Full review
As a 50 year old Mum, I thought I would never be caught using a nintendo but was persuaded by the advertising for the Brain Training game and bought myself a Nintendo DS. Some pyschology involved as my boys are still on GBA's and this way they would want use my DS and so play the game too. It worked! Then met up with my sister who had Big Brain Academy and discovered the fun of sharing this game over two DS's. Got home and bought this one for myself.
I won't go into details of the game as that's covered by other reviews. This game is more versatile than the Brain Training (though that is great too). More appealing to the wide range of ages in our family and great fun playing against each other. Have rated difficulty as average - start levels great for old brain's like mine and young kids too (we've tried it out on 8 year olds but younger would be ok too). Build up of level of difficulty is pitched just right so you feel you can improve.
Yes I've been "taken in" by the clever marketing but as a mum who felt her brain ceased functioning I've really found it good to get the cells going again - managed to get a platinum medal in one area which did the ego wonders and good fun comparing our final brain weight and types. I go to the gym 3 times a week for my body and now try to play Big Brain Academy as often for my brain.
