 ... guide Professor Layton around, following him on the map on the top screen. The game involves reading what characters say to you as well as sections of high quality animation which can only be enjoyed with the volume up. Some of the characters are endearing and you enjoy getting to know them, others are just irritating. When you have completed the story, the game is not over. In completing the story you open up secret games that are of a much higher level of difficulty (some of which I claim to be impossible ;-)). Desp...more

Let me say right off the bat that Professor Layton and the Curious Village is like no game you've ever played before. In fact, it's one of those titles that really challenges the typical convention of a video game -- even more so than such titles as Brain Age or Nintendogs. Those games, while unique, are "games" through and through. Professor Layton, however, is not. It is essentially a compilation of puzzles -- cool, brain-bending puzzles to be sure, but puzzles nonetheless. This is the one thing that kept me away from Professor Layton for a while, but let me assuage any fears you may have. If you're apprehensive about picking up this game because ...  Read the complete review

Professor Layton and The Curious Village (DS): Will Curiosity kill the game? (550 words)

I received this game from my brother a few Christmas' ago. He bought it for me due to my love of puzzle games like the Monkey Island series. I've never been the biggest computer game player but every now and again a game comes along that I just can't put down. The game is about Professor Layton and his apprentice Luke and their adventures to find out what secrets the village holds. The people in the village will cause you problems and hold secrets, only giving away information if you solve puzzles and answer questions. Each game has it's own story to tell, the curious village of St Mystere being the setting for the first of what is now 4 (i think) ...  Read the complete review

The first of the Layton challenges and my personal favourite! Brought for my hubby at Christmas (when it first went on general sale) because we were seduced by the hype of the television advert. My initial scepticism was 1(is the game really aimed at adults and 2) will there be enough content within to keep the interst up to justify the then £30 or so price tag? and right from the word go it was very clear that this was going to be a formidable game and something quite different from the usual handhelds that we are used to. The game play is based around the story of the title character Professor Layton told through visual motion animations, stunning stills ...  Read the complete review

It's not very often I buy something for myself but recenty I've been testing out my twins new DS games and have really grown to love my own DS again so I decided to treat myself to a new game as I don't think I've bought one since I had my DS 2 years ago! I didn't go out looking for anything in particular but my friend reccomended trying out a Professor Layton game as she knows I enjoy puzzles. I came across Profressor Layton and the Curious Village and decided to try this one. Throughout this game you play as Professor Layton, or now and then his little friend / helper Luke. You find yourself in a 'Curious' Village, it's all very old ...  Read the complete review
