Good Game, Too Short

its good and much of a brain teaser. the only problem is that it's too short and too many visual puzzle rather than trick questions

Professor Layton Continues To Puzzle

8/5/2010

The second game in the Professor Layton series, Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box is more challenging and exciting than ever! You don't need to have played the first Professor Layton game to jump right in and be immersed in the fun. Once I picked up this game, I had trouble putting it down. Even though the real focus of the game are the puzzles, which are a tribute to Akira Tago's popular Mental Gymnastics books, the characters are well-rounded and the story's mystery is very entertaining. You'll be just as excited to find out the story behind the Diabolical Box as I was, which makes solving the puzzles even more rewarding. Even after figuring out all of the challenges and watching the story play out, players can access new weekly puzzles, free to download. Though, after solving hundreds of puzzles, I can admit-- it still isn't enough!

I can't wait until the next game in the Professor Layton series is released.

Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box: High-Quality Mystery

6/24/2010

As you might already be able to tell, I love this game. The animation style is great, something you don't find anywhere else. The music is terrific and also one-of-a-kind as far as I know. But of course the most important part is the puzzles. Professor Layton is a puzzle game and the overall quality of the game rests almost completely on the quality of the puzzles, which is terrific. As a caveat, I would caution younger players that if they have little interest in puzzles, this is not the game for you. The puzzles range from easy to wildly difficult, but some time and ESPECIALLY thinking outside the box will allow success. Most puzzles hinge on the ability of the player to think outside the box. On the other hand, if you aren't afraid of a little thinking, this game is charming and terrific, benefiting from the great backbone of puzzles, as well as the entertaining storyline and terrific graphics and music. If you like puzzles, this is the game for you.
