get a better score. I worked my way up from C-- to A--. It is actually hard to improve on your score, especially as you go up the ladder. Your head needs to be in focus for at least 10-15 minutes per set of tests. A little mistake in the middle would bite and frustrate you. Plus, once you start get a hang of the questions, your brain would probably be tired by then. It was fun though, especially if you are the ambitious type who always want to beat your own best score ;)
I played this game a couple times with my friends as well. It is definitely a fun and healthy competitive game. I suggest however, that you do not play with people with big 'ego' :) And have people with similar level play against each other for optimum adrenaline rush!
Teaming up with your friends to solve individual test can be fun too. But as time is a crucial factor determining your score, it is probably not reasonable to take in many inputs from your peers to beat the clock. Buy this game and get a mental lift! Don't overdo it though, as you may end up draining all of energy ;)
There aren't many variety of the games, so you will get bored soon if you play it all the time. I personally play this game just once or a couple times a month when I am bored, so it serves me well.
