Sudoku is a new craze for those people who like Crosswords, but don't like using words in them. The object of the game is obvious: Using the stylus, you must get one of each number from 1 through 9 in each 3x3 grid, each row, and each column, without repeating the same number. It is as simple as it sounds, until you get into some of the harder puzzles. Or should I say, if.

This game is incredibly boring. You will spend roughly 5-10 minutes, based on skill and difficulty, solving a normal puzzle while the same elevator music loops continuously in the background. Once you complete the puzzle, your time will be scored out of 4 stars -- less than 5 minutes results in a 4/4, 5-10 minutes in a 3/4, and so on. Your best time is saved for each game, and your star count is totaled and displayed on the top screen.

There is no jazz, no 'zazz, no flavor. There is nothing in this game that makes it worth playing. It would've been nice to compete online via Nintendo's WiFi connection. It would've been nice just to have more than one song. Any variety, of any sort, would've been a welcomed improvement here.

Do you know what happens when you reach a certain star limit? You unlock MORE puzzles, equally as boring as the ones you played! And there are 300 puzzles in all!

Sudoku: Gridmaster is simply a collection of Sudoku puzzles on a flash card. There is nothing here that makes it stand out among the hundreds of online sites and newspapers that let you play Sudoku for free. Go online, find a Sudoku website, and forget about this game.
