Finally, this fabalous game by Level-5 is being released in Europe. The game has been released February 15, 2007 in Japan and February 10, 2008 in US. Therefore, we European gamers must’ve imported this game to enjoy the massive fun that is packed into this game.

Actually, the Professor Layton series contains 3 games (first one was only released in Japan, and the third is yet to be released), and there is also some rumours about an upcoming movie.

Professor Layton is an English gentleman, and he and his apprentice and assistant Luke is being invited to a village called St. Mystere by Late Dahlia, widow of the late Baron Reinhold. Their mission is to solve the mystery of the Golden Apple. The Baron stated in his testament that the one who can find the Golden Apple, would inherit everthing he possessed. The problem is that no one in the village know about the Golden Apple, and what it is.

Now you have to navigate Layton and Luke through the village, solve puzzles, find hidden paths, and solve the mysteries you meet on your adventure. And never did I believe that it would be this thrilling and fun to solve good old puzzles. There are about 130 puzzles around in the game, and you will unlock more as bonuses throughout the game, and you can download new puzzles through WI-FI.

All in all this is one of the best games I’ve played on the DS till now, and probably one of the best adventure/puzzle game I have ever played. The story and cinematics of this game will give you goosebumps! A must buy!
