Our Verdict:
Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box keeps the lovely European charm and challenging puzzles of its predecessor intact, with more enjoyable extras this time around. Just mind the particularly shallow story that only loosely ties it all together.
The Good:
- Presentation is superb all around
- puzzles are well-made and satisfying, and nicely integrated during key moments in the story
- minigames are more engaging and contribute to fun meta-games.
The Bad:
- Repeated themes in puzzles
- story is ho-hum Saturday morning cartoon fare
- contrived motivation for characters wanting to puzzle at every whim.
