One of Nintendo’s new brain-busters for its
NintendoDS is Big Brain Academy to help test your IQ and
reflexes so everyone can now test who’s smartest out of the bunch.
All operated by the NintendoDS’s
Touch Screen, the basic game or test is divided into five
categories; Compute, Analyse, Memorise, Think and Identify.
Each has certain time limit and all are down to
speed and brain power to see how many can be done right before the
time runs out.
For most it’s a simple case of maths
or memory, for instance, under Identify there are simple matching
shapes to join-up from single to groups. Memorise would flash-up
numbers and shapes in a certain order to test the old grey matter or
 Compute
gives a certain amount of blocks to count and remember.
After going through all five of the
sections it is time for the results, how brainy will you be; top of
the class or the class clown? There are two scores, firstly is your
brain weight in grams; the higher the weight the smarter you are and
higher the Final Score becomes. Then the Final Score, rated A as the
highest going down to B, C, D and so on, with a comparison being
made to someone famous (one gamer getting Michelangelo a lot).
This is Nintendo trying to push the
NintendoDS out to a wider market and by the looks of things at the
E3 stand, it well might work. It’s another addictive game from them
which has everyone coming back for more to improve their times and
up the old IQ score a bit further, as we all love to compete against
each other. Another hit on their hands. |
