Advantages: 4 different games with varying difficulties, 2 player mode.

Disadvantages: Small text

When playing you hold your DS sideways (like a book) the puzzle is on one side of the screen and the clues/answers on the other side.

This game contains four different games:

Crossword - basically just an ordinary crossword where you have to work out the answers to the clues and fill in the answers.

Fitword - which is a game where you get blank squares almost like a crossword layout and you have to fit words into the correct places.

Wordsearch - words run vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. You have to highlight the word with you stylus.

Sudoku - a number game where you have to fill in the numbers in the correct places of the grid. This is not as good as some other sudoku games for the DS.

You can play the games individually with varying degrees of difficulty or you can play a tournament where you play the games in the order it tells you and it gets harder as you progress. There is also the option to play against the clock. Also against a friend on the same DS which I thought was good. You can pass it back and forth each taking a turn.

It claims there are 2000 puzzles on this but having played for a while I seem to be getting the same wordsearchs and crosswords now. Whether this means I have played all of them I'm not sure but I don't think I have.

The only disadvantage I found was that the text is quite small and I sometimes found it hard to read.

Overall a good game, especially for short periods of time e.g. commuting on the train.

Summary: A good game, would recommend for people who would play it for short periods or it may get boring
