Puzzled about this game? Don't be!

I was very high on this game before it's release. So right from the beginning I had high expectations for this little puzzler. I had to admit so far it has not let me down.

Right off the bat we are introduced to the game through gorgeous cut scenes, and some of the best voice work that I have seen on the DS to date. The backgrounds are very earthy, and you almost seem to melt right into them. The characters are quirky, and also well done. I can't wait to get to know them better. The music is appropriate, all in all the presentation is top notch.

Before long you are thrown into you first puzzle. From the very first puzzle I found myself addicted. The puzzles are fresh, even those that we have seen before are done with beautiful pictures and background stories. The game play is well done, the touch screen is very responsive, and I have yet to have a problem with the controls.

To be honest, the only reason I put it down was because my DS needed to be recharged. :) If you enjoy a good brain teaser than this is a must have for your collection.
