Sudoku Gridmaster (known asPuzzle Series Vol. 3: Sudoku in Japan andSudoku Master in Europe) is apuzzle video game developed by A.I and published byHudson Soft for theNintendo DS. It was published byNintendo outside Japan as part of theTouch! Generations series.
The game features four hundredsudoku puzzles, four different tutorials as well as four difficulty settings (practice, easy, normal, and hard). If the player manages to perform well in the puzzle, they receive stars which can be used to take a sudoku test to determine their skill level. The game uses the Nintendo DStouch screen, which makes writing down and choosing different numbers easier.
It is a common misconception that this game has over 400 puzzles. The 'Rank Test' mode randomly chooses from the other puzzles. It is not randomly generated and it does not have its own set of puzzles.
Sudoku Gridmaster was the first full sudoku game for the Nintendo DS console.[1]
IGN's Craig Harris described the game as "good", but felt thatBrain Age's sudoku minigame was better. He reported the graphics and music as decent and functional. Harris was confident that the game's 400 puzzles would last a long time.[1]
