What It Is

Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? is a new video game based on the hugely popular television show by the same name. Players will test their knowledge by trying to answer questions that every 5th grader should know.

Why Is It Fun

The game includes 23 categories and more than 3000 questions, all from grade school textbooks. Each individual game is made up of ten questions, and, similar to the show, players can choose when to use Peek and Copy cheats from their five classmates to advance to the next round in their goal to win a million virtual dollars.

Who's Going To Want It

Chances are good that the people who will want this game are already fans of the show. However, that doesn't mean its only going to be fun for the TV show's fans. Anyone who enjoys trivia challenges might have a good time playing this video game regardless of whether they have seen the show or not.

What To Be Aware Of

The PC version of Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? is in stores now. The Nintedno DS version is scheduled to arrive in stores on November 19, 2007.

Like the TV show, Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? the video game, features the comedian, Jeff Foxworthy. If you don't care for his comedy, than you probably won't care much for either the show or this game.
