So, what can I say.... I beat the latest Layton game, and I was once again blown away. I cried at the ending, because of somebody's death. It was really sad, and the no good Jean de Skull is just awful. I really miss Don Paolo. Although Don was evil too, nobody was ever harmed from his games. But although this character did not deserve death, it made for a really good ending. So now, the pros and cons!

Pros:
Its a Professor Layton game, could it be bad????
Some new types of puzzles are very fun!
Awesome plot twists, and unexpected events!
New LONGER movies than ever before!
New areas to explore, new characters to meet!
The return of two unexpected previous characters that I love!!!!
Remi's incredible ninja abilities
Luke's family!!!!! Clark and Brenda Triton
Luke's romance (not saying how it ends!!!!!! BUT IT WAS ADORABLE!!!!!)
Incredible new songs
And a lot more that I dont want to say because of the spoilers....

Cons:
Some recycled songs from previous games excluding Layton and Puzzle Theme
Some recycled puzzles from previous games....
The mini-games were the same from Last Time Travel, just slightly modified (Parrot becomes Fish)
Some mysteries were solved to quickly, and didnt have a great suspense build up
The new song Paxmaveiti is NOT at the Music Selection of the bonus, so you have to beat the
game again to hear it.....

There really isnt a lot of bad, just those few. But I dont speak a word of Japanese, but ~keusike is working on a puzzle guide, other than that... I understood the plot 98% through the cutscenes and pictures. It is definately worth a purchase!
