    It's better served as an exceptional entertainment experience rather than an exceptional game.

    Puzzle Agent is a interesting take on the puzzle-adventure genre that's happy to poke fun at the sheer oddity of a puzzle-obsessed town.

    Nelson Tethers' adventure to Scoggins, Minnesota may be short-lived, but it'll certainly entertain you.

    Complaints aside, this is a great-looking game with a compelling storyline, good voice acting and intriguing puzzles. It may not be Monkey Island, but it certainly points the way for iPhone/iPad developers to embrace the best parts of old-school game design.

    An interesting minimalist art style and full voice acting makes the game feel like an interactive cartoon at times, and overall fantastic writing supports a genuinely engaging story.

    Yes, Puzzle Agent is a nearly lockstep Professor Layton clone, but unfortunately its puzzles are not as good as its inspiration's stumpers. And that's what ultimately undoes Puzzle Agent.
