Sudoku is a big hit and we still don't know why we're so addicted with it, considering most people hate Math. Sudoku most likely will stay on as long as the Crossword puzzles had.

We've got Carol Voderman's Sudoku Video for you so you can have a taste of the gameplay before you buy the game. What we liked about it was that unlike other games, it gave us an option to find out the game's history without going on the internet. We tend to like such subtleties. At least now we know more about the game, let's go on to the game play itself.



We see that you can choose a profile for this game. There seems to be five profiles available. In this case Mikey chooses his profile. There's a main menu where you can choose single, multiplayers options. There are helpful tutorial videos, a Sudoku Solver, the high scorers, and options.

In the single player option, you're given the classic, arcade, career, and (ehem) Challenge Carol Option. I don't know about you guys but Carol V. has an IQ of 154. So let's move on to the Classic Sudoku shall we? There, you're given difficulty options such as easy, medium, difficult, and super-difficult. Let's choose easy.


As you can see and hear, it has a nice layout to it. When you've entered the right numbers they just pop up all over the screen like crazy. If we were standing behind someone playing this, we would've sworn he was playing an FPS with all the clicking and explosions abound. We wonder what the Arcade version looks like, we expect it to sound and look even noisier!

When you pause the game, options are available again. Resume game, assists, controls, audio, auto highlights, auto save, active, and quit. We also see, the multiplayer version with the following options, head-to-head, quickfire, and time-attack. We'll try to get more info as soon as we get them, the quickfire option has us stoked.

Thanks to Mikey for this cool video!

 » Dont Pay for SuDoku

There are far too many Flash versions of classic sudoku out there to justify plopping down $20 for a game. If you want a good daily sudoku, check out http://psp.fingertime.com/ whcih is specifically written for the PSP.

 » He was not actually playing the game!

If you watch he had 2 8's in the middle left column. He was just putting numbers down randomly. To say he's a Beast is pure Bullsh*t!

 » yep more of the same

Yep that sure is a SODUKO game...just like the one before it. If people keep buying this $#i( then $ony will keep thinking that we will buy any of the worthless junk they put out. Stop buying their garbage and force them to make good games! Not to regurjitate all the stuff that has already been done in the homebrew scene. Does not anybody want a quality game....maybe a port of some good PC or PS2 games....Starcraft...Warcraft...Diablo II....Baldurs Gate....A good FPS would be nice....but no they are just gong to emulate GUNSMOKE again and all the goofballs out there will buy it....just like the ghost and Goblins game...good for a bout 2 hours then you have done and seen it all.....this company thinks that you are all idiots and they get proven right all the time.....uh...thats just my 0.02$.

any spelling mistakes were done on purpose for the french and any americans out there.

 » More Sudoku?! >_

How about a Shogi game? Come on homebrewers, we need a Shogi game!


(Shogi is Japanese chess by the way.)

 » i hate her

god i wish carol vorderman had never made it onto telly. she's not smart, she's an idiot, and i hate the way she gets so much money for endorsing crap when she made her name doing mental arithmetic on a word game telly show. nnngg... i don't like her one bit.

   by blobadob (Unregistered) - 2006-08-28
 » whaaat?

Dunno about you but Carol Vordermanns hot! ... Wonder if you can unlock some nudey scenes? :D would be awesome and Id buy this instantly if that was the case....

Shogi- yeah that'd be interesting, Ive seen Sudoku before on the psp, its nice to see something new... maybe a remake of "battle chess" that has Shogi with it in a bundle? ..wooo!

If you look closely at the screen reflection of the psp in the video you can see that they are flicking you off.

After watching this game I think that I need to play more puzzel games.

   by Wii60_Lover (Unregistered) - 2006-08-28
 » boring.........

meh.

this could have been good. Instead of that boring as heck intro by carol, they should have turned her speech into some fmv where they scroll through the ages showing people from different cultures playing Sudoku or how they played it. Wow, if Carol's such mastermind at this game, how come she's so dumb at making a simple game like this?

Garbage, Carol Voderman Sudoku is a complete FLOP. Skip it and save your money for a full issue of Playboy when you reach 18yrs old.

   by tanooki - 2006-08-28

He is just inputting numbers randomly -_-

   by pedercine (Unregistered) - 2006-08-29
 » Well

   by Choiboy (Unregistered) - 2006-08-29
 » ummm

is it just me or is a woman in the background during seconds 29 and 30 flipping us all off i really think she pointing the middle finger at the psp or something

   by Annonymous Coward (Unregistered) - 2006-08-29
 » I thought I saw a women........

Half way through the video I thought I briefly saw a women raising the index but it was quick so I wasn't sure. This game looks as boring as the guy who trys to be funny on countdown. Carol bored me to death as well but at least she is kind of cute.

   by mupet0000 - 2006-08-29
 » 29 secs through...

Hey guys, sorry about the person putting his finger up in the video. Its a guy btw lol. I was trying to make the video while he was messing about.

 » HAHA

 » WTF is with the load times?

I can't believe that it takes a minute to even get into the game. That's absurd for a portable sudoku game.
