5 Stars entertainment
Wii is a neat interactive form of entertainment that eliminates the “couch potato” form of exercise. We have been surprised at how much fun it is to have 2 remotes and compete with each other in some of the fun games like the “cow race”. It is for the whole family from us grandparents down to our 5 year old grandson and everyone in between.

5 Stars more fun than expected
I had so much fun and laughes with this that I just could not put it away for the first day I had it.Well worth the money spent.Just the remote alone is worth it.

5 Stars Good Value
I purchased this Pkg. because we needed another remote (the basic Wii console only comes with 1). We (wife & 2 daughters ages 10 & can all enjoy the games & have 1 on 1 matches.

5 Stars This is great!
I really love this game. I play it alone and just have a ball.

Haven’t played with anyone else yet, but I’m sure it would be even more fun.

2 Stars Meh – Pass for Big Brain Academy
This is a jeopardy-like trivia game where families can work together to race the clock (e.g. answer 20 questions correctly before the time runs out!). We are able to complete a round in under 5 minutes – which makes this game great for quick play. The questions are categorized – books, sports, history, science… You do not get to pick the category, however. Contestants are kept engaged by shaking or waving their remote, jumping, or dancing to add time to the clock. In bonus round (answer 4 correct in a row), you add time to the clock through a game of tug-of-war.

Why this game was a miss:

1) All text – if your child is a slow reader or cannot read – playing is very difficult, especially as the answers are not labeled A,B,C,D – which would at least allow her to say A. Cow is right – and find the A.

2) Too heavy on the sports – ummm… yeah. I don’t know who scored how many touchdowns in what superbowl and neither do the kidlets – your mileage may vary

3) Too light on the science – it’s at a 5th grade level

4) Too heavy on the books – some are obscure, and I read ALOT

5) Lots of obscure questions within each category (who was raised where…) that I suppose were to keep parents interested – instead they just frustrated the kidlets

6) Question database too small – I saw repeats after the 2nd round

I love Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree as it is equally engaging and does not require super readers. While inexpensive, I would take a pass on Smarty Pants.

4 Stars Perfect game for family and friends of all ages!
This is a great game. I’ve played it many times. It is easy to control and easy to play. The questions are not stupid nor are they overly hard. The only down fall I feel is that they should have changed up the rounds with different rules and concepts, but having said that – this games is awesome!

Dear February Lady Sweater, I feel I owe you an explanation. Last week, when you were last in my arms, I commented that we were almost ready to take our relationship to the next level. I know, I know . . . it sent tingles down my spine, too. I had the outfit all planned out: new dark jeans, chic gray t-shirt with a hint of the white tank underneath just peeking out, cowboy boots that have never seen a cow . . . and you. Perfect plan, my sweet. But then something more alluring sashayed on by a
