Professor Layton and Pandora's Box Reviewed by IncGamers

Did anyone expect the original Layton game, Professor Layton & the Curious Village, to do as well as it did? It certainly deserved to – the brilliant blend of puzzles, characters, story, and humour made it a little gem – but even with the growing casual market on that system, I can't say I expected it to be more than a cult hit. I was very, very happy to be proven wrong when it consistently placed high in the DS sales charts.

Professor Layton and Pandora's Box (or Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box if you're in the States, because as the first Harry Potter taught us, whoever names things reckons that mythological references will go over your head) is a follow-up in very much the same vein.

Maticus5712d ago

Very much enjoyed the first game, looking forward to this one :)

Leord5712d ago

Good score as well, but that Tim dude might be biased...

First Layton is really fun game, I hope at least the same for the second.

I don't think Americans are as dumb as video game producers think.

Seems like a good reason to use "complex" words like "Pandora's Box", to make sure people know what it is, and if they don't know, then they will be enlightened...

Same with Harry Potter. I have never even THOUGHT about the possibility to translate anything from English English to American English...

Totally. I never understood that thing with the first Harry Potter being called "Sorcerer's Stone" over in America.

Eoweniel5712d ago

Hah, never came across a game like this before. Has a somewhat charming, retro feel to it.

Fyzzu5712d ago

Eee I've been waiting for this for awhile. When's the UK release?

Lucreto5712d ago

Play.com said it will be out on the 25th September.
