Professor Layton and the Curious Village reviews

The storyline is a bit predictable but it's the puzzles that are really great (and of course the most important aspect of this game). This game is suitable for both children and adults alike. There are some old well-known puzzles and some new ones. Play time is decent, especially if you get stumped on particular puzzles, and can take up to 15 hours to complete the story mode. I still haven't managed to unlock everything! If you really enjoy brain teasers you'll love this game. It's challenging enough for even the keenest puzzle solvers, and makes a change from the regular set of games we usually see on DS. Five stars!

If you enjoy brain teasers and puzzle solving then you will love this game.

I bought this for my wife to play when she was feeling sick. She played it non-stop for 2 days – a total of 24 hours of puzzle time and still hasn't finished all of them.

Engaging story, genuine mystery solving and lots and lots of solveable puzzles.

I finally got my hands on it and can safely say this is one of my favourite games. I am over 1/2 through (in about 6 hours) and loving every minute of gameplay.

A definite purchase. It will challenge you without frustrating you.

Professor Layton and the Curious Village is a puzzle-based 2D point-and-click game. Explore St. Mystere and unlock all of its secrets.

One thing that everyone should be aware of, this is NOT a kids game. Kids would not have the faintest idea of how to solve most of the puzzles presented. The puzzles here are more suitable for a high school student who has the ability to critically think about things.

Great game overall, music does get slightly repetitive and annoying but that's the only downside.

Great fun. An addictive game with plenty of puzzles from really easy to very difficult.
