我最近設法解釋對一個朋友關於狐狸、雞和蠕蟲。

「它是一個經典難題。? 您在河的一邊有一隻狐狸、一隻雞和一隻蠕蟲。? 您能只運載二他們在小船。 如果您留給狐狸單獨雞,它是否將吃它,并且,如果您留給雞單獨蠕蟲,它是否將吃它。? 怎麼能您安全地得到全部三他們橫跨河?」

我的朋友,從未被演奏 Zork零看我,好像我瘋狂的。? 但我現在有我的復仇,為了我介紹了他 村莊教授Layton和好奇有這個難題變形和他是完全地上癮的。

難題比賽是位outr ? 在過去幾年,因為個人計算機社區從早期的CD-ROM歲月的剩餘恢復了。? 或許它是拖延感覺罪狀被浪費的幾小時花費的演奏 第7個客人.? 典型的難題在今天比賽傾向於是雜耍對解雇的主要事件和乏味。

Professor Layton and the Curious Village is all about good puzzles, what are sometimes called “brainteasers”.? Some of them are straightforward, some of them are trick puzzles.? Some are easy, some are hard.? But nearly all of them are interesting, and they don’t talk down to the player.

The eponymous Professor Layton and his apprentice, Luke, visit the village of St. Mystere to assist in a mysterious bequest.? The villagers of St. Mystere spend their days, and nights, trying to solve puzzles.? As Layton unravels the thread of the game’s plot he will also be presented with well over 100 puzzles, of varied difficulties, by the villagers.

The artwork is beautiful: simple lines, and somehow evocative of the animated film The Triplets of Belleville.? The music, likewise, evokes the French countryside, and if it can get a bit repetitive at times, it still enhances the experience.? That being said, I’m a sucker for accordion music. ? Your mileage may vary. The inhabitants of the village are by turns awkward, fat, ugly, grotesque-looking, and supercilious, so it looks to me as though the authors actually did carefully survey the inhabitants of small French villages before creating the game. ?

Throughout the game you’ll find “hint coins” which can be used to purchase hints on any puzzles.? You’ll also receive different puzzles from the same villagers.? At the end of a given “chapter” of the game, any unsolved puzzles will appear in “Granny Riddleton’s Puzzle Shack”, so there is no way to? permanently miss a puzzle.? It did seem to me that solving a puzzle in Granny’s shack was less satisfying than solving it “on the street,” but that’s entirely a question of mood.

There are also various meta-puzzles along the way that unlock bonus content, and there is extra downloadable content that can be played without impacting the main storyline of the game.

A sequel has already been released in Japan, and work is proceeding on the third game, which I will buy without a second thought.? It’s that good.
