One type of finish: Sudoku 2 Deluxe

(tags complete, Sudoku, Dual Screen)

Sudoku 2 Deluxe (パズルシリーズ Vol.9 数独２ Deluxe). I put in about 6 hours over the last two days, grabbing all the medals. The last medal was Platinum just like the previous game, but it required you to finish the board in 7 minutes. Not a problem:

Cleared! Now only 350+ boards to go to completely finish the game. LOL. At probably 14 minutes average... About 81 hours. Not a problem.

The star system is in this version. I believe it was introduced in the US version of the first Sudoku. It has helped me become a bit faster. You get full stars if you finish a board in 5 (Easy), 10 (Normal), 20 (Hard), ? (Very Hard) minutes. My Easy board finishes are mainly 1 star off, which infuriates me to no end. I get more perfect stars on the Normal, Hard level, and I haven't dropped a Very Hard level yet. wo_Ot! On the non-perfect boards, I'm just going to take a picture of them and fill it in later.

At first I didn't like the new graphics, but I've grown to like it. The numbers are fuzzy but the board is bigger. I don't like the color schemes, but they don't get in the way. I haven't scratched the surface on the improvements on this game, but I'll save it for next related post.

The commute is going to be counting, over and over again. Speed up!
