Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? (Nintendo DS)[Edit][Talk]
Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? (Are You Smarter than a 10 Year Old? in Europe) is a video game based on a real American Fox quiz show of the same name. The game is primarily composed of quiz challenges and puzzles, with 23 categories and over 3,000 questions. The questions are based on school subjects, such as astronomy, maths and science etc., and can be selected from different grades from 1-5.
The game had picked up a rather disappointing reception, with the scores ranging around 10-50%. The game had failed to live up to the high expectations of the real quiz show; it was criticized for its dull repetition with many of the questions being repeated after again, particularly with maths-based questions, and the fact that the game did little to encourage the player to continue playing it more. Amongst the negatives, the positives of the game were that there were a large variety of questions, and that the game also interestingly came with a calendar-sensitive feature, in which the contents on the blackboard on which the questions were written on would change depending on the theme of the month. Overall, the game was criticized for being shallow and failing to live up to the standards of the real quiz show.
