IGN: Brain Challenge Review

Overall, Brain Challenge on WiiWare is a faithful translation of a game that was already solid and fun on the DS and Xbox Live Arcade, among its many other editions. And Gameloft’s port of the project to Wii isn’t a quick and thoughtless job, either — it’s polished, works perfectly well with the new Wii Remote pointer controls and intregrates your Mii characters in a more natural way than many other WiiWare titles have. It’s surprising that Nintendo didn’t capitalize on this idea itself, bringing out a WiiWare version of either its Brain Age or Big Brain Academy franchises — but Gameloft beat the Big N to the punch, so if you’re a fan of either of those series, check it out for 1000 Wii Points.
