Even though Big Brain doesn't EXCACTLY provide mini-games that make you smarter, it is a very fun and challenging game.

I know Nintendo would never do this but I would probably name this game "Common Sense Academy" based on what you're doing. But I must admit, it's not the easiest game. Your friend might ask you, "Hey, what's your grade on that game?" and if they had played the game then they won't laugh but if they haven't, they will probably laugh once they hear you say C or something. Still, the game really can't have bad graphics, probably because you aren't really moving or any of that. Maybe the game could have had more mini games and categories, but it all still fits in quite nicely. This was my first DS game, and I think it's a great first for others as well. It will get you used to the touch screen and how to use the stylus. Well, Big Brain Academy is a great game with great graphics and is good as a first DS game.
