 For younger kids September 19, 2008

This game was ok but it was geared for younger players. I thought it would have harder puzzles or timed puzzles but they were fairly easy. I finished it in 3 hours and returned it to the store.
 Arguably the best game on DS September 15, 2008
I added this game to my wish list based on the customer reviews right here on Amazon. When I received it as a gift, I immediately started playing. The reviews here did not disappoint. Few games have measured even close to my favorite video games--and this one just took a spot in the ranks.
The animations reminded me of something out of My Neighbor Mister Totoro or Spirted Away. They were very well done in the hands free story part. The rest of the time, the graphics matched that of SNES.
Some of the puzzles were extremely difficult bordering on unsolvable, but most required just enough thought and work. Many puzzles were geared towards high-school and older children (some algebra). I can't imagine anyone under 12 getting very far.
The story and the plot were entertaining and interesting and kept my interest. However, if you're not a fan of long stories, this might be somewhat irritating. There are some portions that are click and read, but few can't be bypassed quickly.
All in all, I beat the game in 9 hours of playtime, but still have not finished all of the puzzles (there are 120, I think I completed 95). Once you've completed the game, you're still able to go back and work on the rest of the puzzles.
This is one of my favorite games and I'm glad it was gifted. Highly recommended.
 great game September 10, 2008
This game was a lot of fun. I found myself playing it whenever I had a chance. The artwork may lead you to believe that it's intended for children, but the puzzles are complex enough that any adult will enjoy solving them. I highly recomend this game for anybody who enjoys puzzle type games.
One of the best DS games ever. September 7, 2008
I had heard so much hype about this game and it is well deserved. The 100+ mini-puzzles are fun, all the while keeping you on track to the bigger picture which is the big mystery of the curious village. Definitely a good buy.
Loved it! September 6, 2008
Bought this for my 11 year old's birthday. She absolutely loved it - couldn't put it down. We searched for another game similar, but haven't been able to find one. Hoping another will be available soon.
