 Excellent and Addictive Game November 28, 2008
I love this game, a story with puzzles to solve and find it very addictive. Basically it starts with an introduction to a story, you use your stylus to touch the screen where you discover, hint coins (which come in handy to solve some of the puzzles), puzzles and info from villagers who also usually give you a puzzle to do. You also collect picture fragments, gadget parts and furniture to furnish the two rooms the main character rent.
It is easy to save at any point in the game and you don't get killed and have to redo anything. It is just a straight forward story, laced with hidden clues and puzzles.
It graphics are fine but not to the standard of the latest consoles but for a handheld console they are fine. The gameplay is reminiscent of times gone by and games like Monkey Island. You touch a character and a speech bubble opens up and you read what they are saying (a good point for the kids who need to practise their reading).
Some of the puzzles are harder than others, so far I have only been really stuck on one and had to resort to the online guide. Some puzzles can to worked out quickly, others it is a process of elimination, others the hint coins come in really handy and help. I would aim the game for the older child upwards.
I definitely recommend it for puzzle lovers as it is more entertaining than doing the normal puzzle games like Brain Training and the like.
Best Ever November 28, 2008

Since having my DS Ive bought lots of games. After playing them once or twice Ive got bored and put them down and never actually finishing the game.Since buying The Prof game Ive yet to put it down.Some of the puzzles are easy and some have driven me to distraction,but needless to say its addictive.I'd like to know how some have finished it in 10 hours.When I thought I had solved a puzzle in a particular room/area/surrounding and then revisit the same place I find another puzzle. ITS BRILLIANT!!!!! I cant wait for the sequel. I would recommend this game to anyone and everyone no matter what age.
Excellent November 28, 2008
This game is just fantastic. Buy it. By far the best game on DS o far - if you like puzzles that is.
Excellent Game!! November 27, 2008
As soon as this game was being advertised on TV, I was straight down to the shops, (even before they had got it in!). I didn't want to miss out on this puzzle game so I got it from Amazon (got it from Caiman USA on UK Amazon at a very reasonable price (cheaper then the local woolworths was selling for!. As soon as I got it I played it for 10 hours none stop..... only one puzzle I cannot get my head around, even with the cheats! (The one that you have to turn two taps on to get water into the bath.... answers on a postcard please!)Totally enjoyed this game, guess I was lucky to get it when I did as the local shops have now sold out!

55 You've got to be kidding, I've never come across a game for 55 before, avoid buying, otherwise they'll all charge this much.
