I think that I can easily say that Professor Layton is one of my favorite DS series of games. I really enjoyed playing through Professor Layton and the Curious Village, and I couldnt wait to get my hands on the next game in the series. Two hours (and twenty puzzles) in, and I am having a blast.
For those of you not familiar with the series, Professor Layton is a “puzzleholic.” The game entails you navigating Professor Layton and his apprentice through a world map of sorts, and you interact with either people or the environment to find puzzles. Some of these puzzles are mandatory and must be solved in order to advance through the game, while others are purely optional (but you still get points for completing them.)
