Manufacturer's Description
With over 2000 different puzzles with increasing levels of difficulty, are you the one the solve them all. As well as the standard number tests, Essential Sudoku also includes variations on the addicitve craze using pictures and colours to make the challenge even more exciting. Great fun whatever your age or ability.
The picture puzzles (1000 of them!) are great if you've exhausted those found in Picross DS. The controls are a little dodgier (I remember having difficulty using the stylus), but if you use only the buttons for control it is much easier.
The Sudoku is another matter, as the handwriting recognition is totally broken. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to write a 5 that is not interpreted as an 8 or a 9. Big problem, and I have yet to solve one Sudoku puzzle because of it!
Being a major fan of suduko, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this game. I had images of the playability of the suduko section of Brain Training.
This is nothing like it.
The bright colours and moving background make this game almost impossible to play, and difficult to concentrate on for very long. Added to this, are the badly formatted menus and bold lettering and numbers which all mean that this game uncomfortable to look at for very long.
This game boasts 1000 puzzles each of Sudoku and "Picross" and for a significantly lower price than similar games. The sudoku is standard and becomes harder as you progress. The "picross" puzzles are sometimes a little far-fetched in what they are supposed to be depicting, but there are so many - 100 to a "theme" e.g. animals, science - and they are multicoloured which adds to the challenge. Admittedly the squares are small and may cause problems for those with poor eyesight and an unsteady hand, but if this is not an issue then this game is great value for money.
A pity I had not read the reviews on this game, after playing the one on brain training, I thought a Sudoku game on its own would be far superior.How wrong , thankfully I had not payed the new price for it It will come in handy for my 12 year old niece to practice with
