 A let down compared to most alternatives December 31, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this game as I'm a fan of puzzles and the sudoku 'mini games' on Brain Training, it wasn't worth the money. I re-calibrated the screen to check that it wasn't the DS console that was alligned badly, it was the game after all that. The size of the puzzles (all except sudoku) is tiny, so small that it's hard to line up the stylus in the right place making irritating mistakes that weren't the players fault.
Another feature that's very annoying is the menus, they're difficult to navigate and give you an awful lot of unnecessary options to go through.
 Good puzzles let down by bad touch screen controls October 17, 2008

This could have been a great game: there are four puzzles, they've been compiled well and there are several modes, allowing you to pick a certain type of puzzle or play what the game throws at you or play puzzles against the clock. Other reviewers have described the puzzles well so I'll move on to the problem.
The problem is that the game has been implemented badly: you often have to select something on the touch screen more than once before it registers that you hit it and the touch screen is often inaccurate - selecting the wrong word or the wrong square.
I wish they'd done a better job of making this game. I still think it's worth playing but it is frustrating when you spend ages trying to select the right item or get stopped in the fast and fun mode by a mistake when you had tried to select the right item.

This a great puzzle pack......BUT I do find it very difficult to get it actually to get to the puzzle or game.The opening list of things to press to tell the DS to start up the chosen game seems to be over complicated.I do sometimes find I spend more time getting the thing up and running,hence have lost much playing time,and I certainly cannot pick it up casually play a short game or do a crossword unless I have plenty of time.Once it is in the puzzle mode all is fine......but then I am loathed to switch it off knowing I will have to go through the whole drama to start it up again !!!!!
Overall quite good, but disappointed with variety of games August 14, 2008

Having purchased "The Puzzler" magazine for a lot of years (20+) I always enjoyed the wide range of different types of puzzles portrayed and, as such, I eagerly awaited the delivery of my Nintendo DS version.
I was disappointed to see that there are only four types of game available: crosswords, word searches, fitwords (where you have to fit all the words into a blank grid) and sudoku. No sign of the logic problems, or Jigwords, or codebreakers!
Having said that, the games are quite good and the interface is intuitive. I travel a lot so this will probably while away many an hour in airport departure lounges, as well as helping to keep the old grey matter active.

i recieved puzzler ds in the post today and when i picked it up to play
i found i was well pleased with my purchase. it has 4 diffrent games suduko fitword crossword and wordsearch with loads of different game modes
including puzzler tournament, quick blast ,simply puzzle, fast and fun, and head to head.all modes and games have instructions and hints to help if you get stuck.i have played all 4 games in puzzler tournament mode only and found them easy to play and with ease of use.i highly recommend this game for people that like puzzles etc i can even do the crosswords without help unlike the sun crossword on ds.
