Wiiview 3.0

We have been playing Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree; the game play is a little off putting. It is set in a school and your main interaction is with Dr. Brain. A blob like figure bouncing on a scale. The games are challenging and some times down right hard even on the easy settings. If you mess up then you go on to the next challenge no redo.

The cartoon like animation makes this game seem more for kids then adults, the classic market for these type of think hard, work your brain type game. If you mess up Dr. Brain is down right brutal.

Scoring is based off of how much your brain weighs. While an interesting scoring idea this is frustrating because the only comparisons available are fictional Dr. Brain or you other players. My largest complaints about the game play is the limited head to head play and only one active controller.

Over all we would give the game 2 Wiimotes.
