Brain Age Express: Sudoku

About

Brain Age Express: Sudoku is a portable puzzle collection that brings 100 challenges from the original Brain Age DS title to the DSi. Solve number grids using the touch screen with simple controls that let you write digits directly into cells. Each puzzle adjusts to your skill level over time with three difficulty tiers. The lack of time pressure lets you focus on logic rather than speed while the small scale makes it easy to pick up and put down between tasks. This stripped-down version skips extra modes and frills found in bigger sudoku titles but delivers exactly what the name promises. Players who enjoyed the original Brain Age series will recognize the puzzle design though the DSiWare price makes it feel more like a snackable diversion than a full meal. With a 4.2/5 rating from longterm Brain Age fans on message boards it works well for quick mental workouts during commutes or downtime.
