First and for most Big Brain:Academy is not really a game but a compilation of minigames based on categories ranging from memorize,analyze,logic,to calculate. You can either choose to practice and choose any minigame from any category and earn medals such as bronze and gold. But the real joy of the game comes to play on the test mode wherin you're given a set of five test from all categories and all of which is timed and mind numbing. These test sessions get intense when you make a mistake and you start hating on yourself and scream foul words while on the comute. And after each test you will be given a weigthed scale based on you're performance doing the answers and the speed of which you answered them. More than likely when you recieve you're score you won't be happy because the game will make you feel half as smart as you tought you were and this will motivate you to get a higher score and continue playing. This game won't last you a very long time if you play it on long stretches and will probably won't keep you interested towards the game after you feel that you have gained the higest possible score you can get. But with that said this game is a great buy for people who play on short bursts and are looking for something to test their wits and with the $20 dollar price tag how can you refuse on such a deal???
