The Professor Layton Games

[Dodie16]

Just curious as to how many TFFers have picked up any of these titles for the DS and what you all thought of them.

For those that don't know what these games are, it's a series of puzzle-adventure games. You take the role of Professor Layton, who is accompanied by his apprentice Luke, and you set forth to solve mysteries that require your super-sleuthing skills.

I only have the second in the series, and I enjoy it a lot. The animation in the cutscenes is really nice, and the puzzles that you have to solve are really fun! Though sometimes, I do get stuck and have to look up the solution, or ask someone if they know how to solve it.

I also started this thread because I wanted to inform you all that the third game is coming to the DS this September! Well, in the US it is. The game will see a European release in October.

It's titled "Professor Layton and the Unwound Future". And here's the trailer if you want to see it.

Ooooh! I play Professor Layton. I actually really like that game.

I always play it when I'm bored, and have nothing better to do... Whenever I don't feel like playing FF games... XD

I find some of the puzzles a bit difficult for me to figure out but... That's what makes the game fun, is it not? I honestly do love the story line of it too. And... Yeah, I completed both the first game and the second, and waiting to get the third.

..The ending of the second game actually made me cry too... And if it makes me cry, then it's a good game. XD

I love the Professor Layton games! I finished the first one (100%, might I add... ) and I'm now on the second. News of a third one is pretty good news!

... even though October seems to be a big month for all the games I'm getting... >>;

Most of the puzzles are pretty simple, just tricky when you don't know how to do them/where to start. I was rolling in hint coins by the time it got to the hard ones, so it wasn't all that big of a deal for me. xD;

I'm not quite finished with the second game... I'm stuck on a puzzle that you have to complete in order to advance the story, and I'm all out of hint coins... I also want to have a few more shots at it before I go searching for the solution online. Haha...

The ending is on the sad side though, eh? I'm a crier, so it'll probably make the waterworks come on for me too.
