 Really makes you think August 23, 2010
A. Leckie (Buckinghamshire, England)
Bought this recently as I have quite enjoyed the Brain Training games and this one certainly hasn't let me down.
Professor Layton's Curious Village is a collection of varied brain teasers and puzzles; the general jist is that you wander round the town speaking to people and solving their puzzles in order to solve the larger mystery of the Curious Village, gaining credits for the puzzles you solve. I did worry initially that it might be a little childish or that the puzzles would be really simple but that is not the case. In fact, some of the puzzles are really quite difficult, or so they seem until you really think about it. I got stuck a few times and enlisted the help of my husband who then also got hooked on working out the answer!
My 10 year old nephews also tried to play it for a bit but got bored quite quickly when they couldn't work out the puzzles and started to guess so I would recommend it for kids who are slightly older and have more patience! But mostly I wanted to play it myself.
Overall I wasn't that intrigued by the story and it, irritatingly, gave you a recap every time you turned the game on again and I couldn't find a way to cycle through it quickly. Other than that I would thoroughly recommend it for the enjoyment and as a great way to tease the little grey cells.

Great puzzles and storyline with a twist at the end. Takes a nice while to finish the game so good value for money.
Addictive! July 28, 2010

I bought Professor Layton & The Curious Village after speaking to a friend who was working her way through it. I am not into murder mystery, but oh dear, I am so addicted to Professor Layton & The Curious Village! I love the animation in it, the storyline & how some of the puzzles are easy to solve, whilst others will tax this middle age-ed brain of mine that wee bit more! Will definitely buy the follow up game & I do hope there are plans for more of the same in the Professor Layton range!
Good game to test your brain. July 17, 2010

This is the kind of game to test your brain, ok so mine may not be the best around for working out puzzles but for anyone that likes a bit of a challenge then go ahead and purchase the first of these, when you have completed it you can move on to the newer versions.
I will think about purchasing the next one in line when I finish this one.
