  1. All in all, it's a fun little game with cute graphics that ought to keep Sudoku fans happy.
  2. Sudoku purists will be upset by a number of things in this game. All puzzles appear to be randomly generated, so there's no way to track which ones you have or haven't solved yet.
  3. Thanks to the game's fundamental competitive structure, in two-player mode it shines and the charming art style, which ably mimics Japanese fighting game aesthetics, lends the package character sorely missing from its DS Sudoku rivals.
