Too many quirks

This seemed like a good Sudoku game at first, but I had to get past its many quirks ...
1.) The handwriting recognition doesn't work very well. I quit using that and started using the number pad option, but even that has problems.
2.) It's not very good for solving puzzles from other books or newspapers. You can enter a game and solve it, but then it deletes the solution before you have a chance to write it down.
3.) It easily corrupts its data. Once the data is corrupted, you have to start all over. That gets frustrating after a couple of times.
4.) You have the option of selecting a male or female cheerleader. I'm not exactly going to select a male cheerleader, and my wife didn't care for me selecting the female cheerleader. Why do I need a cheerleader?
5.) The hints are a real pain to work with. It could be made much easier to use, but the authors selected the most difficult interface for you to work with.

This is a great game! If you love Sudoku it is great. it is easy to use, easy to read, easy to operate, and lots of fun. I love the way you can enter your pencil numbers and they are easy to add and erase. it is easy to stop a game and come back later to finish it - just remember to exit out all the way to the main menu! I played the challenges and the karuko too - first time for me. they are easy to learn and easy to play - the game helps you alot(Karuko only). you do not need to use the extra help it gives you (Karuko only), but you can if you want to.
Overall! Great buy!

This was a gift for a friend who really enjoys sudoku. He loves it so much, he keeps running down the battery on his Nintendo system.
QUICKER TO PLAY

A couple of features make this game handy to play, and quicker to solve.
However, the "auto-fill in" is handy but it makes the game too simple. A person just starting to learn to play Sudoku might think it is helpful, but it will keep them from learning to play it without that feature.
I recommend this game to experienced players.
If you love sudoku you'll love this

I recentlly got hooked on Sudoku and had to have this for my DS. This game is great. Not only does it have sudoku but some other challenges which are also fun. I love the fact that it has help tips for those puzzles which are a little more advanced than I can handle. I would recomend this to all sudoku lovers.
Okay

Really fun and encourages addiction.
pros - more sudoku games than you can shake a DS at.
the mini games are fun, too.
cons - no option to turn off the coach.
pencil marking is very tiny and hard to read and edit.
Only tracks a single player.
auto-save is weird, you have to go out to the main menu before the "Saving" message is displayed.
