If you like clues, mysteries and DS games that make you think a little, you’ll probably be intrigued by this new title (expected to be released on February 10). Here’s the official website.
Intrigued? Watch this:
This is the first Layton game to be released in the US (although other Layton games have been released in the Japanese market). I learned about it when I received this mysterious letter:
I’m looking forward to playing this game. It looks like a much more fun way to do brain teasers and logic games because creators wove the games into a mysterious storyline, with appealing characters and English accents. The direction and pace make it feel more like a mini movie than, say, Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney.
Games created from popular movies always stink. So, I say, enough with the lousy movie tie-ins, just give us good games that make us feel like we’re interacting with a new movie. I like that idea.
All in all, Professor Layton and the Curious Village seems to be a promising new game. I’ll update this post as I discover more information (or receive more mysterious letters). Look for it today — wherever you buy DS games!!
