Wonderful Game
If you are a Picross fan or just looking for an excellent puzzle game, this is the game for you. It builds upon the original 2D experience by adding the 3rd dimension, which in turn makes for a slightly more difficult challenge. Of course, any seasoned puzzle gamer will welcome this added level of difficulty. You'll be hooked from the moment you start playing!

challenging and entertaining
It'd be easy to presume Picross 3D is just a simple, block-busting puzzle game at first glance. However, for all its seeming simplicity, this game has never felt repetitive since I started playing it. I credit this to the fact that, because the subjects are so diverse, the logical approach to each puzzle is never the same. The different game-play modes (timed, one-chance, construction) also keep the game-play interesting. Picross 3D is as entertaining as it is mentally stimulating.

This game is so addicting!
Amazing game and a great take off of the original. The tutorials at the beginning are mandatory and seem to go a little slow; however, they really do explain how to play and are necessary to understand the rules. Everytime I pick it up I can't play just one game - it's hard to put down. I would recommend this for puzzle lovers of all ages... my mom and I are constantly competing over time with the DS after getting this game.
