What Others Say
The best DS game I've played
This game is perfect. I can't imagine anyone not enjoying this game unless you simply don't like puzzles. It's entertaining, challenging and makes you never want to put it down. I would recommend this for everyone.
wonderful fun
i found this game to be quite difficult at times. although it is fun to play, it is a bit hard to figure out the puzzels. you definetly need to be a bit older than your average youngester. but all in all not bad.
COMPLETELY ADDICTIVE. . .and we're in our 20s!
THIS GAME IS AWESOME. I am a woman in my late 20s and I am definitely not someone that is normally into video games, but this game is amazing!! Honestly, I am the 27-year-old girl with the pink Nintendo DS in a white case so that it doens't look like I am playing video games and normally I like Brain Age and Crossword puzzle games. I could not put it down Professor Layton! The puzzles on their own are completely challenging and fun, but when paired with the storyline it makes it even better. My boyfriend, who is also in his late 20s and not a huge video game person, also loved it. We were on vacation and we played this game every day. I liked that you could play this game with another person because you can both solve the puzzles together. ... Read More
Not just for kids. Has challenging Logic Puzzles. Love it!!
I got this in the 3 for 2 deal and I am so glad I did. It is fun to follow the mystery story but it doesn't stop there. Each time you proceed forward they stop you to solve a problem. I must admit I've had to try more than one and I'm only 10 puzzles into the game.
I play all the Brain games and thought this a great choice to still be challenging my brain but having a bit of wimsy. Highly recommend. For children you have to be able to read as parts are spoken and others are written.
Interesting
This is more puzzle oriented than I thought. I guess I believed it was more along the lines of the game Hotel Dusk: more realistic puzzles in real circumstances that deal with the plot rather than random brain teasers. However, Curious Village picks your brain in good ways, keeps it healthy along with a good and intriguing story with charming characters. I would definitely say this: I'd rather play Curious Village and deal with the riddles that progress the plot, that in turn, develop the story and have it keep my interest than, say, play Brain Age, (or any game of the like) any day. :D
