Big Brain Academy score predictions

Dang! I wanted this game :x

I predict major flop....Here's why.

http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/935575.asp?q=big%20brain%20academy

Yahoo games -- 70%

NGamerUK -- 59%

Ouch. This game might not even make it as high as 6 :?

This game doesn't have any hype so how can it flop?cakeorrdeath

Really? Not even A?

Another craptastic DS port.

this is another of those games the scores do not really mater most of the time......The people who like it are going to buy it....I would like to know the score but it $30 I am not expecting a high oneHarlockJC

Kind of like how terrible movies make alot of money no matter what critics say.

Another craptastic DS port.

It's actually more of a Wii-Make really.

Looking forward to it actually. Mainly because I'm starved for Wii games. Mario Party 8 was garbage, and Strikers isn't due out till July 30.

$30? No way, Nintendo thought it was a good idea to full-price this baby. You think for $50 USD they'd include widescreen support :\

I'm somewhat surprised no one cares. Brain Training sold VERY WELL on DS. I thought there would be some fans here. I guess not...AvIdGaMeR444

Any logical fan would still know that it's not going to score well here.

Whatever word you wanna use, I don't care. Its all the same to me. Nobody argues semantics like sheep.

"port, wiimake, multiplat, definitive version." Good grief...enough is enough. I am tired of these Motherlovin Words in my Motherlovin System Wars!

But Big Brain didn't. I'm sure everybody'd rather see Kawashima's Lame 3D rendered head than the amoeba professor guy. This game will sell through very well, but not to people that read System Wars I'll bet.

Psst, I own every platform out right now, definately not a "sheep". Did you see what I said about being starved for Wii games? The fact I said Mario Party was crap?

Sorry I didn't mean YOU, just I hate the word "wiimake" haha.

Yes...Just like that but then again I like most of the movies the critics hate.....I still think Waterworld was a good movie

I thought for some reason that it was a discount game...I may rent it at least I like the DS games and they only got a 7.0 so I guess that is what I expect from this...

PS> I love Mario Party 8 me and my family have been playing it all the time.

it sold very well but I think it only got a 7.0....We would not expect that Brain age for the Wii would do any better

The IGN preview was positive, much more so than the Mario Party 8 one.

It still won't score well here, but like MP8, should set the framework for other iterations to be improved upon.

Though I wonder how Nintendo would make a Brain Age game for Wii... it needs the mic IMO. :P

i'm not sure this is a game that can be scored :?
i'm getting it, looks greatnintendo-4life

Obviously it can be scored.

Over all was 61% fresh. Last I heard, its the over-all totalthat counts not just the big papers.

Way to prove nothing.

After all, it's the over-all total that counts, right?

Yes its the over-all that counts. Did I not make myself clear? Is someones opinin not valid because they don't work for The Post or the Daily News?

Sometimes its those smaller review sites that can more properly review certain genres that mainstream critics don't always seem to get.

I swear...system wars...I really hate this place sometimes.

I'll remember that next time you bash a game. Of course, I can always use that classic quote of yours, "You're only limited by your own perception".

Yes. Who decides whose opinion is or is not valid? Thats why rotten tomatoes uses ALL OF THEM for the total score which is what counts. Its the score that decides whether or not a movie is fresh or rotten.

Their is no such thing as a "professional" critic. They are just critics who get paid more then other critics.

Must you argue against EVERYTHING? Good lord in heaven saint peters church on the vatican.

Bread_or_Decide

That is, since there is no such thing as a professional critic.

There's a reason why they have a "cream of the crop" section.

So you would rather listen to the minority of over paid critics versus what the over all consensus is? How are they MORE correct then other critics? Its all just opinion. They don't have some magic formula that correctly tells you if a film is good or not. They are just rating films the same way everyone else does, their own opinion, which is not fact, and yes they can be just as wrong as anyone else. You can't prove they are mor right then anyone else.

Reall you are just infuriating. I am through talking with you.

I hope you argue this in the future.

Of course, you haven't realized the biggest hole in your argument, yet.

Do you watch alot of movies? Do you go to RT often? Have you been to the forums? People there take the over all score to be the most important score when discussing a film. The score projected on the front page isn't the cream of the crop score its the over all score.

All the reviews are from websites they deemed to be legitimate. User reviews have their own seperate place and thats for people who don't write reviews for web sites.

Do you have any ability to find common ground or are you going to continuously find some little reason to not agree with me on any singular point? You really have far too high a post count to be this petty.

Bread_or_Decide

Let's not talk about petty. The funniest part about all this is the fact that you are defending every last opinion when it comes to movies, but attack every other opinion on here that doesn't vibe with your own.

Gamerankings.com I believe is often used here when a GS score is not agreed with. I've never once said that it wasn't a valid source for reviews.What in gods green earth are you even trying to get at?

Yeah I love movies. More then video games. You just jump topics don't ya? You are just arguing with me for no reason whatsoever. You don't even care about what I'm talking about do ya? You just want to start an argument.

Bread_or_Decide

How am I jumping topics? We weren't talking about games to begin with, but a movie review site and your inconsistent posting MO.

It doesn't seem as if you mind debating whatever, anyway.

Whatever my opinion is, you seem hellbent on being the contrary. Coincidence? I will try to find middle ground even with someone I disagree with, sorry you don't read 100% of all my posts.

Inconsistent posting? Do you follow me around? Are you watching everything I say? What the heck do you care? Cause let me tell ya I don't give a crap about you or what you post or what you think. I suggest you take the same attitude toward me.

Way to derail the thread guys :P

Anyways, has anybody found this in stores today? Usually games like this (read: probable big seller) are shipped early to retailers so they can go on sale on the street date.

Checked Wal-Mart, EB and Zellers (Target in USA) already...
