Just released in NA, it's the second game in the Professor Layton series. Anyone else getting/got it o_0? And what are your thoughts on the series?

I came here to make this thread. I am definitely playing this today, the first game was incredible. The animation is beautiful and the puzzles are really engaging. I can't explain why, because I normally hate puzzles. I was enchanted by The Curious Village and am very much looking forward to this game.

This seems to be turning into a habit of mine... (Of course, I hardly think that matters at this point)

Anyway, I haven't bought a DS game in ages, but after looking into this game, perhaps that'll change sometime soon.

I'm going to pick this up today (since we didn't get it in last night). I'll probably play it at work tonight.

I'm gonna go buy it tomorrow. Looks pretty fantastic. The first game was really engaging, and I loved the style of it. But it was way too short... Hopefully that'll change here.

I'm thirty puzzles in and that is one of only like three or four puzzles that has required me to put in any effort at all. this game definitely has an easier start than the curious village.

Just finished it tonight. The ending was a little , but oh well.

I feel like there were more visual puzzles in this game, which I didn't like as much. But pretty solid overall.

Spoiler:
The ending made me cry.


I liked the newish puzzle style more. It's just that the puzzles were a bit too easy compared to the last game. Of course I still wasted far too long on those slide puzzles.

Spoiler:
I still don't get how it's 50$, I had to guess it with randomthinkingTM to figure it out.


I guess I have to update my layout with a quote he actually said though...

I just ran into an 80 picarats slide puzzle. I guess that's what I get for complaining about how easy all of these puzzles have been.. but this feels more irritating than anything.

The one where the lady comes in and pays with a fake bill.

Finally got around to beating this. I'm not really satisfied with the ending, but whatever. Still a great experience and I look forward to the next installment. Someone told me they are making a cartoon as well.

So.. I'm almost done this game... few thoughts.

That said. They need to localize the movies.
