This is quite an good game for parties. The only flop is it does not have lots of lasting appeal in it.

As most of these brain training games, it was fun in the beginning but after a while it kinda died out.

Pretty fun playing against someone as long as they are on the same level as you. If you are in college and playing against a 10 year old VS aint much fun :p

It's alright, gets a little boring, especially by yourself. The DS is much more fun.

It's more of a multiplayer game. You need to compete with someone else to enjoy its full potential.

Mostly a brain game to test how fast you can think. It tends to get really challenging. The controller is used for questions that are verbal and then you answer what the voice said. The voice isn't a perfect quality, but you can get an idea of what they are asking for in their orders. I wouldn't say the game is educational - more along the lines of perfecting the speed at which you can answer what you know. I played this game for 2 days. Perhaps if I had friends with my wii, I could get a challenge going with them.

Great game to keep you on your toes, and even better to play with any member of your family. Even my non-tech savy parents have no trouble diving in, and my mom plays it more than anyone else! Truly a great game for people of all ages.

A few things are annoying though. Once you are acclamated with the game, you really do not need the hand holding that the little tutorial man provides on a constant basis. Additionally, the game's simplistic nature leaves it bereft of some options you would come to expect to find easily with other games. There is no options menu, deleting unwanted record (perhaps from people who had sent them to you and do not need any longer) is as far as I have determined not possible, and once again the little tutorial man is annoying.

All in all, a must have for a Wii Household.

This is a really good game when you first get it, and then it gets kinda boring. The multiplayer feature is nice to see who can think faster xP

At first, I thought that this game was going to be kind of a kiddy game, but I bought it anyway and was surprised at how challenging it actually is! So far I'm stuck at a B-, and I'm working to get up to an A! I would highly recommend this game!
Not really a "game" as such, but a great party game all the same.
awesome game
it is pretty fun(i just like seeing how stupid people are). This is a really fun game for competition.

It's a fun family game and a good single player. But the game gets old pretty fast. Still fun.
again with the pointless games. thought this was going to be fun to play. it took me a week to figure out that it is really pointless. please nintendo i am begging you. innovative games please, not pointless games.

Great way to expand your mind like Brain Age does for the DS. Keeps you in check and gives a variety of ways to test your brain.
i thought it should be more

Fun for groups, or just to kill time.
For £19.99 this is ok

Good but boring
This game is very fun. My girlfriend and I are having a blast with it. I suggest that anyone who likes puzzle games and to be challenged to get it.

Unique and fun as a party game. I borrowed it, and would like to play it again... Not sure that I'd buy it though. Rent it first to see if you like fun little mind-testing games.
Not a bad game overall a little complicatied to find your way around but good by yourself and with others after

good game for the first time you go on it but after a while it gets boring, because you dont have a variety of games.

This game is actually really good and entertaining. It actually helps you analyze stuff better,etc.

But after you do the test there isn´t much more you can do except practice or take the test again, which gets boring after a while.

Entertaining at first, but gets old after a while. 3/5

An entertaing and educating game which will help you to train your brain, however that is one of the only features of this game and once you've trained your brain once in a day you may find it boring to test it again.

it`s ok for a bit of quick entertahnment, but it`s not really a game that has long term appeal, although it does help with hand eye co-ordinitation and reaction speeds (which will help with other games), aswell as giving your brain a bit of a work out.

I only think it's not fun because I always win against my friends. Or have to watch completely fail at it. I never really did single player. The multiplayer is great though.

This game is good, and here is my review.


THE BAD


This game still keeps going when you pause it. Yep, it takes what pausing is meant to be for, and throws it away.


Some minigames are for the multiplayer modes only.


Expert mode isn't on the test.


It gets old fast.


THE GOOD


It has fun minigames.


The multiplayer is fun.


The whole game is fun.


Dr. Lobe telling you your brain weight is OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


OVERALL


It's a very fun game while it lasts, and even though it has it's flaws, It's nice and great with friends!
