You begin the story by being introduced to "Professor ...  Read the complete review

I got this game for christmas a couple of years ago and at the time I hadn't heard of the game, I'm not sure why because I'm quite an avid Nintendo fan, so this must have completely slipped straight through my gaming radar, so I was slightly confused when I opened it up, but I'm really glad that I got it now. There is only one ...  Read the complete review

I am completely obsessed with the Layton gaming series! They are addictive, challenging and engaging from start to finish. This particular game was the first of the series, originally released in 2008, and according to Amazon, has been in the top 100 bestsellers chart for the DS for over 900 days, demonstrating its overwhelming ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

You must all excuse me for my lack of input on this site over the last week, I have been totally engrossed playing Professor Layton and the Curious Village on DS. And I can see, from the fact that I am the writing review number 164 on the subject, that quite a few other Dooyooers love the game too! So what is all the hype ...  Read the complete review

I very recently wrote a review on the sequel to this, Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box (Pandora's Box in some countries). Which makes it fairly hard to write a review for this game, as they are so similar. But here goes. The game is entirely based around puzzles (or riddles as they like to call them). The story can only ...  Read the complete review

Another game for the Nintendo DS I have played on numerous occasions is the Professor Layton mysteries and they are great games but the one I have managed to get all the way through was the Curious Village game and you play the role of two people and one is Professor Layton and the other in theory is his sidekick Luke. You ...  Read the complete review

I bought this game as the main reason I bought a DS was to play these games where you have to think a bit. And Proffessor Layton and The Curious Villiage is certainly one of them! The game has a lot of depth to it. Although you're following a set path, so to speak, the amount of challenging puzzles to complete seems endless! You can ...  Read the complete review

This game takes puzzle games to a whole new level. You play throughout this game and at certain points you have a puzzle you must complete. Some puzzles are easy, some a lot harder. This game is good because it allows you to have fun and think logically. In my opinion I found that this story dragged on a bit too long and I ...  Read the complete review

Professor Layton and the curious village is, along with its sequel, the largest and most varying puzzle game on the DS. It contains around 120 unique puzzles of varying difficulty. Where this game differs from other simple puzzlers though, is in its story mode. The gamer plays the role of puzzle expert, professor Layton, and ...  Read the complete review

I am not a 'gamer' so please don't expect a gamer's opinion on this game. I am just a humble soul who might try to get to grips with a PC, video or console game now and again, and try to get some fun and enjoyment from it. I tend to approach such games with some caution, as I am absolutely useless at them in ...  Read the complete review

Since buying my DS two and a bit years ago, I have always liked playing puzzle games on it most, as they seem to distract me from whatever is going on at the time. So when I saw this game advertised I was quite excited. I was all up for buying it straight away, but as I continued to look around for the best bargain (as you do) I noticed ...  Read the complete review
