User Comments about the Professor Layton and the Curious Village

It's entertaining, challenging and makes you never want to put it down. This game is perfect. I can't imagine anyone not enjoying this game unless you simply don't like puzzles. I would recommend this for everyone.



you definetly need to be a bit older than your average youngester. i found this game to be quite difficult at times. although it is fun to play, it is a bit hard to figure out the puzzels. but all in all not bad.



My only complaint is that it ends when you solve the puzzle. THIS GAME IS AWESOME. Also, you can put it down and pick it up whenever you'd like, so it's good for playing on my commute to work. I think this game might be too difficult for young children, but teens and adults would like it. I am a woman in my late 20s and I am definitely not someone that is normally into video games, but this game is amazing. I liked that you could play this game with another person because you can both solve the puzzles together. Honestly, I am the 27-year-old girl with the pink Nintendo DS in a white case so that it doens't look like I am playing video games and normally I like Brain Age and Crossword puzzle games.


We were on vacation and we played this game every day. The puzzles on their own are completely challenging and fun, but when paired with the storyline it makes it even better. I could not put it down Professor Layton. My boyfriend, who is also in his late 20s and not a huge video game person, also loved it. I would HIGHLY recommend this game for anyone that likes puzzles.


I got this in the 3 for 2 deal and I am so glad I did. Highly recommend. I must admit I've had to try more than one and I'm only 10 puzzles into the game.I play all the Brain games and thought this a great choice to still be challenging my brain but having a bit of wimsy. It is fun to follow the mystery story but it doesn't stop there. Each time you proceed forward they stop you to solve a problem. For children you have to be able to read as parts are spoken and others are written.



I would definitely say this: I'd rather play Curious Village and deal with the riddles that progress the plot, that in turn, develop the story and have it keep my interest than, say, play Brain Age, (or any game of the like) any day. I guess I believed it was more along the lines of the game Hotel Dusk: more realistic puzzles in real circumstances that deal with the plot rather than random brain teasers. This is more puzzle oriented than I thought. However, Curious Village picks your brain in good ways, keeps it healthy along with a good and intriguing story with charming characters. :D
