The SUDOKU puzzles included here go from the very easy to the very hard.
For the “Hard” and “Very Hard” puzzles I specially like the optional feature that can pencil-in the candidate numbers for you. It saves a lot of time. However, this feature is not good for the “Easy” puzzles. The automatic pencil-in feature makes easy puzzles too short and simple–it takes away the basic effort needed to solve them.
As a good extra, this collection brings a SUDOKU TUTORIAL that is very detailed and more advanced than any other included in a DS game.
The CROSSWORDS are entertaining and instructive. They are of medium difficulty. I occasionally found myself following the recommendation (given by the game) to look for some answers in reference books, the internet or by asking people.
The rest is a few card games. I specially like the Klondike Solitaire and the Free Cell.

This game is okay. It has a good variety of Solitaire games, but I prefer Brain Age’s Sudoku and CrossworDS’ Crossword puzzles over the ones in this game. I think I’ve played it twice. I would recommend trying before buying.

This game was worth more than what I got it for. There are so many puzzles for Sudoku. I like how you can select the number you want instead of having the game guess what you are trying to write. Once you complete a square or a certain number, the numbers will pop up letting you know that particular is correct! =) You can select what level you want too. Haven’t even tried the other games yet!

Loved the Solitaire so much, that I have not done the Soduku at all. The crossword does not try to guess at your handwriting; it features a tiny keyboard. I sold two copies by suggesting it to friends!
