Go from a Sudoku Amateur to Expert in no time on the PSP

Posted on Sep 8, 2008 11:19:03 AM

A new game craze has already swept over the world with more intensity than crossword puzzles, scrabble, or solitaire. We are of course talking of Sudoku, the game now present in nearly every magazine and newspaper. Now the game can be found your PSP as well under the title Go Sudoku.

This game is based on some lateral thinking and definitely requires one to use their brains. This game can be played for anywhere from 5 to 50 minutes, all depending on your skill and the difficulty of the puzzle.

Go Sudoku can be best described as a digital version of the most admired game Sudoku. This game starts off with some training levels called the Sudoku amateur level, where you are actually taught how to play this game. And once you actually start playing Go Sudoku, every mistake is pointed out, along with an explanation on what choice would have been better. As a result, you are continuously in a phase of learning new tactics for the game. This technique really makes learning the game quite easy and simple.

Once you have mastered the game, you move on to the next level, the challenge mode, where you have to solve the puzzle in a given amount of time. And also every mistake made by you costs a life. The game either ends when you run out of lives, or win. However, in the easy mode, the game does not, even if you do run out of all your lives. It still allows you to play the game, but restricts you from getting bonus points. The main motive of the game is to teach you how to play Sudoku, which can get pretty in the paper version with no hints or advice.

One very cool factor which really gets the game rolling is the wireless game-play and an additional mode called Pass the PSP. Pass the PSP initially tasks any single player with solving the puzzle and then the next player has to beat the time in solving the same puzzle. The multiplayer concept works really well, even though the game is traditionally not a multiplayer game.

Go Sudoku is a perfect choice for those people who are frustrated of making mistakes and not being able to solve the puzzle, even after putting in a lot of efforts It is a kind of learning tutorial for the game. By pointing out the mistakes it helps you make the jump from the amateur level to the proficient level in very little time. Most importantly it is a very budget priced and very fun game.
