In addition to the thousand puzzles that come with the game, you can download more, though the game itself doesn't actually have the download function built in. You'll have to go to Ubisoft's page on your PC or use the PSP browser, download the files, and place them in a specific folder on your memory stick. Interestingly, these files are very basic-looking XML files. It looks as though you could probably edit them to make your own puzzles, if you were so inclined.

This is the sort of game that works well with a mouse or with a touch screen. Since the PSP has neither of those things, it makes do with the standard controls. You use the triggers to select which number you want to work with, then hit X to draw it in the box you have highlighted. If you want to make notes about which numbers could possibly be in one of the boxes, you can place a small note of that number with the circle button, or erase your note of that number with square. It's about as good as you could hope for on the PSP, but again, a D pad and buttons simply isn't the ideal way to play this game.

If you're already into Sudoku, you probably already have a favorite way to play it, be it on paper, in a Web browser, or whatever. Considering there are tons of different ways to play the game for free, this package doesn't really seem necessary. But if you're on the go a lot and don't have any other way to get your Sudoku fix, Go! Sudoku is good enough to keep you going.
