4.0 out of 5 stars HT-ZS11 - Electronic Sudoku, June 14, 2007

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

I have not tried other electronic sudoku products, so I cannot tell you how this one compares. It has a touch screen and backlight. I can tell you that I am not 100% satisfied in comparison to web sudoku: the screen is obviously smaller, the digits are harder to see, and therefore solving is more difficult as you struggle to search. You can only use it with backlight, without it it's too hard to see. There is a certain angle you should hold the device at to get the best view, otherwise the digits are not that clear. Once you have started the game, you cannot reset it or cancel until you finish (you must remove the batteries or use a needle in the reset hole). Your score stays for only a few seconds to review. The screen quality seems poor. It is enough to play the game, I guess, and you can get used to the screen.
I was looking for a perfect electronic sudoku game that can have touch screen, back light, where digits are easy to see (large digits and screen, good resolution), you can reset the game, has difficulty levels and hundreds of thousands of puzzles. This one came closest based on reviews of other products and its features, but is far from perfect. I must say that none of the other products seems perfect either - web sudoku is the best option. However, if you need something portable from time to time, this could be an imperfect but suitable option.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a good product, April 5, 2007

By	R. V. Alexander - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really liked this ELECTRONIC SUDOKU game. The screen is easy to read thanks to the backlight. The only thing that I don't like is the very high sensitivity of the screen: you barely touch it, and you might end up selecting a game of a difficulty level that does not suit you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for the Money, September 5, 2007

By	C. Comforts (Milwaukie, OR United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

Considering the cost of Sudoku puzzle books, the price is a good deal. It has a few places where you really have to push and push to get the number in the square. The instructions could be better. Scoring is a bit strange, and your stuck with a puzzle once you start it. But, over all, it is a handy toy. The backlight is good, and the size and shape are nice on the hands. Gives three levels of difficulity, hints, answers, and pause button. Have enjoyed the entertainment.
