This is a great Wii game. It is different than just the interactive movable characters and really concentrates on the brain power. This game is super fun for a big group of people to compete and have fun with, as 8 people can play at one time. You basically race to compete with all sorts of your "brain power" against everyone elses "brain power". You can also play solo in this game. You can go in and out of several different areas in the "acadamy" and learn as you go. It isn't like school or anything like that, but yet it shows your brain power all the way. In the solo area, you cand take a five part test to see how big your brain is or go into the practice area to train in 15 different activities ... and earn practive medals. In the group area you have mental marathons, mind sprints and brain quizzes for up 1-8 people. You can see all of the "student" score boards to compae the test results of the students "enrolled" . You can send all of these through to other wii friends. The student scores are all shown in easy to read color bar graphs that represent the test results in each of the five mental categories... it is so much fun, and they don't even know just how much they are learning. The activites include Identify, Memorize, analyze, compute, and visualize. See how you do with this great learning, having fun, get moving game.
