Big Brain Academy (DS) (Nintendo DS Games)

The second Brain Training title is Big Brain Academy, the final Touch Generation title to hit Europe for a little while. Nintendo will be hoping that the game will match the chart success of its older cousin, but does it deserve to do well or should...

While it might not be better than Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training overall, it certainly equals it. While Brain Training is a more serious affair, this wraps up the lighter side of learning nicely and helps to keep your brain fit with more of a sense of...

Fatten up your mind with another Nintendo brain game

Luckily, Nintendo is here to help with another in its series of brain training challenges

The games can be played in both Practice mode (sixty seconds of questions in one of three difficulty settings) and Test mode (one game from each of the five sections which are weighted together to produce a Brain Weight). Sadly, unlike its predecessor,...

Big Brain Academy (BBA) for the DS is the second in a line of "smartening" games for the DS. It is a shabby cousin to the other "smartening" game, Brain Age. One cannot avoid comparing the two games; not only are they from the same genre on the same...

I would recommend Big Brain Academy. It doesn't have as much as its esteemed cousin, Brain Age, but what it does offer is fun. You will quickly find a favorite game, and spend some exasperating moments trying to best your top score. And at $20, this...

Nice variety of games; Decent multiplayer; Looks cooler than Brain Age

But still lacks value and content; Random job titles; Few modes; No wild frat parties

Where Brain Age embraced function, Big Brain Academy prefers form. Brighter colors, goofy characters and quirky art make it a more pleasing way to break some neurons. The soundtrack theme loop can be a bit much, but since you only really play the game...

Big Brain Academy is the second of Nintendo's much-talked-about Brain Training titles (though it's not what's referred to as Brain Training 2; that hasn't made it to the US yet). Unlike the first, Brain Age, Big Brain Academy is not meant to be a...

There's a good amount of content in Academy. Though it features more than Brain Age, some people feel that it won't last as long, since you can play it as much as you want (unlike Brain Age, which has an artificially lengthened lifespan due to...

Enlarge your brain with an assortment of mind-massaging mini-games.

Variety of fun, easy to approach mini-games; friendly feel; nice multiplayer component

Weird ranking system doesn't make you feel any smarter; limited modes and activities

THE AMERICAN BIBLE CHALLENGE is produced by RelativityREAL for GSN, with RelativityREAL's Tom Forman and Embassy Row's Michael Davies serving as Executive Producers on the project. Nick Stuart and Maura Dunbar of Odyssey Networks are Consulting...

So quickly after their last brain-based hit, Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!, Nintendo and NST have followed up with the colorful Big Brain Academy. The questions at hand are numerous: what's with all of these brain games? Is Big Brain as...

Big Brain Academy is a much better game than Brain Age. There are more mini-games, each testing a specific area of mental activity. The addictive quality remains. The presentation isn't as serious and looks and sounds better. Really, the only thing...
