This is one of my favorite games of all time! The puzzles are challenging, but fun, and the plot was 10 times better than some books. The sound is amazing, but the puzzle music annoys me so I turn it off. I had never played Layton before, and thought it was gonna be a game I could pick up and it would entertain me for an hour or so. However, once I started it, I could not put it down!!! The puzzles are so much fun and the plot is extremely enthralling (I cried a little at the end). The characters were very well done and the voice acting was almost as good as Uncharted. Of course, if you don't like puzzles, you'll hate this game. But, if you've played any of the other Laytons or are new to the series and like puzzles, you will LOVE it!

This game has a good story and evil villans. The animation they use too make the short clips are simply breathtaking. You gotta give a thumbs up for the art design in this game. I give it a ten.

It is definitely seen as a niche genre, and takes brain power to solve. Not for Children, it just is too difficult! But it is this amazing series that has gained so many sales for the DS platform, which has let us know that this is no ordinary puzzle game! Fantastic, movie like cut scenes, and a charming adventure combined with the most riddle-some puzzles. There is no better puzzle game out there, and I could argue for the developers sake that it must be in the top 5 DS Series as well.

I picked this game up while looking for a challenging puzzle game to play; I'm 26 and needed something besides a Brain Age-type game to make playing the game fun. I love how this Professor Layton game has a captivating and unique storyline and the puzzles are actually hard! I don't know that kids under 11 or 12 could solve a lot of these puzzles; most of them I struggle with myself!

I gave this a 10 because I feel like it's the best puzzle game out there, and it includes a storyline that makes it more intriguing than Brain Age-type games. Also, I may have done it a little backward, but I played this game before the previous Layton games and really like how you're given different color choices on the notes page so you can keep track of which line or note you're making for what part of the puzzle. In the Diabolical Box game, you only get black, which confuses you if you're trying to solve a maze or figure out how many combinations of something you can make.

Overall, I highly recommend this game! Fabulous choice ;)

I am a HUGE Professor Layton fan. i have played all the games and enjoyed each one. this i have to admit is the best one out of all of them. the first was great. the second one was ok but nothing exciting (though i would suggest playing it). this one however to me is the best one. here are the reasons why:this one has the best story by far. it has a great mystery and a really great ending. the ending almost made me cry. (those of you who have played this know what i mean). i also like how, like the first game, they have a whole bunch of harder puzzles at the end, kind of like in the curious village when your ascending the tower. all in all i suggest this game to anyone who likes puzzles, mystery, excitement and action.

This is the first Professor Layton game I have ever had, and I love it. Some of the puzzles or hard, and some are really easy. But it's all fun! When I get stuck on a puzzle, I look up the cheat guides. There's also hints included in the games, but you have to pay hint coins to get them. Each hint costs one coin, and you get the coins by tapping on random things around London. Overall, awesome game. I would totally buy this if your looking for a challenge.

this game is the best in the layton trilogy by far, the story was great, the puzzles were puzzling, the charactors were perfect together, and the twist at the end made me cry........ but overall i hope that the prequal trilogy comes to america
