If you play it legit for all 50 levels - I would give it a 5. Soduko uses only basic logic and organization to achieve the answer, but the hardest puzzles require some guessing and backtracking if wrong. I found myself accidentally having the same number twice in a line and had to start all over quite a few times.

 

The only difficult item is playing through 15 levels on shuffle - simply because you need to pretty much play non-stop without too much pausing and no quitting for the trophy to pop. These fifteen took me a few hours to play because I was doing other things at the same time and had to play through 23 levels to get fifteen in a row to count. The puzzles are easy enough (if you follow the guide and go for this trophy straight away) but it still takes some time. Three hours playing Soduko without a break, ain't nobody got time for that.

 

If you use any one of the online resources for solving Soduko, this game is an easy 1 and should be an easy 13 trophies in just a few hours using another computer along with your Vita.

 

So, I give it a 3 to balance both options.

3? It really depends how good you are at sudoku. I did all 50 myself (just using the computer to rush through the shuffle trophy if I had done the puzzle before) and there were a few that I screwed up on and had to redo. But I didn't find "Extra" to be much harder than Hard and I'm only a casual sudoku player.

 

Not related to difficulty but I found the "feature"-type trophies to be unimaginative. They could have come up with better stuff - finish a game at difficulty X in under Y min, finish a puzzle without using notes or the delete/undo button, etc. Still easily cheatable stuff for those who just play for the trophies but more interesting than mindless hitting buttons.

Like mentioned above, there is a greater challenge if you play legit, but I don't imagine most people will.

 

I can't imagine why you'd say that, some of us actually like number puzzles. I did them all legit (ok, I used a solver on one of the final puzzles when I got about halfway and was completely stuck), and I voted 2.

I gave this a 2. I've been doing Sudoku's in puzzle books for a long time, and this game is a lot easier do to being able to erase numbers ingame as opposed to making a mess of newspapers, etc.

 

Really fun game though, and I would recommend people not to cheat their way to beating each puzzle, as they are not difficult anyways.
