The fully voiced movies, hand-drawn art style, and cast of eccentric characters bring the story to life and are sure to charm puzzle fans young and old.

Review: Still diabolical! - My first Professor Layton game was Unwound Future, so I am backtracking with Diabolical Box. Not that it makes much difference as all the Prof Layton games can be played on their own and out of order. I enjoyed this game even more than Unwound Future. I found the puzzles to be more entertaining and I liked the puzzle progressions with the peg games and chess games. The characters were more distinct and finely drawn, making for memorable characters such as Sammy Thunder, Babette, and Anton. I'm however still searching for a reason for the Flora character, and found it disturbing that the gentleman that Professor Layton claims to be did not rush back to Dropstone to rescue her when she was kidnapped, but rather left her locked up in a barn for the duration of the adventure. Doesn't send the best message to our female gamers. I liked the extras, the tea game, the camera, and the hamster game, although I found the hamster game too easy. But once complete he sniffed out hint coins for me, so completing the hamster game early was tactically advantageous. I'm still working through all the bonus material but fully intend to buy the remaining Professor Layton games once I've completed this one. An enjoyable and challenging game, well worth the price.
Review: Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box: High-Quality Mystery - As you might already be able to tell, I love this game. The animation style is great, something you don't find anywhere else. The music is terrific and also one-of-a-kind as far as I know. But of course the most important part is the puzzles. Professor Layton is a puzzle game and the overall quality of the game rests almost completely on the quality of the puzzles, which is terrific. As a caveat, I would caution younger players that if they have little interest in puzzles, this is not the game for you. The puzzles range from easy to wildly difficult, but some time and ESPECIALLY thinking outside the box will allow success. Most puzzles hinge on the ability of the player to think outside the box. On the other hand, if you aren't afraid of a little thinking, this game is charming and terrific, benefiting from the great backbone of puzzles, as well as the entertaining storyline and terrific graphics and music. If you like puzzles, this is the game for you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just As Good As The First One - Maybe Better
*by P***R on March 10, 2010*

By now, the first installment of Professor Layton is well-known to DS owners as perhaps the best non-action game ever made for the platform. This second installment may be even better. The concept is exactly the same: you travel with Professor Layton throughout an interesting narrative, solving brain-teaser puzzles along the way. You are given some latitude, but ultimately you must solve the majority of the puzzles to "win" the game and solve the mystery. This game, despite having the same type of puzzles as the first one, is still different and fresh. The main story is different and interesting. What's better about this game is there is more actual animated sequences in the game, which adds to its cinematic quality. What's not quite as good is some of the puzzles seem a bit forced -like the authors had to really wrack their brains to come up with new ones. Overall a wonderful experience - my 9 year old daughter and I solved this game together. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much her puzzle-solving skills had progressed after the first game. She could solve a large percentage of the puzzles. This may be the only DS game you don't mind letting your kid play for hours!
