Professor Layton and the Curious Village (DS) Description

With over 130 logical and lateral thinking conundrums immersed in an engrossing and compelling storyline game, and additional puzzles available every week via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, players of all ages everywhere will be challenged to the limit as they search to unravel the hidden secrets of the village St. Mystere! Taking control of two quirky and intriguing characters, Professor Layton and his sidekick Luke, whilst being guided by fully animated cut scenes, players must successfully decipher the numerous taxing puzzles that face them to reveal events and strands of the ever-mysterious storyline. Only when everything has been discovered, all mysteries resolved and the ultimate item – the Golden Apple – recovered, will the player have solved the mystery surrounding St. Mystere. Throughout the game, Professor Layton and Luke will meet the curious townsfolk of St. Mystere who will try and confuse them with riddles and conundrums to hinder their path. Using the Touch Screen to navigate, players must unleash their detective skills to uncover as much information as possible from conversations and the environment around them. Be warned though, a few characters have hidden agendas of their own and will do everything in their power to prevent you from uncovering the truth. Successfully completing a puzzle will see players rewarded with Picarats Points. Storing them safely in Professor Layton’s trusty trunk, the player is to unearth as many of these points as possible to keep track of performance. Puzzles featured are suitable for all ages, however the harder the riddle the more Picarats awarded – so always think twice before giving up so easily! If you do get stuck however, help is on hand in the form of a Hint Coin. Using these will unlock one of three possible hints to help you on your way to successfully understand this baffling town. However, these are hidden treasures so be sure to overturn every stone with the stylus to find them! In addition to overcoming the constant puzzles within the main storyline, there are numerous side missions to keep the mind in full throttle. Completed puzzles may unearth strange items, like parts of machinery, furniture and scraps of paintings, which are used in more mind bending and curious mini-games! Even when the challenge is over and the mysteries unravelled, the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection will keep you gripped as new riddles will be available to download on a weekly basis aiming to bamboozle the most curious of minds!

Blending a perfect mix of puzzles, story and point-and-click adventure, Professor Layton is one of the best games available for the DS. Guaranteed to tax even the mightiest of brains this is a game which transcends age and gender and really will have you playing it around the clock until you've solved every last puzzle. Highly recommended.

Professor Layton and the Curious Village is simply a brilliant game. Even though it seems that playing 120 puzzles would be boring, the storyline helps it move along, and makes the game never get boring. Its brilliance was demonstrated by the fact that for a month after launch it was virtually impossible to get a copy (unless you were lucky in a supermarket). Never has a mental game been so much fun.

This is a really good puzzle game, but everything else I felt was lackluster. Forget everything apart from the puzzles and this is a 5* game that will keep you entertained for a very very very long time. I got this game for my Mum on mothers day and she pretty much hasnt been off since. It may be abit complicated for the younguns however so dont get it for a child under 10. The second one is out now (which I havent played yet) so give this and that a look in!

Japan is on it's 4th Professor Layton title and a movie is in the works, which should tell you that this guy is going to be around for a long time. Professor Layton and the Curious Village is a great mystery/puzzle game. You investigate the titular village and slowly uncover the secret that lies at the heart of the puzzle infested town. The cut-scenes are amazing, simply stunning animation and you'll be rubbing your eyes thinking "surely this can't be a DS game". It's as perfect as a story driven puzzle game can be. The puzzle's never feel gimmicky or out of place and the story and art style keep you gripped to the stunning conclusion. If you have a DS. Get this game.

I thoroughly enjoyed this one and couldn't leave it alone until I'd solved all the puzzles and mysteries. I lost my way on a couple of occasions and ended up covering some ground again, acquiring answers from characters which I'd already received and used as clues, which was quite annoying, but my fault! Some of the puzzles are very challenging and require a few attempts, but then that's all part of the challenge. I don't think it's one that can be played more than once as the storyline is constant, but that once is very absorbing. The village setting, graphics and characters have a very strong feeling of rural France about them, which adds to the games charm.
