retroed Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 I am disappointed in the lack of excitement on here for this game. I am saving it from page 2 by posting this: KEY INFORMATIONIn the curious village of St. Mystere, townsfolk speak to each other in riddles, lock their doors with sliding puzzles and hide their secrets within brainteasers. When a wealthy baron passes away, his will reveals an elusive treasure hidden someplace inside the village. Now it’s up to Professor Layton to untangle St. Mystere’s riddles and puzzles, find the hidden treasure, and crack the case. * As Professor Layton, players tackle more than 130 puzzles as they unravel the mysteries of the village. Challenges range from mazes and riddles to logic and sliding puzzles, many of which are new for the North American release. Touch-screen controls make working through puzzles a snap for players of all skill levels, and new puzzles are available weekly for download via Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection. * Unlike other puzzle-driven titles, Professor Layton is the first to offer a story, cast of characters and style that are just as strong as the game play. Fully voiced animated scenes bring the story to life, while the funny and eccentric villagers and the classic, hand-drawn art provide a stylish charm that will appeal to gamers and non-gamers alike. Game storyline: When the wealthy Baron Augustus Reinhold passes away, his will reveals a hidden treasure in the village of St. Mystere. Unable to locate the treasure themselves, the baron’s family calls upon renowned puzzle expert Professor Layton and his apprentice, Luke, for help. Upon the pair’s arrival, their search for the treasure is interrupted by the suspicious death of another member of the Reinhold family. Now with two mysteries on their hands, Professor Layton and Luke must work their way through the village’s many puzzles, riddles and brainteasers to find the truth. How to progress through the game: The storyline and puzzles are tightly integrated, so that as you explore the world and progress through the adventure, you will encounter more and more puzzles. Many of the puzzles are new to the North American release. Characters: Archaeologist and puzzle master Professor Layton, his wide-eyed apprentice, Luke, and a host of quirky townsfolk. Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Content: Each week for half a year, a new puzzle will be available for download via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Bring it on!

Hendo Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Even though there's been a load of info about it, I still don't know enough about it to know why there's so much excitement. What did the dev do before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I finally watched both the trailers that Ed posted before and I can see the attraction. It reminds me of those puzzle books you used to get where you were a wee nipper. Like, the ones about moving a fox, chicken or bag of grain across a river, that kind of thing. This, is a very good thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoobie Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I've been playing this over the weekend and I think it is brilliant - solved around 60 puzzles so far - some very very easy and some have stumped me for a while. They do seem to be getting harder tho... Im stuck on one at the moment and cant bring myself to go forward until I have solved it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
