Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree IGN and Yahoo reviews
Thinking of getting Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree for the Wii? Here are some reviews from a variety of sources in the intarrrrnet.
Let start off with IGN which rated the game a 7.6 out of 10:
Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree is largely a success, which makes it — like Wii Sports — a surprisingly difficult project to rate. As everyone knows, the title falls into the emerging "casual" sector — a target demographic less concerned with graphics and more concerned with accessibility, or so we're told. From that perspective, the title is great — it is both easy to pick up and really fun to play, especially with friends.
IGN has high hopes for the franchise. They see this title as a strong introduction to Wii Gamers and it will only ge better as the sequels refine it even further.
Next up is Yahoo! Games:
Big brains are certainly desirable, but big price tags are a different matter, and Wii Degree's standard $49.99 asking price is a little hard to stomach. While the game is tons of fun, there's just a handful of minigames and not much else, which puts it in a different class to other full-priced options. At $20 or $30 (similar to the DS games), it'd be a much easier recommendation. Kudos to Nintendo for the simplicity, multiplayer, and online support — cut the price a little and it would be a winner in the casual party game stable.
Yahoo! scores the title a solid, if unspectacular, 3.5 out of 5.
