Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box review

[gemstar102]

i finished the story today, only a week after i got it. I'm so addicted to it!

[asianmaddness]

many of the puzzles are hard as fuck

[KeikoTeddy]

I am stuck in Folsense, I am trying to get to the museum but the a**hole cop won't let us up there...

[Warlockfoxfire]

Best Puzzle games on the DS <3

[AkatsukiKisame1]

oh, so its a puzzle game.

[IrishGodThe4th]

one of the best series out there

[perthforme]

its not fair we have to wait so long for the new game

[ZeronRebirth]

The box isn't wooden btw.

[McHomeslice456]

@ZeronRebirth SPOILER ALERT!!! lol

[eXpertdrumming]

Is there a need to play the curious village before this one or does it matter?

[Mugsi]

Not really. There's a few things here and there that wouldn't make sense unless you played Curious Village, but nothing significant. Plus, the story's cool too!

[Dav1oMagnific0]

@eXpertdrumming

I don't think it matters, but it's probably my favorite DS game. I highly recommend getting it.

[Dannyboy500]

is it called pandoras box or the diabolical box?

[neospacian1]

depends, the first one is from UK and the other is from US they are the same game but have different names

[Mugsi]

Eurpean and Australian version is called Pandora's Box. American one is Diabolical Box. Why is that? No one knows and I'll be damned if anyone cares.

[kding214]

I am so getting that.. lol jst try and stop me

[kding214]

Can't wait to get it

[Bigngreen]

hmm.... might get this for my little brother

[PokeNaruBleach]

9 out of 10 is actually a good score. :D

[Kebabbish]

i completed the the storyline of the game yesterday, now just got to complete the puzzles i got stuck on xD brilliant game, i recommend it not just to puzzle game-lovers but also to adventure game-lovers. love it :D

[VegiterianLove]

How the hell do you solve the garbage can and box one its soo hard and the tree one too.

[YAHSNUM1]

oh my gosh the tree one! i skipped that lol! I just finished the trash one but i finished it in like 45 moves : (

[101stsurvivor]

the ending made me laugh so hard! :D

[29Samantha95]

it's pandora's box... and it's and amazing story. I know the answer to the train ticket so if anyone needs help let me know... and it came out in England on the 25th of september.

[mumcabs]

I think I know, is it the number 3? Thanks

[mumcabs]

Do you now how to get the rubbish down to the bin. I've put the blue blocks in top right and bottom, but it's those big yellow ones that stump me.

[triviumfan1000]

mhm im waiting for the 2nd

anyone know what happens on the extra bit on the first one from the code off the 2nd game? : )

just wondering

[charraze111]

Im from the UK and proffesor layton and the curious village gets a 10/10. I cant wait to get the second one. Its called over her proffesor layton and pandoras box

[PollyPerreguin]

i like this game alot so far picked it up for $40 at EB Games great time killer at work during lunch

[orjyazm]

you gave fear 2 less than this!!! im amazed. you must dig those puzzle games

[jonnyharding101]

ds games suck there not even games nintendo were did u go wrong

[EBHughsThe1st]

Have you played any of them?

[jonnyharding101]

ive watched my gf playing it it looked gay

[EBHughsThe1st]

Looking "gay" is different then playing "gay". It's a fun game, but if you deem it "gay", ten just go back to Xbox Live. But try it before you judge.

[MojoSmelz]

i've completed both and i'm waiting sooo badly for the next one about time or something like that!!!!!!

[Hamhark98]

They have 6 games planned. 3 in the original trilogy and then 3 for the new trilogy. I think Japan is already goign on the second trilogy.

[bikerkidnd]

snooze fest not my type of game oh well...

[TickleMaButt]

Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box a.k.a Brain torture

[TheWorldWideGamer]

i never new it was out in us

[Darkbeatdk]

I found Professor Layton frustrating... I've always felt that way with math.

[Zevl12]

His voice is so generic its almost insane

[InSyncGaming]

What about the Pandora's Box? Or did they rename it?

[ildsc]

its got different names in different parts of the world

[masterfolk]

pandora's box, devils's box, diabolical box, and in the game its called something different, so many names lol

[Ke1raak]

yeh the numbers might be wierd but i subscribed because i love gaming and this guy does a great job of summarising games in about 2 mins and gives honest informed opinions related to other games on the market.

[darkshiney]

So when is the release date for the UK?

[PSP729]

25th September

[WWWQDD]

9/10 ... this first 9/10 i have seen since i watch Gamesweasel

[rat14841]

me too i gess they payed a lot for that 9/10... hehe

not from any english country

[smileWertom12]

well, Professor Layton IS good I guess

[kmajorr]

9/10 !!!!!!!!!!!!? I'm shocked :X

[tapp3r]

wot 9/10?? but it is a kids game isn't it?

[freaknr1]

It's a GOOD kids game, which makes kids use their little grey cells instead of shooting lots of silly things from the latest dreamworks-movie or brush the hair of barbie. And does it have to be a kids-game just because it has cute graphics? I love blood and gore as much as the next guy, but sometimes it's great with some cute and colorful style.

Btw, great review gamesweasel-guy.

[Richardy4283]

I couldnt agree more.

[PurepOis0n123]

i dont get why everyone is so shocked...i've seen 9/10 from him before on other games...besides this game deserves it also "freaknr1" is completely right, i applaud someone who doesnt just say "but its a kids game!!!!!!" or "WTF 9/10 for that?"....If you havent played the game dont say other people are wrong about their score on it.

[olimuckm]

@freaknr1

Yes it is great for kids, although I suggest they have help from an adult until they get the hang of things.

Its also good for adults too. Its a good game to buy with the DS too get them used to it.

[Mallachor]

and kids games cant be good ??

You forget that all games are kids games in the grownup world.

[Corruptoid]

Nope, it's not a kids game.

[LurverOfTehAnime]

It starts off with someone being murdered...not too kid friendly

[UnderCoverSalmon]

Might have to get this

[JukemDrawles89]

looks good but i'll stick to console games

[xFroobs]

ds IS a console

[ir0kdude]

nice
