Nintendo – Professor Layton and the Curious Village Reviews

IT Reviews reviews the Nintendo – Professor Layton and the Curious Village and writes;

“The earlier puzzles are good confidence builders, but it doesn’t take long for the difficulty level to ramp up, and for the hairs on your head to shrivel up in anticipation of being pulled out. Some of the problems are really quite ingenious, others frustrating, but it’s easily the most challenging brain workout you can find on the Nintendo DS….A fun, engaging, terrific value puzzle game that offers a lot of brain prodding for your outlay. It’s not perfect, but it’s very good.”

Gamespot reviews the Nintendo – Professor Layton and the Curious Village and writes;

“The story mode’s 120 or so puzzles cover a wide variety of types; you’ll need to move matchsticks, answer riddles, draw objects, solve math problems, place chess pieces, and much, much more…Professor Layton is one of those addictive games that’s incredibly hard to put down once you get into it. Thankfully, it’s pretty lengthy. It should take you anywhere from 13 to 17 hours to finish the fantastic story mode, but once you’re done, there’s still more to do. You only need to solve about 80 or 85 puzzles to finish the game, so you’ll probably want to locate and finish the remaining puzzles because they’re so much fun.
