GameSpot editors' review

Sudoku, the little number-grid puzzle that just won't quit, has been making inroads into the world of handheld video games for a bit now, and already a firm trend has been established. Most of these sudoku games are fine, but their interfaces often leave something to be desired. The one exception so far has been Brain Age, which used its handwriting recognition and touch-screen technology to make writing the numbers into the boxes very simple. Sudoku Gridmaster, also published by Nintendo, would have been better off if it were just the Brain Age take on sudoku with more puzzles. Unfortunately, this Hudson-developed puzzle game makes poor use of the Nintendo DS touch screen and falls flat as a result.

Gridmaster is a very no-frills game. You fire it up, and you're dropped right into a menu that lists multiple difficulties, with sudoku puzzles in each one. As you complete these puzzles, you earn stars that can unlock bonus puzzles. You can also take four rank tests, which are puzzles that must be completed within a specific time limit. Some sort of multiplayer time challenge or even multiple profile support to allow for a scoreboard might have made the game slightly more interesting. All in all, the game really only offers two mildly different ways to play sudoku, which is unfortunate, because you're saddled with the same interface across the board.
