Professor Layton: The best puzzle game on DS


After 15 hours, 120 puzzles, and lots of brain power later, I have finally finished Professor Layton and the Mysterious Village. It is the best puzzle game out there on the DS. The puzzles are great, and the story is even better.

For those who don't know what this game is about. The story revolves around a 19th century looking town/village where Professor Layton and his assistant, Luke, were invited to solve a great mystery known as the "Golden Seed". The professor and sidekick need to solve puzzles from villagers before solving that big great mystery.

It's a bit like Sherlock Holmes and "my dear Watson".

The puzzles are not too hard, but enough to make use of that tiny brain of yours. A lot of them are trick questions, so you need to read the question very carefully.

Unfortunately it's only in Japanese, and if you don't know the language, or don't know someone who does, it could be problematic. However, help is on hand. I'm writing a FAQ that will detail all the questions (and answers, just in case you're too lazy to figure it out). It should be at GameFAQs soonish.

Read my review at GameFAQs.

If you want to import it, PlayAsia is having 20% until next Thursday, so you better be quick. If you love puzzle game, get this game. You won't regret it.
