I actually just came back and bought a second so we could stop fighting over who gets to play it. If you're a fan of 2d picross, it takes a bit of getting used to, but it quickly becomes second nature working in 3 dimensions. I love the game, and would highly suggest that anyone looking for a puzzle game you can pick up and put down at absolutely any time strongly considers this title. <br /> <br />Pluses: Short, quick games. Easy to learn. Easy to teach. Multi-player capable. Requires highly logical thought and help trains your mind for such. <br /> <br />Minuses: Each level must be played sequentially. First hour of play is extremely simple and repetitive (when it's teaching you all the different types of inidcators and levels, etc.) <br /> <br />Overall, I'd say this is a must have for absolutely any and every DS owner.

Jenkins Tue, 29 Jun 2010 19:38:40 +0000 http://www.desbib.org/18-picross-3d.html#comment-50 As a "non-casual" gamer I play alot of the top titles, but this little cart has occupied more than a fair share of my time since I picked it up last night. It's a new take on the old Picross formula (if you played the original on Game Boy or DS) that uses the 3rd dimension to great effect. It's incredibly easy to learn and you may feel like you picked up a kid's toy during the tutorial levels, but fear not! Unless you're one of those "smaht kids" you will be challenged soon enough by the time limits you need to beat to get all the stars. <br /> <br />It's an excellent game to pass time...maybe too much time. I started playing around 8:00pm last night and didn't stop until almost midnight! So grab your stylus and your No-doze and get to pic'n!

You absolutely cannot go wrong with either game, and I challenge you to find a better value for your $20 on this console. No other game offers as much content as either Picross game on the DS.

I love the idea of it and can't wait to play it. Unfortunately, Nintendo did a dumb thing to us in designing this one. The buttons are different. I found myself constantly making mistakes because of this. In original Picross, you push upward on the "joystick" to mark a block as good (which does break the block) and downward to mark it as bad. In this version, you press upward to break the blocks and rightward to mark them good. The blocks that you break in the original game form the picture. In the newer version, you break blocks to get rid of them. I kept breaking blocks that I was meaning to keep because it is backward, now. You certainly can't go back and forth between these two games and keep that concept straight. I hope that that made sense. And I hope that there is a way to change the controls in the game. <br /> <br />Jighm Rating: 5 / 5 I’ve played the demo leading up to the game, which I will definitely be purchasing.

My brain will not allow me to think that quick that I will never get to the next level. This game has too many rules to remember and I can't tell what the picture is....even when I complete it. If the identity wasn't typed beside it, I would not know what it is. I've given up on this game. I did pre-order this and wish that I didn't. From now on I will read opinions from gamers before I buy. Rating: 1 / 5 This is a diffucult game for me. My brain will not allow me to think that quick that I will never get to the next level.
