Sudoku in a video game should be straight forward, easy to grasp controls, and a font that's pleasant to look at at. Sudoku Gridmaster has all of this. Plus you can test to see where you rank (ie bronze, silver, gold, platinum) after completing a certain number of puzzles in Normal or Hard mode. This version is MUCH better than Platinum Sudoku in my opinion, even though there are only 400 puzzles here. The puzzles are similar to the Nikoli versions Original Sudoku. I highly recommend this game.

I would have to say that given all of the sudoku games being produced, this one is second easiest to play (other than Brain Age). But then again, you don't have to go through the Brain Age interface to get to play sudoku.
Would be better with random puzzle generation, as once you've beaten them all you can only better your times or reset the whole thing.
I play it all the time - it will stay in my game library!

This is the most addictive Sudoku DS game that I own (and I have them all). I only wish they would come out with a second edition.
Being able to highlight blocks and numbers really helps my playing.
I have found that playing Sudoku Gridmaster has honed my overall playing skills. When I go back to Brain Age, I can solve puzzles more easily and efficiently as a result of playing Gridmaster.
I can barely put it down. I'm almost finished solving ALL the skill levels and I'm planning on starting over again.
Highly recommend this game.

I REALLY like this game. Sure, it isn't as good as Brain Age, but it is still really fun and the puzzles are GREAT!! I don't bother writing my answers. I just use the numbers. It's much easier. From what I've heard, it's better than the other Sudokus on the market and very convenient when waiting at the airport or doctor's office. You can't please everyone, but they did a pretty decent job. I actually love the version on my phone of all places. It's simple and let's you focus on the game.
:) HAPPY SUDOKUING!!!!!

This was the second game I bought for my Nintendo DS. I was looking for something to play that would pass some time during long plane rides. This game does the trick!

So what's to like about this game? Hey, it's Sudoku. Chances are if you are considering buying this game, you know what Sudoku is. It may not be the most interesting game for the DS but it's a good puzzle game that forces you to use your brain. Second, you have different levels of difficulty. I started at the practice level and have now worked my way to the easy level. Third, there are a ton of puzzles to play so you don't have to play the same few puzzles over and over.

And what's not to like? Like some other reviewers said, the background and music are pretty boring. If this doesn't bother you, you have nothing to worry about. Also, I can't play this game for a good amount of time. I only pull this out when I need to pass some time.

If you're looking for a good Sudoku game and don't mind annoying music and unpleasant background colors, this is a good choice. However, I'm sure that there are better Sudoku games out there.
