What this game lacks in content it makes up with purely fun gameplay which can be enjoyable in certain scenarios!!
Story~ The story surrounding Big Brain is just a shallow and horribly placed together as the graphics are. When you start the game the principle of Big Brain Academy greets you, tells you how to get started and thats basically it for the story department. Presentation / Interface ~ Ok, I had to add another category because the interface is so simple and basic that again it's a crime that this game is being sold at full price. Now I understand that Nintendo is trying to appeal to casual gamers but that shouldn't give them the excuse of creating the most lackluster interface in the world. Sound~ The sound effects are decent at best with nothing out of the ordinary.
Gameplay~ The game is broken down into different categories which provide different types of gameplay. Nothing is complex; every game revolves around pointing the Wii-mote at the screen and pressing the A button. This is the biggest appeal as well as drawback to the game. On the one hand, anyone can play this game; your 80 year old grandma can play.. that is if she can raise her arm high enough to place the pointer on the screen. Like wise, the game is so simple and easy that after a couple of hours you have completely explored the entire game. Now the fact that there is no online greatly limits the lasting value. This game not being online limits your fun to friends or family members which is fine for the first couple of weeks. Once the ultimate winner is crowned there will be no incentive to continue playing this game. This brings me to the end; yes thats it for this review I mean this game is so bare bones there is nothing to review. The game last about 4 hours and the only situation that is fun is the first couple of weeks when everyone is new and the competition is completely crazy. Once you master the games which takes about 2-4 tries the game isn't as fun. Nintendo could have really done something with this game and made the online a window to creating new content or just connecting to other users. Instead this game stands on its own merits and It doesn't have enough to even stand!!
