Game Vortex writes: "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? Make the Grade brings the popular Jeff Foxworthy-hosted game show to your computer in a pretty faithfully represented game. While it doesn't throw anything too extreme at the players, fans of the show will get exactly what they expect.
Visually, Make the Grade isn't all that bad. Foxworthy looks very recognizable, but his animations tend to leave a lot to be desired, while each of the kids have their own unique look. On top of that, your avatar is very customizable. You can change everything from gender, skin tone, hair style, body type and even clothing and accessories. While you won't really be able to make a character that looks just like you, there is enough variety to make someone who is decidedly different than your friend's avatar. "
In this series of OG Reviews of the Week, we will spend our time not complementing games, but roasting games that may do some things right, but inevitably wind up pissing you off. Today's game is "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader" for the XBLA.
Xbox360Achievements.org has revealed the achievements for THQ's upcoming release, Are you Smarter 5th Grader:Game Time. There are 30 achievements for the usual 1000 points.

I love seeing how much the challengers (and by extension, myself) have forgotten since they were 10 years old, and the entire hour is usually a refresher course on things I once knew but have long since forgotten. Therefore, I was understandably excited to get my hands on the PC game based on the show, but it wasn't long before my dreams were crushed like that of most of the contestants. Not only is Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? Make the Grade boring and shallow, but its production values are so low that it's actually hard to look at after a while. This is one game that dropped out of school way too soon."
