Puzzler World

I have played a lot of puzzle games on the Nintendo DS and I can honestly say this is probably the best compilation of puzzles games on the system.

All 16 games are highly polished, with instant feedback to the player. Particular highlights for me are Link-A-Pix, Crossword and Spot the difference games.

Another great feature is the hint reward system its great choosing which present to have to see how many hint tokens you are awarded.

I cannot praise this game enough if you love puzzles this is the game for you and with over 1000 puzzles its certainly great value for money.

I've been playing puzzle games since the earliest days of video gaming. As an avid fan of Crosswords and Codewords I picked up Puzzler World on the advice of a friend. The game is quite simply brilliant. From a massive range of varied puzzles to an inspired progression system, that makes you want to 'have one more go' every time you try and put it down, Puzzler World is genuinely hard to fault.

From a puzzling purists point of view the Crosswords, Su-Do-Ku and Codewords are very easy to use, with a perfectly balanced difficulty curve. However the game comes into its own with the excellent range of puzzles. If you find that your brain is fried after a particularly tricky Su-Do-Ku then simply play a Word Search or a Fit Word to unwind the grey matter. Other puzzle type include Spot-The-Difference and Silhouette which is not so much a puzzle as a diversion but that said it's a hugely enjoyable one, allowing you to easily earn hint tokens.

Hint tokens are a God send when you are playing a particularly tough puzzle as they always give you just enough help to complete the most dastardly of Crosswords or Codewords. I've started playing the easier puzzles just to build up my hint tokens, ensuring that I never find myself stuck and unable to continue. Each of the major puzzle types has a sub puzzle as a bonus game, which you unlock once you have successfully completed a puzzle. From a game of Hangman to the massively enjoyable Chain Letters the bonus games add another dimension to an already complete gaming experience.

And then there is the hidden gem that is Link-A-Pix!! This is not a puzzling concept that I am familiar with and at first I could get my head around exactly how I was meant to play it. And then I had an epiphany (I actually read the in game instructions) and now I cannot stop playing the game. It's sublime in its simplicity and devious to the 'nth degree. I don't k now if this exists in print form and if it does I don't know how it works BUT as a digital puzzle its incredible and I am totally addicted!!

Puzzler World has everything that I could wish for from a puzzle game and I for one would recommend it to everyone and anyone that I know that has a DS!

bril game better than the oridanal puzzler collection, i would defently reccomend this game

i got this game thinking that like nearly all the other puzzle games it would bore me to death after a few minutes! how wrong i was, this is a very addictive game and i cant stop playing it :) would recommend it to anyone and everyone who loves puzzle games, the best of the lot by far!

Absolutely brilliant game, can't put it down, highly addictive, never used to be able to do sudoku but can now !! Not only crosswords, but lots of other games too and you win points which helps if get too hard. Hope they bring another out.
