Quantcast



The Professor Layton series is finally getting its second English entry with Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box. This entry of the series will center around the mysterious box mentioned in the title, which seems to cause death to whomever opens it. The gameplay takes place in several different towns, as the Professor and Luke travel around by train to do their interrogating and puzzle solving. While the release date for the game has yet to be announced, there is a whole mess of screenshots and art for you to chew on in the meantime, not to mention the above trailer.

From all of this media, I can deduce that we're getting more of the same stuff that Curious Village gave us, but that is by no means a bad thing.

Cool somke awesome games for the DS (As per usual) but I swear the professor looks like doesn't even care if that box explodes and blows if brains out or something as long as he doesn't have to solve another maths puzzle for some retarded villagers ;D

I shalt not spoileth thee game for me by glaring at the puzzle images. With that said, I want this game sooooo bad! I need to get my Prof Layton fix! Hopefully this game will be harder than the first, which was pretty much all easy. I remember saving up my clue coins (can't remember the proper name) thinking I could use them to unlock stuff at the end of the game, but to my disappointment they meant nothing.

Quick, somebody call Jack Thompson! The game has the word "diabolical box" in it and might be bad for the kids! /sarcasm

... why didn't ANYONE in the media read the press release for the game? It specifically states the release date as Aug. 24, 2009.

Btw, this is my first comment on D.

Why would Layton open the box that kills you!? And why does Luke just stand there!?
