D+PAD Writes:
The Professor Layton series has become one of the most successful franchises to emerge from the Nintendo DS. Professor Layton and the Spectre’s Call (renamed from the Last Spectre in the US for reasons unfathomable) is the fourth entry in the series and the first to delve into its own past, presenting itself as a prequel to the first game, detailing how the Professor and Luke met and joined forces. It says a lot about the attention to story in these games that such a hook is actually a draw for this game; one of the master-strokes of the whole Layton series has been the marrying of traditional puzzle elements with strong narrative and characters, giving players more reason to keep playing than a simple desire to prove their mental acuity.
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.
