Review: VZW Sudoku [Mobile]

Verizon has commissioned branded versions of several popular games under their “VZW” title, with VZW Sudoku being a highlight on the service right now. The game offers just enough features to keep you content with sudoku on the go, and doesn’t break the bank in doing so.

Graphics: 75/100

VZW Sudoku has a Japanese bamboo theme, with kanji letters and Far Eastern looking fonts. The actual sudoku board is clean and clear, with blue numbers forming the pre-sets and black numbers for those you’ve entered yourself.

Gameplay: 80/100

It is easy to enter in digits with the number pad of my phone, which makes playing a breeze. However, there is no support for scribbling those small notes into the corners of the squares, as many people do during a game of Sudoku, so that may be a deal breaker for some. The menus are easy to navigate, and there is support for 10 saved games.

Replay: 95/100

You can easily have the game generate a new game for you, or you can manually enter in a game from a newspaper, book or online.

Overall, for less than $10 you get a quality sudoku experience you can have with you anywhere. I’d recommend this to any Verizon subscribers who enjoy sudoku.
