Big Brain Academy review

July 22nd, 2006

Welcome to review number 2! Big Brain Academy for the Nintendo DS.

Big Brain Academy is a decent game, and probably the best in it’s kind of puzzle game. It’s, in my opinion, much better than it’s counterpart Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes A Day. It has 15 game modes spread into five categories. The games include seeing what weighs more, written math, and finishing shapes. Some of the game modes include hidden nintendo cliche’s like the classic NES controller, Super Mario’s head, or the power flower. The game really needs the stick stylus. That funky thumb strap stylus just won’t cut it. The game plays a little akwardly on the Old DS, but it should play perfectly on the lite. Graphically, the game is a tad childish, but you get past that, it’s pretty fun. You should read what the director has to say, it’s pretty funny. It also has wireless multiplayer, but it is card to card, unless playing the demo test. To get the most out of this game, you need the lite. It’s got a fresh new style that puzzle games need, and it’s sounds are pretty original. It’s a pretty fun game that makes you want to play until you have all gold and an A+ brain.
