I highly, highly recommend getting Professor Layton.  I picked this up today because I wanted to get my hands on this game, and it is living up to the hype.  A terrific puzzle game with interesting story elements and videos.  The art style is to die for, and fits the DS and the DS game experience perfectly.  If you liked Phoenix Wright, then you'll come to love Prof. Layton.  Just watch some of the in-game vids and you'll want to play this mother.

 I love it myself. Penny Arcade has a hilarious comic about it. Language is NSFW, but hilarious nonetheless.

From the guy who doesn't like puzzle or Phoenix Wright games.

Man, I stuggled with that game. I always failed at puzzle solving and problem solving in school. Even after getting the answer, I would be like, "WHAT?...Huh...I still don't get it!...Couldn't it have also been this way?". I over-think and come up with unnessary scenarios. I was hoping there would be a lot more puzzles. I know it's mainly a puzzle game, but the decorating their inn room and putting together a fragmented painting was useless to me. It's a must for puzzle fans, but not so for stupid kids like me who can't accept that a puzzle has to have one rigid answer....hahahha.

Absolutely agree - I had set it aside due to heavy review / Retrospective load, and really enjoyed when I pulled it out.

In the end, I really enjoyed the game, but I agree with you. Many of the puzzles were worded very poorly. Sometimes the language was intentionally ambiguous, but not always. And this inconsistency was extremely frustrating about 20% of the way through the game.

I think you're missing the point a bit. A lot of the puzzles were word play. The key to the puzzle was in the way the wording was made.

A lot of the puzzles were indeed wordplay, but often enough there were puzzles that did NOT involve word play that were poorly worded. So it was difficult going into many of the puzzles not knowing which way to interpret the language.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the "downloads" are done. I put it in quotes because you're not really downloading anything, the puzzles are already on the cart and you unlock each once a week by connecting to wifi.
