Professor Layton and the Curious Village

For:DS Release Date: 7 November 2008
Go to Professor Layton and the Curious Village Nintendo DS Game Index

An adventure game with puzzle-based gameplay. First of a trilogy.

VideoGamer Score:

9

Our Verdict: It's not an epic adventure, like Phantom Hourglass, or polished platformer, like New Super Mario Bros., but in many ways Professor Layton is better than both those games.
