Escapist: "We should really be tired of hanging out with Professor Hershel Layton by now. Charming though he may be, his games are all cut from the same basic cloth, combining a bizarre mystery with an even more bizarre assortment of puzzle-obsessed characters. And yet his latest adventure, Professor Layton and the Last Specter (DS) is just as enchanting as his very first outing. The typical Layton trappings are there, from the way the story progresses to the characters to the quips about his hat, and even some of the puzzles will feel a bit too familiar, but they're presented so perfectly that you'll quickly forget you've seen any of it before."
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.
