| EA Announces Nintendo DS Games Based on Brain Quest The Casual Entertainment label of Electronic Arts has announced plans to bring America's #1 educational bestseller, Brain Quest, to the Nintendo DS handheld system, just in time for back-to-school this September. In partnership with the New York based Workman Publishing Company, EA will release two Brain Quest games centered on the curriculum-based series that has sold more than 28 million copies: one for third and fourth graders, and another for fifth and sixth graders. Staying true to the curriculum-based card deck series, the Brain Quest video games are loaded with over 6,000 unique questions in each game, developed specifically for the third/fourth and fifth/sixth grade levels and can keep kids entertained whether in the car, at home, or while waiting for the school bus. The game's Brain Mode provides quick to the fun action that enables kids to jump right in, immersing themselves in fast-paced quiz games, as they answer questions on their favorite subjects: English, history, math, science, and geography. Brain Quest adds another element to the fun — a Quest Mode where players follow a light story that pits them against successively more difficult challenges in each category. Additionally, the game's Multiplayer Mode allows players to challenge their friends and siblings or play cooperatively. Throughout the game, players who answer questions correctly score points to redeem collectibles that can be unlocked by winning achievements. These collectibles can then be used to customize up to six scenes in the game. Both Brain Quest games will be available September 2008 in North America. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Game News :: home page |
