Picross DS is one of those titles that people probably heard of but never gave a chance. This game was made before, but this is the best version of picross i have ever played. the game starts off with 4 packs of puzzles, and the better you play the more puzzles are unlocked. game play can be played in two ways, with the touchscreen (better way) or with the buttons. I feel like there could have been more themes for the game, but that is just a minor complaint, the real reason for buying it is for the puzzles. Also, if you ever complete all the puzzles, you are able to download more puzzles online, even puzzles from older picross games such as Mario's Picross. Overall the game play is easy to control, a lot of puzzles, a daily play mode, and also the ability to make you own puzzles and share them with friends who also have the game make this a must buy for puzzle fans.
