May not be for children under 12

This is a great game for the Wii....for Adults. Not sure it's for kids under 12 as its a bit complicated. Certain questions are grade school level such as when you're supposed to pop the balloons from lowest to highest in number and the numbers are -21, -1, 67, 78, 85. Not all mini games are for 2+ players, but the ones that are, it's great head to head competition.

Fun for all

Our whole family just loves this game. Even my 6 year old can do a great job in each category! My husband and I love doing the mental marathon's together to see who can get done the fastest! You can also play against others who aren't available if you are playing singly. The computer will play how the other person would play if they were actually playing based on their history. It's a very cool, fun game that anyone can play!

fun game!

I bought this game for my husband from his wishlist. It turned out to be a fun game that we both enjoy plus great for parties! We had our friends over and compared our "brains". It was a blast seeing what each other was good at or not so good. The commentary is a bit tedious to go through after awhile but that's what the "A" button is for! This is about our 7th game to get for the Wii and it was worth the purchase! There are lots of options on it to keep us entertained for awhile. I was worried that this seemed more oriented towards kids and we'd go through it fast but it doesn't seem that way (maybe that says something about our intelligence but I don't want to go there!).

Really entertaining

I'm not sure how much you actually learn from this game that helps you in the real world, but this is a very fun title. Its one of those games that, after you've learned how to play the different puzzles, anyone in the family can do it. We recently had this game on a family holiday and found that it was a fun way to foster friendly competition.

Big Brain Academy, Possibly the Best Wii Game!

Big Brain Academy is awesome! Big Brain Academy requires reflexes, smarts, and memorization. You need to work hard to get a good grade. I haven't gotten a perfect score yet but I think it will be worth it. It is really good family fun. You can pick up some skills from Big Brain Academy and it will be fun to practice and then challenge your friends and beat them at it. Unless of course they have the game too. Almost all of my family has signed up for Big Brain Academy and we can play it for hours! I don't regret getting the game at all and I highly recommend it.

Good Clean Family Fun

This game is loads of fun for the whole family. Even small kids can play most of the games, and the thinking skills should be part of every school curriculum. So many of the games for Wii are physically intense that we find we'll go back to Big Brain Academy to relax a little. However, we find that the thinking levels are intense in a different way and a different kind of workout entirely!

Kind of boring after awhile

About 15 different games to test your brain. After awhile it gets kind of tedious. Not worth $50 bucks.

Fun for all!

I'm a 'puzzle-and-game' freak so this was a must-have for me. I had a ton of fun but wish there were more games to do. All-in-all, a thumbs-up!

Great game, too much chatter

This game is probably the most fun Wii game we have played aside from Wii Sports. Everyone in the family has a good time with it, from our 4-year old to the parents. A couple of complaints would be that it does not appear possible to have one of the kids compete against the adults, but choose Easy level tasks for the kids and Hard/Expert tasks for the adults -- that would make the competitions much more balanced.

The other main complaint is that there is A LOT of chatter between attempts -- which is great when you are learning to play, but there should be a way to disable most of that chatter once you have played the game a bit.
