A pretty solid start to the Professor Layton franchise. I'll admit that I had try and keep my expectations low after playing through Unwound Future last year, but I still think this game holds up mostly fine. You do spend an eternity and a half just wandering around the main part of town though, so that can get a bit monotonous, and the game REALLY likes sliding puzzles and matchbox puzzles. I think they really improved upon puzzle variety and matched that up with the environment better in the later games, so I'm looking forward to playing more soon.
