Rising Star Games has announced Brain Cadets, a new WiiWare title designed to give gamers a thorough mental workout.
Brain Cadets challenges gamers to complete a number of tests under the watchful eye of the toughest Drill Sergeant around, in the race to advance their brain power and rise up the ranks to Sergeant, Lieutenant General and finally, Field Marshall.
Mini-games include Hell Calculation where sums must be done quick to take out the right targets; Hell Roll Call, where players must complete a variety of commands, staying alert to respond when their nickname is called; Hell March puts marching skills to the test coupled with ‘yes’ or ‘no’ questions; and Hell Shooting sees random targets being taken out in the correct order.
Fail to answer a question correctly and the Drill Sergeant will be on hand to dish out a punishment – push-ups and crawling, to running and endurance tests.
If you think you have the brain of a Mensa magician you can take on friends and family in a range of four-player games.
“Quick thinking and concentration are key to success in Brain Cadets,” said Martin Defries, managing director, Rising Star Games. “Gamers who think they’ve trained their brain to the max should take on the Drill Sergeant’s challenges to find out if they’re smart enough, or face punishment for failing to rise to the challenge.”
Brain Cadets will be available from the WiiWare download channel for 1,000 Wii Points on February 5.
