Professor Layton and the Curious Village

Yes, for the most part all this game consists of is you going up to a person and them giving you a random brain teaser. Nothing all that special about it, the teasers range from rather easy to insanely difficult. So you feel really smart and accomplished one moment and the next you feel like a moron. To much of the game is just a repeat of this process with the brain teasers just coming out of no where not really having a bearing on what you are doing to solve the case. You are just handed a random puzzle out of the blue, I was thinking they would be incorporated more in solving the case and be relevant to what you were doing. So what is the story? Professor Layton is summoned to a mysterious village to sort the details of the passing of a wealthy man there. Apparently, the man who passed left something of extreme value in the town and some of his family wishes for him to find it as it seems to be only findable when you figure out random clues scattered through the town. So there you have it, actually the story is a highpoint as I wanted to know the secret of the town and the mysterious tower in the middle of town. I kind of suspected something was up with the townsfolk, however the end of the game was a bit of a surprise. This game would have been more fun though had they incorporated brain teasers into the town where they were relevant to what you were doing.
