For those of you unfamiliar with Zendoku its a project from a long awaited and legendary developer Zoonami. Zoonami is a development studio founded by legendary developer Martin Hollis. Martin Hollis founded it in year 2000 and it has three projects that have been in developement. Zenduko is the first of the three projects to be released and it looks like a doozy.


Zenduko is simply amazing a game we've never seen done before sort of like Soduko on crack or in the words of Zoonami themselves "Sudoku with Ninja's" Zoonami took that innocent game grandparents like playing in their newspapers and turned it into something all ages can enjoy. Zendoku features no standard Sudoku gameplay instead features numerous in game modes that make it so much more. The game includes four playable modes Zen , Classic , AttackBox and Quest.


Quest - is the primary story line and you progress from weaker to stronger opponents as you play. Watch the story unravel and your opponents learn from your mistakes as you continue to progress through the game to acheive final victory.

Zen -
Beat the clock using themed symbols instead of standard numbers in one of five difficulties. These five difficulties rang from easy to master and will have you playing for hours.

AttackBox - Learn to defend against various attacks unlocked accorss your journey as you master them you will unlock more and more to aid you in your ventures.

Classic - For all those grandparent's out their or simply the gamers not into the high velocity intense Ninja action they can choose classic. In Classic mode you play traditional Soduko with no time limit you can choose between 5 ranges of difficulty from easy to master.

But thats not all the game features local wireless gameplay too, this spices things up as you take on your friends enemies or some random guy you challenge on the street. You don't all need a cartridge this game only requires one so challenge anybody you see and have fun kicking can.Their are two different online modes including Battle and Co-Op and their pretty self explanitory. Now you can play mutliplayer Sudoku on the go and not just normal Sudoku but Ninjafied Sudoku!



Oh and Did I forget, theirs mini-games. What would a game on DS be without mini-games these games add to the game giving you some breaks between Zendoku Battles. Just watch how fast you can master the many mini-games that help you advance through the game to your final goal.

look for this game to hit your local gamestore shelves next month or pre-order now at your local GameStop or EBGames. pre-orders can be placed online as well according to the Zenduko website! So far I think its looking like a killer game whats your take?
