Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box

December 16th, 2009 · No Comments

It’s been a few weeks since I finished Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box. If you have played the first in the series, then you know exactly what you are getting into.

I finished nearly all the puzzles in the game (~115 of ~130?). The story is pretty good, and told well. The little animation snippets are extremely well made. I can’t wait for the feature film. There is a pretty big plot twist at the end of the game. It explains many things (such as why there are puzzles everywhere), but also feels a little bit cheap… sort of like a deus ex machina.

If you liked the first game, you’ll like this one too.
