Big Brain Academy

Another quiz game in a clever package

There is nothing wrong with BBA, but if you own Brain Age, or Brain Boost, you really already have this game. Yes, it is different in presentation, but virtually the exact same game as these others.

One major plus is the price. You can get this and similar games for about twenty bucks - new. If you own an DS you should own one or two of these games. They're fun and different. However, if you already own a similar game, spend your game money on something different!

You'll find BBA a little less pretentious than Brain Age. Maybe I'm being too hard on it but BA acts like this is some kind of scientific measure of your brain's health. This is nonsense.
