The DS version was fun, but it was great to have this on a big screen finally!

The quick paced decision making tests are tons of fun!!

A neat little side feature was that the game takes random Miis from your Mii Channel and places them in the game!

What's great about it: Challenging Mini Games

What's not so great: Nothing

I was skeptical at first that this would be a good game for a kid, but my 4 year old and I played it for 2 hours and never got bored. The thinking exercises are excellent for people of all ages and can even be handled by a 4 year old! She figured out most of the tasks by herself and only needed assistance a few times in game play actions.

I am very happy that we have this game!

What's great about it: This game is perfect for any child - it has an amazing array of puzzles & tasks

What's not so great: The professor talks too much, but can be moved forward with a click of the A

I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this game after playing it with friends. I found it super addicting. It is more fun to play this game with more people, so you can go up against eachother. My (younger) brother and I play it all the time, he likes it when he scores higher than me, it makes him feel smarter. Hehe. Its very entertaining, a great family game, and very easy to use. Plus it makes you use your mind.

What's great about it: Easy to use, good price, entertaining

This game is one of the best ever for Wii. It strengthens your brain, and is a lot of fun. The game is split up into 5 categories - Identify, Memorize, Analyze, Compute, and Visualize. All are fun and if you want to get your brain bigger, you should probabaly practice daily. It has lots of cool features, such as student records, and if you want, you can send your records to other Wii's for your friends to see. But watch out, as the professor will talk too much in this version and this is the only flaw, so buy, play, and enjoy.

What's great about it: Great Price, Great Game, Lots of Fun, Strengthens Brain, etc.

What's not so great: Professor talks too much

I would recommend this to a friend!

This game I find pretty enjoying, I have a fun time with the activities and it is a nice game to play to get your mind going.

What's great about it: Different difficulty settings, makes you smarter, fun multiplayer activities, only one controller needed, simple control

What's not so great: Multiplayer games can only be played in one difficulty setting at a time, not too bad though!

Honestyl, I would never recomend this game to any one and I have no earthly idea why it has such high ratings! Although it is very kid friendly (I am 13) my siblings and I always felt like I was doing homework or school work, anyway, if you are thinking of a present for a kid, get something more fun and interesting!

What's great about it: Easy to set up, good price

What's not so great: No fun, not interesting

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great game for competitive couples. We get really into this game, it can become addictive. Just be aware that this game isn't for the young children, it requires more dexterity and memory than you think.

What's not so great: none

I absolutely love this game. It splits the brain tasks into 5 catergories identify, compute, memorize, visualize, and analyze. During solo mode, in each of those catergories their are three games that strengthen that aspect of your brain. Each time you play you are given a score and a metal if you score high enough. There is a book which displays all of you metals. Also, you can take a test to see your strengths and weaknesses. They outline of your brain is also displayed.
In group mode, their are additional games. Mind sprint, mental marathon, and brain quiz can be played alone as well. I am someone who can not sit for long, but I played for 4 hours the other night. Warning: can be addictive. My daughters 6 and 8 love the games as well. My 4 year old is not quite ready yet.

What's great about it: can just sit and play, strengthens brain, any one over 6 can play

What's not so great: professor can get annoying

I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this for me (age 44), and find it extremely challenging. It is good brain exercise - keeps the Alzheimers away. However, much to my surprise, my 6 year old loves it! She plays over and over and is improving her score! This game is good for all ages, due to the skill challenge levels. I have been playing for a few weeks and it will take a while for me to get to Master and have the Professors brain weight.

What's great about it: easy to use, challenging, and exciting

What's not so great: Have to click through the professors report to play again

I would recommend this to a friend!

I regret having spent the money on this game. It was not at all what I would have expected. The games were ok but nothing that I would spend hours and hours playing. the concept was ok, but the overall game isn't all that fun or exciting.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

At first I was skeptical of how effective this game would really be at increasing my brain power, but it truly does. It will first help you to identify what parts of your brain you use the best, for example memorizing compared to math skills. Once you see what your strengths are you can then work on your weak points. Finally you take exams and compete against your friends to reach your highest potential!

What's great about it: Great way to strengthen your brain reflexes

What's not so great: Can create some obsessive competition

I would recommend this to a friend!

This is one of my all-time favorite video games. For people like me who love brain type games, this is perfect. I love these type of games where I have to think but they make it fun. I have both brain age games for nintendo ds and big brain academy. When I got my Wii, I had to have big brain academy for Wii. It's an extremely fun game and it keeps my brain in shape! A perfect addition to anyone's Wii game collection

I have owned the board game version of this game, which is based upon the NintendoDS version. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this game. It is fun and challenging for all ages, and it captures the spirit of the Wii - games for the community. I love to play this game with my family, and I occasionally play it alone. My wife and I rented this game, and we were hooked, so we bought it at full price. This game is a great buy. It is worth the cost, whatever cost you must pay to get it. If you like speed games and recognition games, you will love Big Brain Academy!
