After playing Curious Village I was hooked on Professor Layton and Luke. I have just started playing the Diabolical Box and couldnt put it down for 5 hours solid. There appears to be more puzzles and helpful little hands that pop up if you try to move away from a particular scene without finding all the puzzles in it. Very cool! Movements and controls are very much the same as in Curious Village and the hint coins found in the same way. The story is already captivating with the return of some of the same characters as in Curious Village. The voice/sound over is my favourite being clear English accents and common english phrases. The train is wonderful and is packed with very interesting characters and already several little mysteries to solve as well as the larger one within the main story line. The effects are fabulous and I cant wait to continue playing. Truly addictive. It is wonderful to have a game which presents so many layers: puzzles, mysteries, story lines, effects and features as well as having bonus mini games and is so easy to follow. Even with a lengthy break the ‘trunk’ allows you to catch up to where you left off reminding you of imortant finds, solved mysteries, mysteries yet to solve and a way forward. Its brilliant. Everyone should play this game. It encompasses many features and is a pure delight to play. I am living at the moment to finish work and get home to uncover more delights that this game has to offer! Buy it, play it, you wont be disappointed.
