 Best Game Yet For DS (Fun & Smart!) November 2, 2009
Scott Allen (New York)
My daughter and I played this game for hours on end. This game is an example of how our learning system should be with the technology we have available. "Professor Layton" ties together beautiful animation, an interesting story, and fun educational puzzles to create an enjoyable learning experience. Make no mistake- it's not dreary rote math disguised as a game. It is full of logic puzzles which are very fun to solve.
As far as difficulty, my 9-year-old daughter and I "solved" the complete game in about 12 hours total. We did not hurry. Most of the puzzles are too hard for her, but she enjoyed watching me struggle on them and we shared the "aha!" moment each time we got one right. I think she solved about 20 of the 125 puzzles completely by herself. About 10 of them gave me fits, but I eventually got them.
Best DS game I've ever purchased.
 Puzzles galore October 26, 2009

This game is full of fun puzzles. The trick is to get the most "picarats" possible to unlock hidden features after the game. Use up hint coins no problem, just try to solve the puzzles on the first try. The puzzles range from pretty easy to super difficult. The difficult ones don't come til later in the game as any good difficulty progression should. The story line in this game is a bit lacking, but it doesn't even matter since the emphasis in on the challenging puzzles. The only reason you would be buying this game if for the puzzles anyway. If you love to challenge yourself and don't get discouraged by some failures get this game!

I was a little disappointed that there was no box or flyer with the game. There was also no way for me to cancel the three names already on the game. But I just saved over the onces there with a new name and I played it out. Most of the puzzles are great, but there are a few I just could not figure out. That is OK, I played again....

This game is so much fun. The puzzles are all so different and at different skill levels. It is hard to put it down.
A great mystery/puzzle game! October 5, 2009

After reading about the hype for the sequel to this game, and consulting with some of my close friends who had played this one, I decided to give it a shot and hope for the best. And boy was I suprised. The variety of puzzles, in terms of difficulty and type, made this game really engaging. And for the collectors, you can go even further and earn yourself a pat in the back for getting all the puzzles in the game.
The story is engaging and well presented. I love the voice acting, and the animated sequences are well done. The variety of puzzle types kept me on my feet, naturally beign great at some and dismal in others. But don't fret! If you're having a little too much difficulty with a puzzle you can use the "Hint Coins" you discover while exploring the town of St. Mystere. This tended to yield the path to the solution, and the hints only failed me twice to provide a train of thought to the puzzle.
These hiccups were with the harder puzzles you can unlock by collecting all of the standard game's puzzles. I'm still about 10 short of finishing off the whole game, but will probably be getting the sequel as well. I believe it's appropriate for younger kids, as there is no questionable material other than some (possibly) scary moments, but Professor Layton is the perfect hero for this mystery solving game.
