5.0 out of 5 stars Newer model, easy to see and use, December 28, 2006

This review is from: Illuminated Touch Screen Sudoku Puzzle Game (Toy)

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my sister, who has difficulty seeing due to cataracts in both eyes. She is a Sudoku addict, and had been solving puzzles with pencil and paper until I gave her the electronic version. With the backlight feature, and different levels of contrast, I hoped that the handheld game would be easier for her to see.

Because of the mixed reviews I had seen, I asked her for feedback about this game. When buying, please note that there may be more than one model of this game available. Some of the reviews refer to older model(s). My comments refer to model 20720, Illuminated Sudoku Mega Screen. The unit measures about 4" wide by 5 1/2" long, with screen size of about 2 1/2" wide by 3 1/4 in" long.

My sister says the display is easy to see. The screen is fully illuminated, with orange backlighting, and 9 levels of contrast.

There are two modes of play, Beginner and Advanced. Each mode offers four difficulty levels, from 1 (easiest) to 4 (most difficult). So far my sister has been playing in Beginner mode, level 4. In this mode, if you put a number in the incorrect box, the number flashes to let you know that it is in the wrong place. To clear an entry, just touch the "C" at the top of the screen, then touch the box on the grid to be cleared.

My sister has been playing this game every night since Christmas, and she really likes it. It was worth every cent -- and then some!

Being a big Sudoku fan, I couldn't wait to receive this as a gift, so I bought it for myself. There is not much difference between the conrast of the grid and numbers to that of the screen. The inability to read the handheld version makes it a waste of money. I promptly repacked mine and returned it to the store.

Sudoku puzzles are very Fun so I reccomened you skip the handheld version and buy yourself a book!

I addict to Sudoku. So when I saw this game, I could not resist. I was very disapppointed with the display. Difficult to see the numbers. You could see yourself in the display better than you could see the numbers. It could hurt your eyes if playing for a long time. It is not worth the money. I am going to return the game.
