 Rating:  - Not as good as Mario's PicrossI 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: Rating:  - what a great gameI 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: Rating: - DisappointingI 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 Rating: - 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!!! Rating: - FantasticIn Picross you are presented with a grid and have the task of filling in certain squares to make up a picture. The squares to be filled are indicated by numbers showing how many squares in every row and column must be filled. The challenge is working out which squares they are. It is important to think carefully about which squares to fill. In the initial difficulty levels, you are told when you have made a mistake, which adds minutes to your valuable completion time! The more difficult puzzles take longer to complete, but that cheery music keeps you going! There are a number of mini-games, such as copying an on-screen image within a short amount of time and completing a series of small grids one after the other. You can ... Read More: |
