PlayStation has the BUZZ! series, Xbox has Scene-It?, and now (although it does have to share with PlayStation 2) Wii has Disney TH!NK Fast, henceforth dubbed "DTF" as it is too mind-taxing to type out a name with punctuation smack-dab in the middle of it. (As a side note, yes, all trivia games must have either an exclamation or question mark in their titles).
As one can expect from a title bearing the Disney trademark, DTF is a game that's not only kid-friendly, but fun for the whole family. Unlike other games in the genre, the Wii version (which is the one I played) doesn't require the use of custom peripherals: the Wii Remote is sufficient, however not used as one might expect."
GamerFitNation's Brittany Figaro writes about educational video games for kids. "Video games are fun, but to have your kids learning things while playing a video game is a win-win for parents.
After looking around Toys-R-Us with one of my friends, I thought about video games that educational. She just bought her little one a DS, and one game that caught my eye was Brain Age. I’m a huge Sudoku fan, so I had fun playing that. I gave her little girl a challenge, but one that was attainable. That matters. So here are five games that are educational for your kids for DS or Wii."
This game is packed full of great Disney trivia, but it also gives the less knowledgeable people a chance to win too. With tons of Disney characters to choose from, different game show locations and a punneriffic Genie host, players are able to spend hours playing game after game.
Vooks writes: "Disney's Think Fast is an entertaining, but bare-bones trivia game which caters well to its target audience of younger gamers and their families. It features very simple and easy to understand gameplay, a decent variety of questions and an excellent audio/visual presentation, but is a little light on game modes and features. It is maybe skewed too much to the younger crowd, but is certainly something that can be enjoyed for at least a little while by everyone."
