Couldn't wait to get this, but right off the bat was extremely unsatisfied with it. The worst 2 features of the game are: 1)The game doesn't allow you to write little notations to yourself - a must in more difficult sudoku puzzles! 2) The game immediately lets you know if you've placed a wrong number & there's no way to turn this off.

Sudoku is one of the simplest games ever, and the DS is the perfect electronic platform for it because of its pen input. So why is impossible for these games companies to come up with a Sudoku game that is actually playable? Brain Age is the only one that gets it right (but sadly it only has a limited number of puzzles).

The advertising for "Sudokuro" states it has text recognition, and based on that I pre-ordered hoping it would be close to Brain Age in format, but it is not. It does let you write the number you want, but you have to use clunky arrow cursors to move around the board which is displayed on the upper (non-touch) screen. It seems like a no-brainer to me to put the board on the touch screen so you can just tap the square you want, but nope, not here. (Why they even bothered to put text recognition in Sudokuro is a mystery, because it's much simpler to just tap the number. I guess they wanted to pad their features list to fool people like me into buying this game.)

Sudokuro is a complete waste of time and money, you're better off buying a Sudoku book and using a pen.

I agree with the other current reviewer. I really was hoping this would be a good Sudoku game, but not being able to put in small numerical notations is just unbelievable. Plus the user interface in not that great either. The people that programmed this should be ashamed of creating this bad game. I am really sorry I bought this! I should have waited for reviews, but was hoping for better. Brain Age Sudoku still beats the pants off of every other such game for the DS so far. That is sad! :(

Any good Kakuro game has only 1 unique solution. I've tried several in the easy section that have multiple solutions. Why would the game developer not understand the first and most important rule in Sudoku and Kakuro? Had I known this before I bought it - I would have saved my money. I'd give it 0 stars if there was that option!

I pre-purchased this game after going through all the Sudoku in Brain Age. This couldn't be farther from the quality and playability of Brain Age if it tried. The game doesn't allow for guesses in the square and you can't see the numbers unless you have VERY good eyesight and it just isn't fun to play. If you liked the Sudoku in Brain Age, you will be very disappointed.

This could have been a great game for Kakuro alone. Unfortunately the interface isn't very good. It doesn't allow you to place potential answers in the blocks and that is essential for any Kakuro puzzle to solve. Try Brain Buster Puzzle Pak for the DS or import a Kakuro game [..] for a better game experience.

I don't want to repeat what the other reviewers said, but they are absolutely right. I was really disappointed in this game and, like the others, wish that I had waited for the reviews.

Why any of these developers can't come up with a Sudoko and/or a Kakuro game with a similar interface to Brain Age is beyond me.

The worst part is that the game board is on the non-touch screen and moving around is extremely cumbersome. Whoops!! I'm repeating what the other reviews said -- sorry!!

One honestly has to wonder if the makers of this game have ever played sudoku. The game doesn't allow you to make small notations, just fill in the answers. The small notations solve the puzzles! Ridiculous.

it is the most boring, non-user friendly game i have ever played! Don't waste your money

I could not waite for the game to get here and i was extremely unsatisfied. I thought that it had a bunch of sudokuro problems to solve and it doesnt, and i hate that you cant write notations to yourself, which is a must have. So do not waste your money on this.
