IGN writes: "Despite not being a tremendous trivia nut, I can recognize the potential for trivia/quiz games and why they would be so addictive to info junkies. Unfortunately, Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? Make the Grade is not only a poor trivia game but it's just not well put together in any way. There's really something to be said when I reviewed my notes before writing this article and found that all of my comments were listed in the "negative" section and the "positive" section was blank.
If you're not familiar with the Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? television show, Jeff Foxworthy hosts and guides one contestant through a series of grade school questions for money. A "class" of school kids is on standby and come up one at a time to help the contestant answer questions, which are categorized by subject. During the course of the game, the contestant can fall back on a few "cheat" options, including peeking at his or her 5th grader's answer, copying it directly (which automatically locks him or her into that answer) or the contestant can just be saved once by the fifth grader if the contestant answers incorrectly but his temporary partner is right."
