I've quite recently become a Layton fanboy. When the game first came out I have it a try, I loved the art style, but really disliked the type if puzzles. So I left the game alone.
This all changed when I saw a trailer for the latest game 'Professor Layton and the Lost Future'. It just captured me, loved the style, the voices and the plot behind it.
I mean Steampunk Time Machine for the win! (Also grown up Luke seems awesome.) ^^
I wanted to play this game. But I decided that to do this I would have to play through the first two.
So I dug out the 1st game and played it. Again I was caught by the style, the animated scenes and the voices, and again my brain died when it came to the puzzles. Although this time instead of giving up. I persevered.
I trawled through the games puzzles (many of which made little sense plot wise!) and after a while found myself starting to enjoy them. I'd complete 5-10 puzzles in a row now, without help, or failing many times. It gave me a very nice sense of accomplishment. There where still a few that practically reduced me to tears though.
Soon after I completed the game, and was rather happy with myself.
Good show Professor, your annoying puzzles and charming animation and characters have won me over.
Now to the second game!
Also this new Layton Fanboyness prompted me to buy the film, which I rather enjoyed. I got to enjoy the animation style and the characters without the puzzles!
It wasn't an amazing film though, as the plot is a little flimsy and goes a bit too Japanese xD
They implemented the few puzzles that where in it in quite an interesting way though.
Oh and last thing! There's gonna be a Phoenix Wright vs Professor Layton Game for the 3DS!
I hope to god it comes out here. Seems like it'll be an awesome crossover.
Very interesting style crossover too :D
Anywho that's me off. Have work to do Dx
