 Charming style; Great game to introduce new gamersNov 19, 2009
I tried for years to get my sister to give video games a try - she loved watching when I played. I gave her Link's Awakening on the old Game Boy to get her started. She got stuck and eventually gave up. I tried pressing other games on her, but the real time fighting elements were a bit intimidating for her. She always enjoyed helping with the puzzle elements of Zelda, so I figured puzzle games would be good - but she got bored with the lack of storyline, etc in most of those puzzle games. This is a fantastic mix of being a game of puzzles, but having enough story to motivate the player to go all the way to the "end". This is the first game with a plot my sister has finished, and I'm excited to finally see her having fun with games!
Both of us were able to finish in less than a week and did not require any outside help from guides or websites. The great thing about this game is there are easy, medium, and hard versions of some of the puzzles, and you can apply what you learned in solving the easier version to solving the harder versions. There's a great sense of accomplishment there. Some of the "hints" in a few puzzles did not help at all, but since you can still move on in the game's story without solving everything, you can afford to leave a few and come back later.
The biggest disappointment was the ending, a bit anti-climactic. It had me going "Was that all?" I say this as someone who's gone through hundreds of games/anime/manga plots. I would not necessarily feel like "watching" this story again. But the atmosphere and style of animation is charming, and it's great to go through at least once. I would definitely recommend this game as a way to ease people into the fun of playing video games.

Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box The Game is really fun and challenging, I would highly recommend it. It kept my interest.
 Hours and hours and NEVER boringNov 16, 2009
I'm a 49 year old mom and hardly a newbie when it comes to video games. This adventure is so engrossing and so varied that you're never bored. There are so many different puzzles, clever games to solve and an entire series of fascinating and unique mini games, that I was kept going for weeks and weeks. Often, I couldn't wait to get home to play. This is a must-have game and very entertaining!
love the professor layton gamesNov 14, 2009
an interesting game for both young and old
love the puzzles and the storyline
this is a great travel game
Solved! Find a game for everyone.Nov 13, 2009
If you prefer thought-provoking intrigue to explosions and shooting, give this game a try. A remarkable game for people who like logic and puzzles. The music is some of the best I've found in a DS game and the bonuses, such as being able to replay scenes from the game or listen to music, are wonderful upgrades from the previous Professor Layton. The hint function is very good but some of the problems are exceptionally difficult and require extra time and effort to solve. Other problems can be as easily (or more so) solved by a child. I can't wait for the next installment.
