Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box (Nintendo DS) Review

I was first attracted to Professor Layton and the Curious Village with its cute graphics. The game was enjoyable that at the last part I was hoping for another installment for Nintendo DS. Finally Professor Layton and Luke comes back with another brainteaser adventure in Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box.

For those new to the game, Professor Layton in all its series is a unique puzzle game for Nintendo DS and DSi that mixes an engrossing storyline and entertaining characters spread throughout a variety of environments, with addictive and varied stylus-driven puzzle play.

In this game you take on more than 150 puzzles included with the game, and more available via download, as you challenge your senses and logic to eventually solve a puzzling mystery.

Professor Layton and th Diabolical Box takes further the original game, with more locations to explore, significantly more animated cutscenes and the deeper level of voice talent employed.

*spoiler alert*

In this installment of Professor Layton, Dr. Schrader turns up dead with no clear answer as to why, it's up to the renowned puzzle-solver and his apprentice, Luke, to unravel the mystery. The only clue thus far is a train ticket for the Molentary Express. What could it mean, and who — or what — might have caused Dr. Schrader's death? In order to find out, Professor Layton and Luke will embark on an odyssey filled with challenging puzzles which may lead them to an object known as the Elysian Box, rumored to kill all who open it.

The puzzles which are around every corner and nook are great - some are more difficult then others and for the most part I have solved the ones given - hint coins that are found throughout the game can come in very handy especially if you need more clues and solve the puzzle quickly. Some puzzles are really hard that I used quite a lot of hint coins just to solve it.

Now get those brain cells moving by downloading Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box free.
