GameXplain: "There's something inherently appealing about the Professor Layton series. The Professor is quiet, unassuming, and is more likely to have a cup of tea than do anything action-oriented yet he's one of my favorite characters of the last few years. And after four games, I think I understand why. He has the same kind of appeal as Sherlock Holmes: little development of the titular character from adventure to adventure, but it doesn't matter because he's likable and you just want to see what kind of mystery he's going to encounter next. And that's the key, Layton is a fantastic character through and through and his games, while never changing in any major ways from iteration to iteration, are just plain fun. Professor Layton and the Last Specter continues that tradition and I find myself already excited for the next big adventure."
With the latest Professor Layton game, The Miracle Mask, now available, SuperPhillip Central ranks the Professor Layton games from least greatest to greatest.
"Blue, sunny skies are perfect weather conditions for puzzle-solving, so contends Hershel Layton, main protagonist of the Professor Layton series of games. Citing the need for a clear mind and a level head, such advice leads me to question why we often categorize the solving of puzzles as a rainy day activity. Nevertheless, it is that very sort of ahead-of-the-game thinking that quickly bore within me a desire to connect with this well-mannered character type from his first adventure in Curious Village." -- Wiiloveit.com
I was looking forward to an insightful, or at the very least intelligent discussion of the Professor Layton series. I found neither.
This article is -profoundly- poorly written.
My guess is that it was either written by a high school student suffering under the mistaken delusion that he or she has some talent with writing... or, perhaps more likely, someone for whom English is a second, third or fourth language.
tl;dr don't waste you're time, folks.
