I pre-ordered this from Best Buy. I've played it just a bit on my friend's DS which I would say was pretty fun. Can't wait for it to get here.

I can't wait for this....I keep tacking on more semesters before I graduate college, and at least i'll be able to get a degree before then.....Here I come corporate world

I'm planning on getting this as well. I would be buying it today but I just had to send my Wii off for repairs. My two year old stuck a cardboard pog in the disc drive and I couldn't get it out.

terrible timing b/c I've been looking forward to Big Brain for quite a while. My wife and I love the DS version and with Wii Degree we can go head to head.

Check out the IGN review here

There are also some good game play videos of the multiplayer mode on IGN i suggest checking them out.

The basic gist of the game is that you do mini brain challenges in 5 different catagories (Identify, Memorize, Analyze, Visualize, Compute.) For each catagory there are 3 different mini challenges that you could end up getting. Based on how fast and accurately you complete the challenges you will get your "Brain Weight", a letter Grade, and a brain type. The games are incredibly addictive on the DS and my assumption is they will be on the Wii. The best part about the Wii version will be the multiplayer. I can't wait. Hope this helps.

I think I am gonna get it from Circuit City, its only $40.

Phatern · 06-13-2007, 06:44 AM

Wow. I just got an email saying that my order has been backordered. I didn't think this was going to be that much of a seller. Now I have to wait an extra 2 F***IN WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LowTek · 06-13-2007, 07:03 AM

Circuit City has 12 on hand, I had to ask to get it though, it was not out, and they had no ad up.

I got it, and have been playing for like the 2 hours, fun single, and multiplayer so far. Not very in depth, the hard levels are not extremely hard. Good game, but glad I payed only $40.

deity_link · 06-13-2007, 07:12 AM

I don't reckon it'll be any good, the type of game that it is only works for handhelds imo

WiiWrestle · 06-13-2007, 07:16 AM

I might rent it,looks good,not worth buying though

LowTek · 06-13-2007, 04:42 PM

One of those games that I am glad to have in my library so that I can play when there is a group of people around.

Also, its another great game for non-gamers.

Like I said though, I am glad I did not pay $50 for it. Another Wii game that its content does not match the price tag, I am getting used to that.

WiiZero · 06-14-2007, 05:18 AM

Yeah they are all good just not long enough

mrpbjnance · 06-14-2007, 06:18 AM

does anyone know what the age level of the games are... is it good for young kids (2nd grade) or are the problems to difficult?

WiiZero · 06-14-2007, 06:27 AM

I would say around that age having only played a little bit let's see second grade that would be 8 or 9 well that might be a little young but like the one guy said even the hard ones aren't hard and if s/he isn't a gamer s/he shouldn't have a problem doing it on easy
