Product Description
Sudoku makes its way onto the DS with Gridmaster.
Beginners will love the four in-depth tutorials that can be accessed at any time even in the middle of a game. Experts will appreciate the ability to highlight entire rows and columns with a single touch. And everyone will wonder how they survived without the ability to highlight all instances of the same number at once.
Special powers/weapons/moves/features: The game features puzzles in four difficulty settings (practice, easy, normal and hard), and also has a fun unlockable system where players earn stars by performing well. If they gain enough stars, they`ll be able to take a test and prove their skills. Pass the test to win a special award and open up even more puzzles.
Walk into any airport or train station and you`re likely to see someone with a sudoku book. The number-based puzzle game has taken the nation by storm, and now a dedicated sudoku title is coming to the Nintendo DS. Once you`ve played Sudoku Gridmaster, you`ll never go back to pen and paper again.
- Sudoku Gridmaster uses intuitive touch-screen controls that make solving the puzzles faster and easier than ever. Players simply touch the square they want to fill in, then touch the answer on the number pad. They also can choose to forgo the number pad and write answers directly on the touch screen.
- Sudoku Gridmaster features more than 400 sudoku puzzles, all of which were hand-picked by the sudoku masters at Nikoli the original creators of sudoku.
- How to progress through the game: Sudoku Gridmaster has plenty of helpful game-play features to help players solve even the most complicated puzzles.

Fun:
There are several aspects of this game which make it stand out from other sudoku games. There are two methods for completing the grids, by touching a number pad (this is extremely helpful as a number becomes greyed out when it has been entered in the grid 9 times), or by writing in with the stylus. So you can choose which method suits you best. There are 10 practice sessions where an incorrect entry comes up red which is very good for beginners. There are 400 puzzles ranging from practice, easy, normal and hard and a time record and scoring is kept so you can go back and repeat a puzzle to try and improve on your score. Hours of fun!! You can highlight numbers and lines in the grid to make it easier to see where you have completed. All in all, I totally love this version of sudoku and would recommend it 100% to both sudoku fans and newcomers to sudoku alike.

Fun:
The game cannot be faulted at all in providing exactly what is expected - a large number of Su Doku puzzles with an initial tutorial mode for those unfamiliar with the puzle , going all the way up to quite difficult . Game times are kept , and there is a star system based on how quickly the puzzles are completed . Completing the grid is by either writing the numbers in the boxes , or tapping on a panel beside the grid .There is space to actually 'pencil' in suggestions for numbers in boxes - I have done this when doing the puzzle in newspapers for instance .
So . It's pretty low on frills , but you get what you want - heaps of puzzles !

Fun:
This is a great game and it doesn't matter how bad your handwritting is cos you can play without ever writing a number!!!
Only problem is if you are buying a second hand copy I have not found a way to delete the previous persons record. All the games are still open and you can fully enjoy it so it is not a realy problem but if you like to track yourself you need a new copy.

Not the easy to use product I expected. Seems to start at a higher level than what could be called beginners. Read more

Sudoku - It's Sudoku
Great when you just fancy doing one of these and not wanting to carry a newspaper or magazine around with you. Good mental agility testing.
