Sudoku Ball Detective is an interesting concept that will satisfy players in need of a spin on the genre. If you are not a fan of the quirky number puzzles then the additives are not going to sway your opinion.

Isn't sudoku-y enough for sudoku fans, and not detective-y enough from mystery fans. [Dec 2009, p.70]
IGN
The text recognition works well so if you absolutely gotta have some Sudoku this will suffice, but hasn't the world had enough Sudoku by now?

Unless you’re both a die hard English detective fanatic and a desperate sudoku enthusiast, stay away from this one.

It was pretty short, I forgot it had a story, and the interface needs some work. It wasn't bad, though. It was just Sudoku.

Ana M. gave it an8:
if you like sudoku's, then this game is definately great. Its based on an old english murder story, the story unfolds itself as you solve different sudoku puzzles. Most of the them are wrapped around a 3D ball which shows the loation you are currently in, the ball can be rotated, which makes the puzzles even more challenging, collect clues, chase the suspect, and investigate clues in the lab. I had a lot of fun completing the story and there are even more then 80 normal sudoku puzzles to keep you happy. For the next game i would like to see a more interactive story and more challenges but all in all a nice game.
