    Although I'm a puzzle game lover, this one is not worth the money.

    the challenge mode gets a bit tiring, but the puzzles are awesome. i've finished 30 so far, 70 to go! i also love the two player mode more than anything else that you can play with your friends who dont have the game. Awesome!

    This game is great! Anyone who like puzzles games or thinking in general, and likes to get a endless game, to learn plaiying with the touch screen should get this. I made 170+ puzzles for this game, and will make more in the future. If you want puzzles, you can contact me at southwest_strangler@hotmail.com

    It's a good puzzle game by itself but it's the custom puzzles and wireless play that kept me playing Polarium.

    It's a pretty good puzzler. Its has a few shortcomings such as the fact that the early levels in challenge mode soon become just a chore as you're working your way upwards and the music can get a little repetitive.

    I am loving this game. It's pretty hard and pretty frustrating, but you ask for more and more all the time...

    The end result is a rather cold and uninvolving game. Too subtle to be a Tetris replacement, too plain to be an engaging puzzler, Chokkan Hitofude adds up to something a little greyer than its crisp black-and-white stylings might suggest. [JPN Import; Jan 2005, p.95]

    The pickup-and-play nature of the Checkmate mode lends itself perfectly to the portable medium, but it's no more than a simple puzzle experience that can be found on millions of Desktop PCs. [JPN Import]

    An idea with the potential to get boring but that, in practice, is satisfyingly addictive. The puzzle mode offers fiendishly tricky logic problems which are in fact, pretty tricky. Tough but great value and worth the effort. [NGC Pocket]
