	yog-sothot posted 05/04/2010, 06:16 I've just finished the game, very sweet,the story is maybe a bit weird but I love the characters and atmosphere. That kind of games is just perfect for the DS imo. Exactly what I'm looking for with a handeld. Message \| Report

	Majin-Tenshinhan posted 25/11/2009, 11:36 It's tracking better than the previous one in both America and Others actually. If legs can hold it up, it may well sell even better than the first one did! Message \| Report

	Majin-Tenshinhan posted 29/10/2009, 07:39 Just finished it, and it's every bit as great as the first one. Can't wait for them to bring #3 over here. Message \| Report

	nordlead posted 12/09/2009, 01:27 You can probably beat both in 10 hours if you are really good at puzzles. I just finished off the main story on this one in 13 hours, but I still have the bonus rooms and about 9 puzzles I missed in the game. Also, tack on the 30+ weekly download puzzles. Mind you, I did waste a lot of time on some puzzles that I didn't solve (the 80+ picarats ones are really tough) Both games are really worth the money. Message \| Report
	keywe666 posted 09/09/2009, 01:29 how long is this game? and how long is curious village? Message \| Report
	nordlead posted 08/09/2009, 07:08 I agree that Curious Village is better, but this is still a great game. If you want the more charming game, get Curious Village. If you want the game with the darker storyline, get Diabolical Box. Message \| Report
	whatz3rname posted 01/09/2009, 11:19 Just beat it. Not as good Curious Village in my opinion (the story was weaker), but it's a really great game. No doubt about it. Now bring on the Final Time-Travel! Message \| Report
	whatz3rname posted 27/08/2009, 12:45 Got it today. Going to play it tonight. With a nice cup of tea, of course ;) Message \| Report
	RPG_Fanatic posted 27/08/2009, 02:08 Layton Get. This definitely has much better presentation. More cut scenes and more voicework with moving mouths during non FMV scenes. Message \| Report

	*~Onna76~* posted 20/12/2007, 04:47 You need to your brains to play this game indeed, but it AIN'T a brain training game!! Its a point & click adventure / puzzle game with over 130 different types of puzzles. To get through the game and continuing the story you'll need to solve a certain amount of puzzles. Hint coins are hidden across the entire world to help you out just when you're totally stuck with a puzzle. I've got both versions.... and they're great! Message \| Report
	dajeff posted 20/12/2007, 05:08 I think it is a mystery game, I think it may be kinda like Pheonix Wright meets the Hardy Boys... Message \| Report
	Oyvoyvoyv posted 13/12/2007, 08:34 I believe it is some kind of brain training game. Pandora's box is an impossible excercise, so you probably have to puzzle your way into the final puzzle - Pandora's box. Message \| Report
