More bugs than an infested kennelApr 03, 2006
By Erika Villablanca I'm updating my review as I have had the time to play this game. The flaws just pile up:
1) The game will warn you if you place an incorrect number. That alone ruins the game.
2) I though flaw #1 was bad until I started seeing the "Attention... please wait" pop-ups. The most annoying thing in a mind game. I have other PSPs that could take a lot of processing time, Winning Eleven 9 and NFS Most Wanted. Those are intense games with rich graphics. What could make a simple game like Sudoku require processing time? If I had to guess it would be the animated background I can't even get rid of.
3) The animated themes are simply annoying. After seeing the same animation over and over, is there a way to disable them avoiding the "Attention... please wait" popu-up at the same time? No such luck, you are stuck with them.
4) As of 4/9/06, the website has downloadable puzzles but no patches. If at least they made it up to paying customers by posting the utility they used to create the puzzles. But they'd have to actually care about them by releasing a patch first!!

Defective GameApr 12, 2006
By Dr.J. I concur with the other reviews. This game has an annoying defect. I went so far as to contact tech support. This is what I was told.
"Response (Jason) - 04/10/2006 11:50 AM
Unfortunately, this is a known problem with the game that will occur when there is less than a 40% charge on the battery. We have already notified the developer of the game about the problem, but since the problem does not prevent a player from completing the game, the decision was made to not fix the problem. At this time, the only solution that I can offer you is to make sure that you have charged your battery as much as possible before playing."
However, this problem manifests itself after about 15 - 20 minutes or approximately 90% charge and not 40%. Most annoying is that Ubisoft is continuing to sell a knowingly defective product. Seems like there are laws against that.
This could be a fun game but the bug precludes that. Even if you feel this wouldn't bother you, I would not give them your money on principle.

Great idea... horrible bug [US version]Apr 10, 2006
By AppleJax The overall idea and implementation for this game is good. I think there are ways it could be improved.
But all that doesn't really matter. There is a horrible bug where a huge pop-up window comes up during game-play, basically covering the entire board. The pop-up says "ATTENTION! Please wait..." and takes about 5-10 seconds and then returns you to the game.
Apparently the issue is due to some buggy code that is checking your battery life. If you aren't at full battery power with the power cord plugged in, you'll start getting the pop-up and it will happen several times per game/board.
Some people may be able to still play through this, but I find it unplayable.

Buy Another Sudoku GameJul 03, 2006
By Lisa Shea

We love Sudoku. We play it online quite a lot, and use the Brain Age version of Sudoku frequently as well. We thought it'd be great to have a PSP game solely dedicated to Sudoku. Unfortunately, the Go! Sudoku implementation was poor.
First off, about the gameplay in general. You get a Sudoku board, can choose from puzzles of various difficulties, and can choose a background theme. Once you play a game on a given profile, that's it. You can't play it again. Since you rarely "memorize" a board, it seems a shame not to let you replay it without resetting everything.
Next, part of how you play Sudoku is by marking the "possibles" in a given square until you figure out what it really should be. In the Brain Age version, you can do that. Here, you can't. Your only choice is to turn on "help" which then marks ALL possibles on the entire board, all the time. With help turned on, all you do is look at the board for the square with only 1 possible in it, and put that number there. Then the board updates and you look for the next square with only 1 possible in it. It's not a game at all. They should have let you put in possibles yourself, instead of making you try to juggle that all in your head.
The game has a really annoying redraw problem. Every 10 minutes or so, the game freezes with a "please wait" message that sits there for perhaps 30 seconds. Then it lets you play some more. So you might be right in the middle of doing something, and suddenly you have to twiddle your thumbs until it unfreezes. Apparently this has to do with battery charge - and the lower your battery gets, the more frequently the pop-up comes up. It counts the 'freeze time' against your total time to solve, too. Bad, bad, bad.
If you type in a wrong number, it IMMEDIATELY tells you that number is wrong. This makes no sense in Sudoku. Part of the challenge is to follow a road until you get stuck, then to backtrack and figure out what you did wrong. It's like a crossword puzzle or a maze. To just flag you immediately loses that aspect of the solving.
This is one of the only games that I've played that I completely DO NOT recommend at all. If you want to play Sudoku, buy another game. Don't buy this one.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAMEApr 07, 2006
By cjhall

There is a serious programming flaw in this game. A "warning" window pops up every few minutes (unless your PSP is fully charged AND plugged in!). This is INCREDIBLY annoying and I am returning the game. The manufacturer won't even acknowledge that there is a problem so I am NEVER buying another UBISOFT product again!
