Review: Simple, Easy Fun! - Big Brain academy was first released on DS years ago and entertained many people by being a simplier - yet more fun - version of Dr Kawashima's brain training. This one is suitable for kids and sets tasks to the player such as remembering sounds, figuring out a simple water and pipe puzzle, or computing some hard maths. This game is fun and easy to play - and even challenging for both adults and children alike. The graphical features come in child-like illustrations and I think this is what put most adults off; let me say, that when this was first released, I imported it from Japan and had a ball. My nieces and nephews loved playing this game. I even brought the English version a few weeks ago from desertcart as the game is great fun to play and I had unfortunately lost my previous version. The game features 5 sections - such as compute (mental problems) and memorise (memory puzzles) - and you are rated in these sections by 'weight' (bare with me).. these weights are then added together to give you a total weight and grade on your brain and its performance. You are then graded on this weight - and given a shiny medal to show off on your profile. Sme fo the problems to solve for platinum medals are also hard! This sounds ever-so-familiar with the likes of the 'training' series and Kawashima's games on DS, but I have always preferred this version. Even as an adult, I still haven't gotten all of the platinum medals, and the game is good for a quick 10 minute blast - when on short commutes or even (sorry!) on the toilet. This game was great on release and is great now, ad for the price, you can't really go wrong! If you enjoy taxing brain games, and if you have children to join the ride - I would recommend this as its fun, cheap and simple to play. Good stuff! 4**** Review: Grow Your Brain! - This game is so much fun! I bought this for my wife and she hasn't stopped using it. The game is so addictive! There are various exercises which are all aimed at working out your "brain age" - dependant on how well you score in the game itself. You have to do well to unlock other features within the game - hence why this game is so addictive. I would disagree with other reviewers who say the games are repetitive. Not only is it suitable for children , but everyone can take part, and you do feel as if you are training your brain - albeit I am not convinced it actually does. Loads of fun - highly recommended! ## Features - Big Brain Academy is a series of minigames that are designed to exercise the brain. - Test mode will quiz players in five areas: thinking, memorization, computation, analysis and identification. - Features a riotous multiplayer mode in which up to eight people can play with a single game card. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000EGELQ4 | | Best Sellers Rank | 18,084 in PC & Video Games ( See Top 100 in PC & Video Games ) 214 in Nintendo DS Games 2,808 in PlayStation Legacy Systems | | Customer reviews | 3.7 3.7 out of 5 stars (437) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | Yes | | Item model number | 45496737085 | | Language | English | | Product Dimensions | 13.7 x 12.4 x 1.5 cm; 18.14 g | | Rated | Ages 3 & Over | | Release date | 7 July 2006 | ## Images ![Big Brain Academy (Nintendo DS) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tSXtr4UHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple, Easy Fun! *by D***N on 31 October 2013* Big Brain academy was first released on DS years ago and entertained many people by being a simplier - yet more fun - version of Dr Kawashima's brain training.
