Yet another Sudoku game released today via DSiWare service in North America. This one's by Electronic Arts and costs 200 points, features hundreds of puzzles, but is it worth it? And will anyone download it? I am. I love Sudoku, so my own review will be up shortly. What do you guys think?

I have it. I must say, presentation is nice, but music is annoying and input is annoying. You use like a phone keypad >_<
Really....? I've been thinking about getting a Sudoku game..... a 200 point one is tempting since I don't know if I will like Sudoku that much. However, keypad input....? I tried a demo for the Brain Age Sudoku on the Nintendo Channel; and I liked that written input better, especially since it let me write 5 small possible answers down before I put down my final answer....... Plus, I liked the book format that that one seemed to have. I saw the screenshot for this one had it horizontal.......
I do think that Sudoku Master and Sudoku Student are much better in terms of gameplay and game mechanics, but I do love the music and options in this new EA version. Still playing it, but first impressions are that's its good, but nothing new, really. So far I am giving it a 7/10.

You downloaded a third sudoku game after having two already? Really?
I'm curious about the create a puzzle part of the description.
"Take it even further by playing in the exclusive Newspaper Mode. Add a daily puzzle from your favorite paper and build your very own collection."
How does this work? You manually input the numbers or take a picture or something? What?
Yes, you manually enter what numbers are on said "newspaper grid" that's it. Nothing too special, so I stick with my 7/10 score. And yes, I downloaded a third Sudoku game, actually a fourth, lol (if you count Brain Age Sudoku Express) but like I said guys, not only do I love Sudoku, but I download every release so I can review them and friends can play them to decide what to buy on their own systems. Because I'm nice like that

This Sudoku program has a customized option so you can copy the grid appearence from a local newspaper so you can solve the puzzle on the DSi rather than writing the answers on the newspaper with pencil or pen.
I think Brain Age: Suduko is the best suduko game on DSiWare.
At first I thought so, too, and then I realized with Sudoku Student and Master, there are many more visual cues that can be used to help you advance through the games, such as highlighting which numbers you have all guessed right, etc. I would actually rate this newer EA Sudoku version higher than the Brain Age Sudoku Express game because of enhanced options and gameplay modes.

I didn't like Suduko Master/Student as much as the Brain Age one. I'd buy this one two since I like to play suduko when I'm bored, but I'm saving my last 200 hundred points......well, 300 points.
Jeez, I've got nothing against sudoku, but how many games do we need? One's enough, thank you.
I hope this is it! lol

It's not as good as Sudoku Student/Master, but it seems to have more content.

Yeah, regardless how some people may love Sudoku, 4 games is a bit much, especially when we don't have other like games such as Crosswords or word search.

Tell Nintendo that, I agree!
