SUDOKU
I THOUGHT THE SUDOKU GAME MIGHT BE LIKE THE BRAIN 2 DS LITE GAME, BUT NOT EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.

Excellent!
Great game for the DS. I like how you can pencil in possible numbers and also like that it gives you the number combo possibilities for kakuro (I wouldn't play kakuro otherwise). Because of this game I now like kakuro. I wish this was available for the pc also.

Very close second.
I am in agreement with many of the reviewers here--that Platinum Sudoku is very good but comes in second to the sudoku provided in brain age.

The interface is somewhat annoying--it seems like a lot of tapping in order to get the possible numbers entered. And I agree that the default font is somewhat hard to read. I appreciate that there is a left-handed set up for the number pad.

Overall, I think I have already gotten my money out of this game, and I've only had it for around a week.

Endless puzzles
I really like this game. Sure, we could do without the "coach", but I just ignore them. I mainly play the sudoku puzzles. Even when you finish the levels, there is another section with endless amounts of puzzles from each level. I don't think I will ever finish them all! So, I will never get tired of this game.

I also have both Brain Ages, but I don't like writing the numbers. And I don't like the zooming in and out on Brain Age. This game, you can use buttons instead of writing. I find it is faster because it doesn't know what I am trying to write half the time. There are also options like all the possible numbers for each square automatically, but I think that is only for the Easy level. You can also do newspaper mode and turn all the hints and extras off. I think even without newspaper mode you have the option to turn hints off.

There is also a solver area where you can put in numbers and it will give you a solution. I've been tempted to use it with one of the game's own puzzles, but haven't yet. You can also make your own grid, but I am not sure how that works.

There are also mini games, but I don't really play those as much. I think the kakuro options are the same as the sudoku ones, but I don't really play that game either.

There is also a tips section, but you have to unlock those. That seems kind of backwards to me.

I recommend if this game if you just want a ton of sudoku puzzles and are not picky about the extras. You do have to finish the Easy level to get to medium and so forth. I think there are 5 levels. I forget the ones after Hard.

ETA: After the Hard level there is Pro (you have 3 lives and lose a life with every wrong answer) and Sudoku-X. I have never tried Sudoku-X and would like to, but I have to pass the Pro level (already passed Easy-Hard). That is the only thing I do not like about this game. You have to unlock the levels. It would make more sense to unlock everything at least after finishing Hard.

QUICKER TO PLAY
A couple of features make this game handy to play, and quicker to solve.

However, the "auto-fill in" is handy but it makes the game too simple. A person just starting to learn to play Sudoku might think it is helpful, but it will keep them from learning to play it without that feature.

I recommend this game to experienced players.
