Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree shares plenty with its Nintendo DS ancestor, but transitions to the Wii nicely. The more colorful sibling to Brain Age features a prettier presentation and makes for a surprisingly fun minigame showcase broken up into five categories familiar Big Brain Academy DS fans.
How is it different from the handheld version? The game features Mii integration and allows players to share their Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree scoring data via the WiiConnect24 service. It also takes advantage of the Wii remote in one unique way. Holding the Wii remote like a telephone, players receive take-out orders through the Wii-mote speaker and tick off food items onscreen. Simple, but clever. Much of the rest of the gameplay involves simply pointing to items on the screen.
It's a solid multiplayer game and better than I expected in that regard. Those who have played the DS version to death, however, may find much of it too familiar.
