 Keeps me busy for hours July 29, 2008
I work for a security company, and I often find myself in the middle of nowhere with nothing to look at and nobody to talk to. This makes falling asleep a serious risk, as in a risk to my employment and potentially a risk to the people and property I'm protecting. How do I avoid this problem? Playing games like this.
As you wander the village trying to solve various mysteries, people keeping challenging you to solve various puzzles they give you. I must admit, sometimes, all you want to do is enjoy solving the mysteries and the number of puzzles you have to deal with at times can be annoying once in a while, it keeps your brain active, and the puzzles range from easy but makes you feel smarter for knowing the answer so fast all the way to spending far more time then you would ever expected it would take to solve a puzzle in a game rated E for everyone. The cover makes the game look childish, but take my word for it, it keeps adults guessing too.
It was worth every penny to buy this game.
Best Puzzle Game for the DS July 29, 2008
Part puzzle, part adventure. This is one clever little game. This game is completely story driven and as you explore you find new puzzles to solve. The artwork is gorgeous and the production value is exceptionally high. Took me 25 hours to complete the game which does not include the additional bonus puzzles. There's also a new downloadable puzzle available each week. This is probably one of the best games available for the DS. Theres a wide variety of puzzle types with a wide range of difficulty which are well balanced throughout the game. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ONE!!!!
Can't Wait for the Sequel July 28, 2008
This is my favorite of all the DS games. I'm now playing it a second time through and taking it slowly so I can enjoy it even more. The puzzles are just challenging enough, and the graphics and story are excellent. I've already watched trailers for the sequel and can't wait until it is out. Definitely recommended!
Great for adults as well as kids July 25, 2008
I bought this game for myself after reading these great reviews. What I found was that the reviews are all correct. This is a great game. And the best part of it was that my 7 yr old daughter picked it up and is well into solving many of these riddles and puzzles.
Both of us love it. Even my 4yr old wants to play this but obviously cannot without a lot of help. But the mere fact that they want to play this game tells me that they like it too.
Fun for all ages July 24, 2008
If you like riddles and puzzles, then you will like this game. I got so addicted to playing, that I finished most of the game in about a week. Once you complete all the puzzles, there really is no point in going back to play the game. I completed all, but about five of the puzzles. This was fun for me and my husband to play and try to figure out together. My son (11 years old) had fun playing this game too, some of the puzzles are a little hard for kids. This is a 'pass it on' game or 'trade it in' game. I 'passed it on' to my mom (60 years old), she called me and told me that her and my dad are addicted! If you hate thinking too much, you WILL hate this game! I loved it! I hope that come out with another!
