DESCRIPTION

Those who have trained their brain to a healthy age can now test its "weight" in Big Brain Academy, the second title in Nintendo䀙s medley of mental mini-games. The title includes a series of brain-stimulating exercises designed to improve thinking, memorization, computation, analysis, and identification. After taking an initial test to identify cognitive strengths and weaknesses, players will receive a brain weight score that will hopefully increase over time with daily practice in each of the five categories.

Academy features a total of 15 mini-games and two play modes: test and practice. Each test involves trying to correctly answer as many questions as possible within a time limit. From that point on, players can practice individual mini-games to win bronze, silver, gold, and platinum medals. All activities utilize the handheld䀙s touch-screen interface, from tapping on objects that weigh the most to drawing lines between two characters. Big Brain Academy also supports up to eight players in a race to see who has the "largest" brain. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“This is my favorite brain training game for the Nintendo DS, beccause it's fun, challenging and has a nice multiplayer mode. But it doesn't offer statistics about your intellectual improvement, because it's more fun-orientated than educational.”
