I like how they manage to explain BS with another BS.
As my first Layton game, it was enjoyable and very challening, I'm glad I've completed it. The main story is bogus, but I like the characters. Can't wait for the crossover with Phoenix Wright
The time travel plot wasn't crazy enough so they created a giant city beneath the real one, but then they decided the time travel plot was needed to increase the amount of BS one person can take so they worked it into the ending.

Ah, its your first Layton game? That explains it. Most of us didn't even blink atSplatt said:I like how they manage to explain BS with another BS.

Well, okay, I blinked a little. This one was a teeeeny bit over the top.

Over the top even for Layton:

The puzzles across the series all seem fairly similar. I did feel as if Lost Future got a bit easier as it went along (or I trained my brain in the arts of the Layton tease).
I didn't really dig the mini-games outside of the first few toy-car stages. I couldn't wrap my head around the parrot game at all and the picture book seemed kinda pointless.
I'm not sure if I'll go back to the game much. I plowed straight through the second-half of the game once the pieces of the story started to fall into place.
Definitely interested to see where we go from here. Is Level 5 taking over the publishing gig? Will they stick to the annual schedule for Layton 4, or will they want the 3DS game out in the west this year as well?

Yeah, just saw that.slaughterking said:One last reminder: The movie begins in 10 minutes.
Of course they're showing it on the kids channel. >_> Oh well, guess I should be happy someone's showing it at all.
edit: seems fairly standard fare so far, not all that great. Although young Luke is adowable. :lol

Well, Super RTL has some decent stuff now and then. They very regularly show Ghibli movies and other Anime as far as I know. Layton was the first and last movie I watched there, though. The amount of commercial breaks is downright offensive. :0
As for the Layton movie: Not that great I think. The German voices were pretty bad (or at least took a lot of time to get used to) and lacked the charm of the US games. The puzzle implementation was even more forced than in the games (the huge 001 was hilarious) and I didn't care much for the story. Hearing the classic Layton tunes was cool, though.
Oh, and the movie had some magnificent chest hair. :lol

I've been tempted by the Layton movie.
The DVD version was out of stock on Amazon last I checked. I could always used my £15 credit on the DVD/BluRay combo, but I don't foresee any BluRay action in my immediate future.
Hopefully it will end up on UK tv at some point. Or at least one of the on demand services.

Still no word on Specter's Flute, I take it?
I hate having to rely on these companies for "will they or won't they localize?!". Language should be universal *tear*
Also, region-free DVDs so I can get the UK Layton movie.
I'm about 6 hours into Unwound Future. Loving it, of course

Yeah, that preposterous inspector guy and young Luke being cuddly wuddly adorable were the high points of the movie. :lol Didn't like some of the character designs and the animation was middling at best. The references to the games sprinkled throughout the movie (Pandora's Box lying on Schröder's desk in one scene) were also appreciated.slaughterking said:
It was ok, nothing special.
How can you say "nothing special" when it manages to keep the charm of the games i do not know.
It's not an easy task; as a videogame->movie adaptation it IS special.

All it took to stay true to the source material was the same studio that did the games cutscenes and Hino who would write a stupid story. I mean it's not like they outsourced the movie to a western studio that would make live-action adaption. "Keeping the charm" was more or less given, even though the German voices certainly hurt that charm a lot. I may watch the movie again if I ever get the chance to do so with the original English voice cast.

Layton's English voice is the best.

Nice. Too bad NoE doesn't care for my US versions.
I bought this at Best Buy. I was surprised it was on sale for 17.99 and jumped at it without thinking.
It seems to be well put together, but I am stupid because these puzzles are kicking my butt by and large. I hate games that make me feel dumb and yet this one is too adictive. To be fair, I'm scoring perfects on a lot of them, but using up hints onothers. I'm wanting to figure out the story.
However, if this keeps up, I'm going back to Brain Training where I feel special.

Oh? Have you not played either of the first two games?JGS said:
Nope. As a cheap gamer, this is the only one I've ever seen on sale. That's how popular they are. That's why I snatched it up immediately.The_Technomancer said:
I do buy games full price but they are normally established brands I've played before. I wanted to give this a try and then pick up the other ones if I liked it.

Ah, hehe, gotcha. There shouldn't be too many plot points you don't get, although knowing some of the characters from this game will make seeing their first introductions earlier on interesting.JGS said:

Oh man. This was so good. I wasn't expecting much, after not enjoying Diabolical Box nearly as much as The Curious Village, but this totally blew me away. The best in the series so far, and among the best DS games out there. It was a great conclusion to the trilogy, and one of the more touching games I've played.
CAN I HAZ LAYTON 4 NOW LEVEL-5 and NINTENDO?!?! KTHXBAI.

I'm prepared to not get the fourth game at all.
Masked Man
I said wow
Finally got around to playing and finishing this game.
Absolutely beautifully done. Did not expect to cry, but the ending had me in tears--just like PW3, as it were. <3
Only complaint: I get so annoyed hearing Lani Minella's voice. She sounds exactly the same in every role she plays, which makes it especially frustrating to have her voice two characters in one game (Luke and Flora).
