Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box (DS) Reviews

Let me just start by saying, do not go in to this expecting another Curious Village. It uses the same concept, which is always a breath of fresh air with most companies today seeming to just release any old rubbish, but the puzzles themselves are a lot simpler than they were in their predecessor. Having said this, the storyline is a lot deeper ...  Read the complete review

I loved Professor Layton and the Curious Village so had to buy 'Diabolical box'. I have to say that I think that this game is better than the first. For a start, the game is longer. I was a little annoyed at how short 'Curious Village' was so was pleased to find that this game is longer - and with more of those all important ...  Read the complete review

The Diabolical Box is the name for this game in the US, in the UK its called Pandoras Box. This is the second much awaited installment in the Professor Layton series, the first game has pretty much stayed in the top 10 DS games since its release so this had a lot to live up to. The game follows a smiliar structure to the first game ...  Read the complete review

Well, having read a few reviews of this game I thought Id share my opinions on the follow up to "The Curious Village" First impressions were that the game and graphics were going to be a follow on from the first and we were going to be treated to more of the same. However, I was suprised by some parts and a bit disappointed ...  Read the complete review

So I pre ordered this game and it arrived in the post from ...  Read the complete review

Professor Layton is back on the dual screened wonder again to deliver and even more exiting adventure. I personally fell in love with the first game (which I'm still trekking through the hidden and on-line puzzles) and I jumped to the opportunity to buy the sequel. The game Diabolical Box (Or Pandora's Box depending where where you live) ...  Read the complete review

After the success of Professor Layton and the Curious Village (nobody could get hold of one for me for Christmas when it was released!), I had high hopes that this game would be just as entertaining... and it is! The story in true Professor Layton style isn't exactly obvious as your work your way through the puzzles, but there are ...  Read the complete review

Professor Layton and Pandora's Box takes is considerable more addictive than the Prefessors first outing, in the curious village. This game has a great story thread to in, and unlike the curious village you dont feel restricted to a certain area. The story takes you on a much more lavish journey, with amazing graphics and plot lines. There is also ...  Read the complete review

I really loved Professor Layton and the Curious Village, so was delighted when this sequel became available. The new game essentially takes the format of the original, together with a few add-ons. So, you have the overall story of a mystery to be solved by exploring the area and talking to its inhabitants, picking up information along ...  Read the complete review

Although I was completely addicted to this game for a couple of days I felt as though it was far too similar to the first one, which isn't always a bad thing, and at some points in ...  Read the complete review
