The lack of love I see for proffesor layton in the thread is disturbing.

What do you want me to say? I'm waiting patiently for the next game ot come out so I can devour it and if the Professor Layton movie gets released here, I am going opening day to check it out. There's love. There's just not much to say.

You can officially count me in for spreading the Layton love. I loved the first game, which led to many random outbursts of "Leeeuuke, my boy, this reminds me of a PUZzle!"

Well, I know that. Still, I thought people would be more excited.

However, I agree all we can do for now is wait.

Isn't Layton pretty heavily changed for localization when it comes to the puzzles used?

vudu · « **Reply #29 on:** August 14, 2009, 06:45:10 PM »

Some puzzles are (mostly the ones that involve puns, double meanings, etc.) because they don't translate very well.

As I understand it, a lot of puzzles that were from the Japanese Layton 2 were put in the first American version, which is partly the reason why it took so long for a sequel to arrive over here.

Ah that is interesting. Well I can't wait for this game!

I just got our early review copy of Professor Layton 2. In short, it's awesome.

I am eternally jealous. At least for the next week ....

I completely forgot that this was coming out so soon! The first game was absolutely delightful, and there is no doubt within my mind that the second will be any different. Though I do wonder how they will play off the puzzle theme again considering the entire awkwardness of villagers randomly pulling Layton aside to do puzzles was due to them being dolls. Curiosity and anticipation settling in!

Sundoulos · « **Reply #35 on:** August 21, 2009, 09:18:05 AM »

My wife ordered this for my birthday on Monday...the only problem is that Amazon isn't sending it until the 31st. Noooooooo!

Seriously, can't wait though. This is the only game that could keep me from playing the Metroid Prime Trilogy.

Holy crap! Spoilers!?! Well, so much for playing the first game. Totally ruined.

Oh dear, my apologies! Just let me add spoiler tags to t...

I just finished playing the first Professor Layton 4 days and completing all challenges. I get why people are so excited. I loved this game. One of the few games where I actually kept playing the game steady and wanted to finish it all. So many games I start and stop and start and stop. This game I made the time to keep going through it. Awesome game. Can't wait for the next one.

Well, if you couldn't tell I wasn't being serious, the fact that I quoted your post and did not add spoiler tags would be a tip-off. Plus, I was actually doing it for the benefit of those who have not played the game. Although, it isn't that hard to figure out as you play the game. It starts to become pretty obvious.

Although, on a side-note, I do often end up playing games long after they are released since I want to buy them at a cheaper rate. However, this often means many things will get spoiled by the time I do play the game. This is one of those rare times where I am actually on top of things. I guess that's the trade-off for waiting but I wonder, should there be an expiry date for spoilers?

Elixir · « **Reply #39 on:** August 22, 2009, 04:20:36 AM »

Well a joke quote gets a joke response, no? =)

And how about if you have not played the original of a sequel (there is a bit of gray in this area, I must admit, like the Zelda series), or should I say "direct sequel" like Layton pretty much is, then you do not enter a thread about said sequel? It does not make much sense to do so, really, and it can be frustrating to think about what needs to and what not needs to be spoiler-tagged in such a situation.

Now obviously when this game comes out I will be spoiler-tagging spoilers accordingly, as everyone else.

So... who's got it? Who's beat it? Who's made sweet love to it?

I have done the latter two.

Sundoulos · « **Reply #42 on:** September 03, 2009, 11:42:58 AM »

Amazon finally delivered this to my mail box yesterday evening. I got to play a few hours, and I love it so far. I couldn't put it down. The story and setting both have a more compelling hook this time, IMHO, and I love the fact that some of the puzzles seem to be more directly connected to the mystery or setting at hand.

Loved the last game; I'm sure that I love this one even more. I only hope that Nintendo doesn't wait so long to localize the third game.

vudu · « **Reply #43 on:** September 03, 2009, 02:40:52 PM »

As much as I'm sure to love this game, I decided not to get it right away. I'm currently playing through Henry Hatsworth and starting September 15 Scribblenauts is going to own my soul.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #44 on:** September 03, 2009, 02:48:28 PM »

I want to get this game but I still haven't even completed the first game!

vudu · « **Reply #45 on:** September 03, 2009, 02:56:08 PM »

Still stuck on the princess box?

I'm not stuck anywhere, it is just one of those things where it got put in my backlog with 50 bazillion other games.

mantidor · « **Reply #47 on:** September 03, 2009, 03:58:03 PM »

God Damn! this game finally comes out and I'm in deep debt ;_; argh

bosshogx · « **Reply #48 on:** September 06, 2009, 09:43:49 AM »

One of my friends is a huge Layton fan and got me playing the first one a while back. He's been a non-stop chatterbox over the sequel. Then he surprises me by penning this comic:

Should I be worried?

It depends.
