Sounds like the actual game is handled better in Brain Age. I may just get that instead now.
Solid, but not spectacular.
Closing Comments
For a game dedicated to the game of Sudoku, it just seems lacking sitting next to a game that offers a better version as a secondary mode. Sudoku Gridmaster can't even figure a creative way of using the second screen, other than duplicating the same exact grid that's interactive on the touch screen. And I'll freely admit that I'd much rather play Sudoku in the DS vertical "book mode" introduced in Brain Age. I may be spoiled, but Sudoku Gridmaster's is, so far, the weakest entry in Nintendo's much-touted Touch Generations line. If all you want is Sudoku challenges and nothing more, though, that's what you'll get in this cart.

5.5 Presentation
Nintendo's first dedicated Sudoku game for DS, but the version included with Brain Age is surprisingly superior.
7.0 Graphics
Sleeker, modern appearance for the overall look of the game. Functional more than mindblowing.
6.5 Sound
Mellow music fits the game and doesn't get too repetitive. But there's no way to turn it off and leave the sound effects on.
7.0 Gameplay
Functional, fun and challenging. Just not as functional as the freebie in Brain Age.
8.0 Lasting Appeal
400 puzzles is a lot when you consider that each one takes a good dozen plus minutes to finish.
6.0
Passable OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)
Solid, but not spectacular.
