Professor Layton & the Curious Village for Nintendo DS Reviews by Gamers

this game wasn't as great as I thought it was going to be. the puzzles made me feel like I trying to solve problems on a grade school standardized test. Also, it seemed like there was a lot of unnecessary character dialogue and I spent more time tapping the stylus to get through it than I did doing the actual puzzles.

Professor Layton and the Curious Village is for any person who loves a little challenge. Layton, as well as his apprentice Luke, are a wonderful duo in this imaginative game that captures the mind.
The story begins as with a simple quest; go to the aid of Lady Dahlia who lives in a 'curious village' appropriately named St. Mystere. Even before you arrive, you are hit with a puzzle- not a real stumper- but one all the same. Similar puzzles will be revealed all throughout the game in a way that is not frustrating or annoying, which is good if you're a gamer who likes to play for hours on end.
The only problem I had with this game was the music- a constant never ending accordion tune that becomes a problem during puzzle solving. Otherwise, I'd say that this adventure was well worth the money.
