Not Bad

I bought this game on a whim as I quite like crosswords. It is not the best game for the Nintendo DS, but it does what it says - it gives you lots of crosswords to complete. I think it is an ok game and helps to fill in the time when you have to wait around or on long journeys. Overall, not bad.
Better than what others have been saying!

I got this as a birthday present and I was a bit dubious as to whether I would like it or not, but it is pretty good once you get used to it. There are skill levels, which allow you to start off with smaller crosswords and progress to harder ones later on... It did take a bit of practice before I got the hang of it, but all in all it is a nifty little game that can help to pass the time on trains, buses, work breaks, etc. Probably not one for the hardcore gamer, but well worth a look.

An absolutely terrible excuse for a crossword game. A total of around 500 crosswords and about 50 clues it recycles for each one.
The limited space on the DS screen means the majority of clues are 3 letters long and the creators seem to have a strange obsession with landmarks in Asia.
The 3 difficulties is a farce, ranging from easy, medium and hard all it means is a slightly smaller crossword the easier you go.
All in all, severely disappointed and hugely regret buying it. I now just spend £2 a month and buy a crossword magazine. Much better.
Very disappointing

After waiting a couple of months for the release of CrossworDS I wish I had not bothered.The questions vary from Olympic medalists over the past 40 years, Nobel peace winners, American plate codes and other strange questions.The crosswords are repetitive and although advertised as containing 2700 puzzles that means 500 in 5 different languages. My advice don't bother.

Desperately disappointing. I love crosswords so awaited this with excitement; only to find something clunky and basic in its navigation, plus boring, repetitive clues. It is also very American- based and not for the European market. This is just not even comparable with most brain teasing games.
A Huge Disappointment

Being a lover of crosswords I ordered this game many months ago but now that I've got it I really wish that I hadn't bothered. I am so disappointed with it. All the puzzles are the same, you keep getting the same questions time and time again. Unless you know who got medals at the olympics from the last 40 years, Asian and African mountains and rivers, Nobel prize (or price as they word it) winners from years ago, abbreviations for countries and the international plates for different countries then don't bother as these questions are repeated every game and even 2 or 3 times in each game and that was all on the easy mode. It also seems to consider pigs, geese, moose etc. as domestic pets!!! All in all a complete waste of money and time waiting for it.
Very disappointed

Have been waiting for this since I got my DS at the beginning of the year. Ordered it to take on holiday, and am really disappointed.
I suppose it may be great if you know every country's number plate code - in the first 3 crosswords I did I think I was asked for 5 number plate codes. There may be a large number of crosswords to attempt, but questions are very repetitive (again, in the first few crosswords I have received the clue 'Domestic animal' at least 3 times, with a different answer each time).
Many of the answers, even after 'cheating' to find them, made no sense at all, despite ploughing through the dictionary and thesaurus.
I would not recommend this to anyone, and after several hours trying to get my head around it will probably never use it again.
A huge disappointment.
Not as good as I thought it would be...

I enjoy crosswords, and usually complete them - so thought i'd give this game a go. Although its a good challenge, I found it quite hard to answer... (and that was on the easy mode!)

Boring, repetitive and generally a bit disappointing having waited so long for its release :-(

I enjoy a crossword but found this a little repetitive and eventually boring.
Could do with having some side games/challenges but I suppose it just does what it says on the box - crosswords.
