Brain-Mania!
It's a no-brainer to not buy this fabulous Brain game. This is actually published and partially developed by Nintendo themselves, just like the acclaimed Brain, Maths and Sight Training games on DS and the earlier Big Brain Academy game, also on DS.

Lose yourself in a fun, party adventure, where the teacher is unusually fun and the Wii Remote talks to you, encouraging you.
This is a must have title, like everything Nintendo publish...

A little repetative
This must be great for those under the age of 11. Not so great for the 'mature student' looking for a good alternative to 'Brain Training' type of games.

Upon finishing each practice session you have to get through a few screens of repeating dialogue which can sound condescending to the grown ups. That said, the training looks deceptively simple and is challening enough to improve visuo spatial skills alongside speed.

Excellent game, shame about annoying instructions
This game is a fun way to excercise the brain. The main downside is that you must endure long, tedious, repetitive and annoying rumblings in the form of instructions. This unnecessary addition to the game (what on earth were they thinking?) can put gamers, especially kids off; therefore only three stars.

You've played it on the DS now play it on the Wii
It's cool. Pretty much the same as the DS vesion in terms of the puzzles. However it is quite funny to play against someone particually family members!. Not sure it would be a game i would keep coming back to on a daily basis but certainly worth a shot. To be honest i play my DS version more because its portable.

Boreing!!!!
I originaly thought that this game would be a solid addition to my games catelogue for the wii, but I was more than a little dissapointed.
It is the same old thing over and over again,as previous comments have stated it all comes down to how quick you are, and unless you have speed on your side this game will reach a certain stage were you can go no further.
In retrospect I wish i had saved my cash for another game!
