Finally, we are treated to a second fix of Professor Layton! I pre-ordered this way back in July for my mum as a suprise as she loved it. unfortunately, she hasnt wanted to play it until she finishes decorating otherwise she says she will never get the decorating done!
So i decided to play it. And i have just completed it about 2 minutes ago! I have to say, i think it’s a lot better than the first one, and that was great. I love the idea of travelling on the Molentary Express. And stopping off at places to explore. The puzzles were quite easy at first so i was concerned that there would be no challenge here, but they did get harder! so much so that i have to admit, i looked on the net for solutions to some of them. this was after spending over an hour myself trying to figure them out. The story line is brilliant! and the cutscenes are awesome, i could just watch a whole game full of them. I love the accents too.
Also you get this fat hamster you have to excercise to make him lose weight, and you get to name him. He’s so cute! Even though i’ve completed the main game, i still have about 20 puzzles i need to complete, and also the extra’s too which i wont go too much into. There’s also a thing as you go along where if you get certain puzzles right you get ingriediants to brew your own tea. i wasnt keen on this feature at first, but as you explore places, you see some people need a drink and you have to brew the right tea up for them, it’s actually really good!
I loved this game, i loved the storyline, i cant wait for number 3 although i shall be patient! lol. enjoy!

I love this game, and I am just sorry that there are not more games out there like this one.
It follows the story of Professor Layton and Luke once again on a magical mystery tour. The puzzles do start off very easy, but I can see why, as I have now moved onto puzzles that my partner is also finding very difficult to solve, which is why I agree that this is no game for anyone under the age of ten, there are games designed for kids that age, and they would find them alot more fun. I would say that the only part of this game suitable for a child that young would be the hamster mini game where you have to help a hamster lose weight. Speaking of hamsters, there are three mini games in total alongside the main game itself, which are a welcome break from puzzle solving, as trust me, your brain will soon start to hurt. I love the graphics of this game, particularly when you watch the pre programmed scenes, and as another viewer says this would make a great tv series or film. The story line is brilliant, and not at all predictable like I first thought. I cannot give too much away here, but play the game and you will see what I mean. I have not yet finished the game, but can honestly say that I am addicted, and just felt I had to write a review now.

I cannot put this down. It is every bit as good and addictive as the first one, but I think the story – so far – is better. I love the characters, some of whom were in the first, and the graphics and animation are superb. I’d like to play this like a conventional RPG, with the buttons and be able to explore freely, but using the stylus in the way it’s used doesn’t take anything away from the game at all. It’s great whatever way it’s played.
One thing I would like to tell anyone who buys it second hand. Make sure the train ticket is in the instruction book or in the box as it is needed for one of the puzzles that needs to be answered to continue the story. The answer can be guessed, of course, but it’s far nicer to be able to do the puzzle and this ticket is needed to do that one puzzle.
Great game.
