This game is better than Brain Age in every single way imaginable, and it is practically a steal at twenty dollars.

What Big Brain Academy does is make you realize whether or not your brain is in good shape. Most people cannot tell if their brain is in good shape because there is no physical change that they notice. This game also proves that not all video games need a colorful background to be good.

Playing Big Brain Academy is as simple as writing something with a pencil. The best part of it is that you do not need to press any buttons. Even if you are new to video games, people will still be able to learn how to play Big Brain Academy incredibly fast.

No matter how young players are, they will still be able to beat people older than them. I was playing against my older sister who claims that she is a genius, but according to our results, I actually found out that I was smarter than her. Just playing against your friends and competing for the highest score is fun. If Big Brain Academy was a real school, I would attend it every day.

People may realize that they are very intelligent in some categories, and they may also realize that they need work in other categories. Big Brain Academy allows you to train your brain in five different categories. Each category features three mini games.

Every time you play Big Brain Academy, Doctor Lobe will tell you a nice hint before you start the video game. These hints are very useful in every day life, and I found myself trying to do some of the things he suggested. Doctor Lobe has his own unique personality, and he has even made me chuckle a few times.

Big Brain Academy is the best brain video game out there, and its multiplayer mode only strengthens that statement.
