Puzzle Quest vs. Chocobo Tales

So, I've been thinking about getting a new DS game, and I've got my mind set on either Chocobo Tales or Puzzle Quest. I'm not 100% certain which one I want, so I guess I'll ask you all some questions about both

1. How difficult is Puzzle Quest? I have heard it is back-breakingly hard. I don't mind a challenge, but I don't want to attempt the same enemy 4,245 times before I can get to the next level.

2. Also in Puzzle Quest, how much depth is there? I've heard there's a lot, but how many hours of gameplay would you all guess I could get out of the game?

3. On to Chocobo Tales. How good is the card battle game, is it deep enough to just play it, or is the game mostly about the minigames? 

puzzle quest is definitely challenging, but i wouldn't quite say it's back-breaking. yes, certain enemies or bosses take quite a few attempts, but it's not that bad. if you level up enough and correctly, it'll help. there's plenty of depth and hours of game play as you can choose what quests to take on whenver you want to and don't have to do them in any particular order. if you repeat battles to level up, it'll take even longer. i personally am addicted to the game.

i just finished chocobo tales in 22 hours. which i guess isn't a very long game, so i guess it's not very deep. but it was a fun game while it lasted and if you were to complete every little thing, then it'd take a little longer. it is mostly mini-games...a lot of them quite challenging...with a few card battles involved. so if you're looking for card battling, you may want to consider something else.

hope that helps.

I have both and puzzle quest is much much better. Its an RPG with Bejeweled style battles. Chocobo Tales is really kiddy I mean really kiddy to the point that I quit playing.
