This review is from: Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader: Make the Grade (Video Game)

My little girls are 6 1/2 and 7 1/2 and are at an age where they believe they have all the answers. They also think 5th graders are incredibly smart and they enjoy a challenge. The game is easy to navigate and is interspersed with easy to difficult questions. They love playing the game and trying to aspire to 5th grade status. It is challenging but not too much so for inquisitive little girls. I recommend it.

2.0 out of 5 stars A poor trivia game, March 21, 2010

This review is from: Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader: Make the Grade (Video Game)

Perhaps for the paucity of actual trivia games on NDS I believed this be a fitting substitute. It isn't. The interface is poor, the graphics are ugly, and the questions are too limited (on my second run I ran into repeats from my first). Furthermore, there just wasn't any feeling of accomplishment when 'beating' the game.

I'll give this (a kind) 2/5 because it roughly copies the show's formula (at least Foxworthy is in it), and I admit it may be targeted towards children. If you want a thoughtful game, you're much better off with brain age, or professor layton.
