- Compulsive, in a nice way
This game has been compared with Soduko, in that it is simple to get into, and then hard to put down.
However, I find it so much better, since it avoids the obsessive counting, and even provides a result at the end. (Some of the daily challenges do not end up with a picture, which makes the exercise mildly futile; it's never going to be a source of great art, but is nominally intended to create some form of picture! ;)
Get into using the D-pad at the start; you will find it better later on, and avoids the need to get the pen to a point that you can see, even when being joggled on the commute. It's also useful to be able to select a FILL or BLANK just by using a different button (one press) rather than "losing your place" when you ... Read More:

- Not as good as Mario's Picross
I felt I had to write this review because I dowloaded the demo off of the Nintendo Channel and I thought it was really good, you get four sample puzzles to solve and then I got hooked. I've loved Picross ever since the version on the Gameboy, which was called Mario's Picross.

So, I bought this and got it and did, like, the first 12 puzzles then I realised, you can just scribble over the screen and it reveals the finished picture! And there is absolutely no penalty for doing this! you can then go back and draw the picture from memory with no mistakes to get a good time. I mean, video games have always had cheat modes, but they are hidden and have to be discovered or entered as a code.

In Mario's Picross you can make ... Read More:

- what a great game
I have now had picross for 2 months and play at least 3 puzzles everyday, it is very addictive and great fun for anyone who enjoys suduku and jigsaw puzzles. Once you have worked out the blocks and if you complete it in under 1 hour it animates and the animal or design moves around the screen. I can hear you ask but anyone can complete a puzzle in an hour, but in the normal mode it gives you a 2 minute penalty for a wrong block and the next wrong block gets a 4 minute penalty and so it goes up so 1 hour is quickly achieved.
In free mode there are no penalties but you can work at it and still get it wrong. It starts with easy puzzles and gradually builds up. You can always go back to the easier levels and see if you can complete it in a quicker ... Read More:

- Disappointing
I love Griddlers and had high hopes for this game. The main problem is that a large 20 x 35 puzzle just does not tranlsate to the small Nintendo screen, so they have devised zoom mode to overcome this. I think zoom mode is just nasty. You need to see the whole Griddler when you are solving it and for me, I just couldn't get on with this feature. I have played the game for about an hour and will now be selling it on and going back to puzzles in the newpaper with pen & paper! Sorry

- This game is so addictive!
When I first got this game, I thought that I would be easily bored - how wrong could I have been. I'm totally hooked! I've had the game for a couple of months and it hasn't been out of my ds. I find myself having conversations with my husband but not really listening as I'm hooked on the game that I'm playing. The more advanced you get, the more brain teasing the games become. You finish one game and think 'just one more and then I'll go to bed'!!!

I would highly recommend this game - I love it!!!
