On the downside, multiplayer is present in Mega Brain Boost, but requires everyone to have a copy of the game in order to play, a far cry from Big Brain Academy’s set-up. Likewise, while Big Brain Academy has separate test and practice modes, there’s no such designation here. Each game is a test within itself, but there’s no real overall ranking system, just how well you do in the individual games.
Mega Brain Boost is a mixed bag, offering some new mini-games, but really, it’s just more of the same old crap. If you really, really like Big Brain Academy and must have more of the same, then this might be for you. Otherwise, it’s not exactly a must-have, especially if you already have Big Brain Academy for your DS.
Pros: Offers some new twists on the old brain-training games.
Cons: Lacks a real test mode like Big Brain Academy. Multiplayer requires all players to have a copy of the game.
Mega Brain Boost is rated E (Everyone) by the ESRB.
