Sue who?

I would like someone to explain the following thing to me.

Query: What's the big deal about Sudoku?

Since any given Sudoku problem is algorithmically solvable (or if you're feeling really lazy, a "brute force" search of the domain), the only challenge to a human is that humans are typically incapable of rigorously following a complex algorithm.

So.... what's the appeal?

Edit 1: Just so we're all on the same page here, when I mean a "brute-force" search, I mean a Brute Force Search algorithm, as would be implemented in a computer program.
