The New York Times Crosword game came out yesterday. So far I haven't seen any reviews for it. Do Any of you have it yet? If so is it any good. My wife and I do crosswords a lot togather and this seems like it might be good for us. A preview for it said you could play the same boards vrs or cooperative.

I've been waiting for this to come out ever since I saw it on Gamespot. Once the rom becomes available, I'm gonna give it a try. If I get it before it shows up here, I'll let you know how it is.The New York Times Crosword game came out yesterday. So far I haven't seen any reviews for it. Do Any of you have it yet?

I think if you're a crossword person, then you will automatically like this game, no matter how it is.

I'm certainly going to check this out. It fits perfectly with my current gaming trend which is playing stuff like the Japanese Jiggsaw Puzzle games. Stuff I'd never do in real life but am more than willing to give a try on my little DS machine. God I love my DS.

It was very sucsseful with the Sudoku game so I don't see why this one wouldn't just as sucsefull. people don't like having to carry around a big awkward newspaper when they could just use their DSi cant believ people would pay for crossword games when you can juts do them in your paper!

Totally off target soccerdude. I'd never work a pen and paper crossword, but the idea of having it on my DS makes me want to try it out.

I got it and it is really true to the NYT crosswords. There is a daily puzzle with Mon. being easiest and of course Sun. is the most difficult. Also, a quick puzzle option and wi-fi co-op and some sort of head to head I've yet to try out. It is what it is--and it does what it does very well. I'm curious to see how many puzzles are actually on the cart.

But it's so convenient on the DS! You can literally play with it whenever, and you don't have to worry about space constraints and whatnot. You also don't have to wait until the next day for new ones.On the other hand, crosswords puzzles just aren't the same without you spreading the whole thing out on the table.i cant believ people would pay for crossword games when you can juts do them in your paper!

My girlfriend has this game and I have to say it's pretty addicting. I would definitely recommend it if you're a fan of crossword puzzles. It makes it so much easier to make guesses, since you don't have to erase your horrible penciled in mistakes on a thin sheet of recycled newspaper.

This title is far and away the best Crosswords title I've seen on any platform (and I've tried a few).Wouldn't it be great if there were a cryptic crosswords title as well?
