    5 Stars Help Professor Layton solve the mystery of The Lost Future Review with images 29/12/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A fantastic game that will keep you intrigued for hours

    Disadvantages Disadvantages When it's completed!

    After being tempted after a short play with my younger sister’s Nintendo DS a couple of years ago I took the plunge and went out and purchased one for myself. To be honest, I was initially of the opinion that it would be one of those gadgets that I would play for a short while, which would eventually be banished to the back of the drawer. However, I couldn’t have been more wrong and whilst I own only a handful of games, my favourite has to be Professor Layton, which I find extremely addictive and very competitive! The first game, namely Professor Layton and the Curious Village kept my mind ... more

    3 Stars Has Professor Layton Lost Its Sparkle? 08/02/2011

    Advantages Advantages Reasonably entertaining, easy to control

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Puzzles too easy, no replay value.

    Having enjoyed the previous editions of the Professor Layton games on the Nintendo DS I eagerly added Professor Layton and the Lost Future to my Christmas list and I was lucky enough to receive a copy from my family. Background Story Professor Layton is a world-renowned archaeologist and an enthusiastic solver of all types of puzzles and mysteries. He is ably assisted by his young apprentice Luke who hopes to emulate the Professors puzzle-solving skill. One week after witnessing a terrible disaster at a scientific demonstration they receive a letter reporting to be sent from Luke but 10 years ... more

    4 Stars Time Travelling Tricks and Treats Review with images 22/02/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Beautifully presented, A good mix of puzzles, Easy to navigate around the game

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A bit long, frustrating in parts, the occasional confusing puzzle

    **Introduction** Having already played the other games in the Professor Layton series of mysteries for the Nintendo DS I was eager to get my hands on the latest instalment; "The Lost Future" and duly added the game to my Christmas list last year. Christmas Day arrived and amongst my presents from my wife the game was included so eagerly I set upon another journey with the Top-Hatted gentlemanly professor and his trusty side kick Luke and attempted to discover the secrets the game had to offer and what the future would be like in the remarkable games inimitable style... **Basics** The familiar ... more

    5 Stars London, but not as we know it! Review with images 14/12/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Addictive!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Those pesky talking animals. Long cutscenes.

    I've not been myself lately..... Although I usually try and post a review on the internet every day, I have been absent for the last few days due to the fact that I have been glued to this new Professor Layton game and of course, for the purpose of a good review, I wanted to complete the whole game before giving my opinion! I was really excited about the release of this game, as I thoroughly enjoyed the first game in the series, The Curious Village. For those who have not played these games and don't know much about them, the Professor Layton trilogy is a series of games quite unlike any other ... more

    3 Stars A Gentleman Leaves No Puzzle Unsolved 06/12/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages good puzzles

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not as good as first 2 games in series

    The Professor Layton series of DS games have been a huge hit, in 2008 the shops all sold out of the ‘Curious Village’ game and they were selling for silly money on eBay as people were desperate to get their hands on them. This game was truly excellent, a 5* game and I spent hours glued to my screen tapping away on the puzzles. 2009 saw the second game ‘Professor Layton and Pandora's Box’ hit the shelves. This time I wasn’t so keen, the puzzles had been dumbed down a bit but it was still a fairly addictive game. Nintendo were obviously keen to capitalize on the popularity of the series by ... more

    5 Stars The longest Professor Layton Game yet 12/12/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Plenty to do, keeps you busy for hours

    Disadvantages Disadvantages More talking than in previous games

    I have owned all of The Professor Layton games so far and so when this one was released it was a must for me. For those of you who are not aware of the Professor Layton game sthey are a series of puzzle games which follow Professor Layton and his apprentice Luke as they set out to solve a mystery. In this game the Mystery is the disapperance of scientists and the Prime Minister in London the disappearances are all linked to a time travelling machine which has blown up. When a letter from the future gets to Professor Layton he a Luke set out about solving the mystery of time travel. The main ... more

    5 Stars It'll make you lose track of time! 03/01/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Long gameplay, good characters and storyline

    Disadvantages Disadvantages That tinkly music! Not being able to find all the puzzles

    I have been fascinated by the Professor Layton games ever since the 1st one, Professor Layton and the Curious Village, followed up by Professor Layton and Pandora’s Box. For those who enjoy games with lots of puzzles which actually last more than an hour than these are perfect. In this adventure Professor Layton and his trusty sidekick Luke team up again when Layton receives a letter from Luke in the future and requesting his help averting a terrible disaster. Professor Layton seems to be almost inspired by Sherlock Holmes with his gentlemanly ways and his ever present top hat! Although in ... more

    4 Stars Professor Layton, the third success! 30/06/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Plenty of puzzled which vary in style and difficulty......see review for more

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Long cut scenes

    This is the third Professor Layton game released for the Nintendo DS in 2010 and after being glued to the first two I couldn't wait to try this one out and it did not disappoint. Outside of Europe and Australia this game is also known as Professor Layton And The Unwound Future so if you are buying online it is the same thing. Price - This came is available on Amazon at the moment from around £7 used and £13 new. I think my mum paid about £45 when it was first released but it has actually been worth it because I think everyone we know has borrowed it at some stage. The game is available in most ... more

    5 Stars Where is the Future?? 13/11/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Interesting ~ Great range of puzzles ~ Good storyline.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None.

    Professor Layton and the Lost Future This is the third game in the Professor Layton series and is just as enjoyable as the last two instalments. I really enjoy these games as I like that you have to solve puzzles in order for the game to progress, the game also has around half an hours worth of video throughout the game showing bit's of what the story is about. The story behind this installment of the game involves Professor Layton and his young apprentice Luke going to witness the unveiling and demonstration of a new time machine. Something goes wrong and people start to disappear. Receiving ... more

    5 Stars my thoughts on this exciting game 01/07/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages More than 165 new puzzles weave seamlessly into the story line.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very time consuming as it has quite a long storyline

    Review I haven't played my d.s. in a while and when i recieved this game for christmas , i couldn't wait to try it out and believe me i was right . This game was seriously addictive , fun , exhilarating , amazing, and just a great game . It has over 160 puzzles and the plot is really unpredictable . So you won't have to worry about getting bored . I brought the game on holidays with me and usually when i'm on holidays i don't even look at my d.s apart from when i'm on the journey but i actually couldn't put my d.s down !! It brings you to the old London and right to the future. You really feel ... more
