Professor Layton and the Curious Village is unique for a couple of different reasons. First of all, it's very nicely put together with excellent art and animations. The puzzles are excellent and though some of them are mundane and have been seen in many other places before, most are interesting, challenging, and refreshing.
What I'm really enjoying so far, however, is that some of the puzzles are more riddles than actual puzzles. It's not always about counting numbers, not always about fitting shapes together, not always about calculating or measuring.
Sometimes, it's about thinking outside the box. This game doesn't just test your intelligence, but also your insight and intuition. There are points throughout the game where you'll feel so tempted to take a guess at an answer and the feeling of getting it right is one that's fairly lacking from other puzzle games available which, frankly, feels like homework in comparison.
I've only played a few hours into Professor Layton and the Curious Village, but it's immensely enjoyable and would quickly recommend it to anybody else who's interest is piqued by the concept.
