Professor Layton is a hard game, or perhaps it’s the lateral thinking that’s actually hard and that if one were used to such processing it wouldn’t be as taxing. In any case I personally find that sometimes the puzzles require a little more grey matter than I can muster at the time.
For this reason I recently took the game to my friend’s house that has never played a game in her life. She never expressed an interest in such activities but she was very good at puzzles in general. During a chat over a cup of tea we got onto the subject of Professor Layton and my blog. To my surprise she became somewhat interested to find out what all the fuss was about.
So I presented her with the game to show her the first few levels and see what she thought. What a revelation that was! The expression; Duck to water, comes to mind. She flew through the first five levels, a point in which I got stuck several times. She was so absorbed by the game that I am yet to get my DSlite back as she’s borrowed it indefinitely. I don’t mind though as I treated myself to a new DSi this x-mas.
I’m a bit dismayed now though because she keeps talking about Hershel Layton as if he’s a real person which is slightly weird. But it is nice to have a friend whom shares an interest as much as I, especially as she’s never done this sort of thing before and I feel that I’ve taught her something about games; that they are not all immature or violent rubbish.
I think if her interest is maintained I will have to buy her a copy of the game, I’ll probably let her have my DSlite because it had started to collect dust. I just hope she can complete both Professor Layton and the Curious Village, and Professor Layton and Pandora’s Box, before Professor Layton and the Last Time Travel are released later this year so she can help me with that too.
You go girl!
