I love to play sudoku but this game just isn't up to par. The sudoku game I had on my cell phone 5 years ago was better than this. To move around in the cells you have to use the arrows or use the stylus and keep "clicking" the direction. I played it for the first time tonight and got a massive headache from the numbers. It's very difficult to tell the difference between the 3 and the 8 when you're in a hurry to solve the puzzle.
I love Sudoku, and so this was a game I had to have. I like the game itself, there are two styles of this game. One can select to play traditional Sudoku, with numbers. Or, one can choose to play Sudoku using symbols. However, I am not impressed with the graphics on this game. There are backgrounds for one to choose to use and most of them are samarai/ninja warrior looking graphics. It just isn't my cup of tea. There is one with Tigers and that is the one I am currently using.
I bought this game because I love Sudoku; however, I was a little disappointed that the game was not like Brain Age...Brain Age lets you know if you got something right, wrong, you can write small numbers, the numbers are larger and easier to read..It still does its purpose, I just had higher expectations.
I have many Sudoku games and have been doing Sudoku puzzles for years. There are times when I in the mood for a challenge and times when I'm not, so I do Beginner level puzzles. Well, Sudokumania for the DS really missed the boat in this area! It's "beginner" puzzles are much too challenging in my opinion and I think could cause a real beginner to get discouraged, which would be a real shame. I am a member of Mensa and cut my teeth on a Mensa Sudoku book a couple years ago, finishing even the "diabolical" puzzles eventually, so I think I am a pretty good judge of difficulty levels in this area. Just a warning.
I bought this because I love Sudoku. The advantage to this game is that there are an infinite number of puzzles. I prefer the layout of the game "Sudoku Gridmaster" over this game though, and if I had to choose one, it would be that one. The layout is the only thing that keeps this rating from being an excellent in my opinion.
