This has to be the best Sudoku game available right now. I have downloaded a number of others and they just don't measure up. I can't find another that provides so many useful features. Not only can you play alone but you can compete with others online. You can choose to join another person's game or you can host a game yourself. Plus, unlike other online Sudoku games, you know who you are playing! No more racing to the finish blindly! You can monitor each competitor's progress so you always know how far ahead or behind you are. The developer's website keeps track of the rankings, globally and in hosting mode! That means when you host games, you can always pull up your own personal page to see who has been playing and what kind of times they are getting. Oh did I mention the robots? Yes, robots. Say you are hosting a game and you have to eat, sleep, work...you know all those things we should be doing instead of playing addictive online games...well instead of exiting the game you simply walk away and your robot plays for you! Even better, the robot is actually a mini-you. As you play games, the robot learns from you and mimics your moves while you are away! The robots even have their own ranking system! Another very cool thing about this game is you don't have to be a Sudoku genious to be competitive. You simply choose the level you are comfortable with. Choose your game from five levels: Easy, Medium, Hard, Evil (my personal favorite!) and the completely Insane! You might be thinking, "Now why would I subject myself to an Insane puzzle?" Well, because it is an excellent opportuinity to use one of the other great features of this game...cooperative mode. Players can work together to solve a puzzle online. Not only is it fun but very useful when you are just starting out. You can learn so much from more experienced players. How? Well, another exciting thing about this game is the fact that you can meet so many great people. Using the chat feature you can introduce yourself to others and talk about anything from game strategies to the weather. Personally, I have made many friends from all over the world and I am always so happy to get home from work and chat with them while winding down in the evening. I think that is the best aspect of the game. Do I sound like a spokesperson for the company? Well I'm not. But I do feel like I've become part of a something really cool. How often have you downloaded a game and ended up chatting almost daily with the developer and his family?!? That's right..he plays his own game! And he listens! Want a new feature? Found a bug? Got a question? Just ask! Or post it in the game forums, he is always quick to respond. Well, I can't speak more highly of Su Doku Live. Want to play? My user name is Susieiz and I host quite often. Introduce yourself when you join in and if you are new I'd be happy to help you out with game features and even Sudoku itself. But then you don't really need my help, the game has a teacher built in. Oh didn't I mention that? Have a great day and happy downloading!
