More than half of the """puzzles""" in this game are complete bullshit/math equations. Cool soundtrack and character writing (not plot - the actual story sucks), though.

Layton tiene puzzles muy buenos, aunque como estructura de juego, se hace cansado y repetitivo después de un rato. La historia es intrigante, pero el desenlace no me gustó porque siento que tiene tintes un poco patriarcales. Está bien, pero no me imagino jugando otro juego de esta saga.

Very charming, with a low-stakes, elegantly introduced setting. These games are very relaxing, although this particular title seemed to have a larger number of puzzles which fell into the categories of "stupidly hard" and "brain-dead easy." I seem to remember the followup (Diabolical Box) having a better balance of puzzle difficulty. Overall an excellent, if somewhat flawed introduction to the series.

I LOVE LAYTON!!! I LOVE PUZZLES!!! HELL YEAH!!!!!!


Utterly charming,! Didn't know a little puzzle game could—and would—capture my heart resonating with me so resolutely. But, here we are

Ca fait bizarre de jouer à ce jeu, il n'a pas de doublage français mdr.

Mais il reste un chouette démarrage pour cette licence culte.

I really don't like the puzzles and how disjointed they feel from the story.

silly little layton game, being the first one in the series it's kinda rough around the edges but it's still pretty charming.
I could fix Don Paolo (or make him worse, depends on the mood)

BRRR LA MUSICA!! LOS PELOS DE PUNTA. profesor layton estoy libre los jueves cuando estoy libre por si quiere shacer algo el jueves cuando estoy libre

I’ve never played a Prof.Layton game before but knew what the premise and gameplay was like. What a charming little game it is.

The storyline was slow to properly start due to the amount of puzzles that halt you - but that being said, it is a puzzle game and there are a lot to get your teeth stuck into.

Some of the puzzles I felt however were worded really strange, which made me come to the wrong solution - but maybe that’s the point for some of them?

I would have liked a little more action put into the narrative - but all in all I had a good time playing and some of the puzzle stumped me for a while.

Was shown this game by an aunt, remember it also being pretty promoted by Nintendo at the time. Fun puzzle game that spawned a series I never got around to playing more of.
