Not impressed with Big Brain!!!

The thought behind the game was with good intention I am sure. The fact that the children are being graded and reminded that their brains haven't grown since their last "test" I believe to be terrible. I am really glad we rented the game instead of buying it. I have three very competitive children and for them to be graded and compare themseleves against each other (reminder:it is only a game!) does not quite create positive self esteem and harmony in our home. Fun educational games presented in a very poor manner!

Yawn

This was fun for a while but it really is a one note game. It goes no where.

Amazon STINKS!!

I preordered this game from Amazon THREE WEEKS before the release date and I receive the game a WEEK after the release date! WTF is the point of preordering something weeks in advance if you get it late?

i love it!!

I can feel myself get smarter! its fun by yourself AND with a group, AND with one other person! My boyfriend and I compete to see who's the "smartest."

I am of course.

Great For Young Children!

Okay, I don't know if I have a precocious 4-year-old or not, but this is the single Wii game that she plays with any success. She is not reading yet so this limits the games she plays, but there are some in which I can read the options for her to choose from. The math games are also too difficult for her, although those are the ones I enjoy the most. I am happy that she enjoys the games, some of which test memory, analysis skills, and visual recognition.

As for myself, an adult, the game is amusing in small doses. There come points in which I am unsure as to how to improve my overall score - for some games it easier than others. I had the DS Big Brain Academy as well, and I prefer the Wii version. My daughter also enjoyed the DS version, too.

If you have a young child and would like them to play a game on the Wii, I recommend this game.

This is a very educational game .My grandchildren are home schooled and have played the game and learned more.In the beginning they had to be shown how to do the various exercises but caught on quickly.It has enhanced their thinking powers.

Not Enough Variety

This game is fun, but it lacks enough multiplayer activities, there's only one mode that allows the use of two remotes. There are only 15 minigames to play and none are really that great. For a DS game this might be acceptable, but on the Wii, for $50 I would expect much more variety in the minigames. There isn't really much to do in this game, but it's cool how it ranks your brain in 5 different categories. Overall, I would not suggest it because there is not enough to keep you occupied.

Simple fun!

This is a fun game.
Good for parties too.
Too bad the multiplayer aspect isn't as great as I would have liked it. You can have multiple players in a team but only two at a time can compete simultaneously. Then you have to swap between your team mates.
Overall, it's fun.

Lots of fun!

This is a very fun game to play, especially for children. It really makes you work your brain and have fun at the same time.

Good game for thinks, but needed more.

I got this game mostly for my wife. She likes things that tweek her brain. This game does just that. We both enjoy this game, it just seems that there isn't enough there. There are degrees of difficulties, but it would have been a better game if there were more to do. I recommend this game to those who want to give there brain a workout, or who are looking for something other than "mindless video games" as some people call them.
This is a game for the brain!
