Professor Layton and Spectre's Call is a great adventure for all owners of the Nintendo DS will not let go. With a good variety of puzzlesProfessor Layton and Spectre's Call is a great adventure for all owners of the Nintendo DS will not let go. With a good variety of puzzles some, thanks to unaa plot very engaging and small news, the series "Professor Layton" This year guarantees quality. Although fans will have a sense of déjà vu rather strongly, because of some of the ideas seen in previous chapters, this latest chapter is a must for any fan of the Professor. The premise of the story, which serve as the prequel trilogy, the chapter ended with last year, Professor Layton and Lure of the spectrum is a particularly recommended for all those who want to know for the first time the protagonists of the series. While waiting for the next chapter for Nintendo 3DS, this chapter can be considered the best in the series, thanks to an ever increasing difficulty and prohibitive!

The Layton formula hasn't really changed since the first game and while you wouldn't want to change a winning formula too much, LaytonThe Layton formula hasn't really changed since the first game and while you wouldn't want to change a winning formula too much, Layton veterans may be getting a sense of De ja vu especially when some of puzzles are repeated from earlier games in the series. However, I'll say what I've said about all the Layton games; if you like puzzles you'll love it and this is technically the best game in the series.… Expand

I really wanted to like this game. I had heard so much positive talk from people whose opinion's usually line up with mine, but unfortunatelyI really wanted to like this game. I had heard so much positive talk from people whose opinion's usually line up with mine, but unfortunately this isn't the case.
I like the animated bits and the voice work is good. The art style in general reminds me of a mix between 80's french cartoons with a side of anime. Looks and sounds great throughout. In fact, that's really the only reason I'm giving this game a 4. Without the care that was put into this game, it would've scored much lower.
The problem with this game is the puzzles, which is very unfortunate for a puzzle game. When I used to visit my grandma's home when I was younger, there was nothing to do. No videogames, nothing on TV, and the parents were all talking about boring stuff. So in order to pass the time, I'd go through a book of 1,001 puzzles. The puzzles in Layton feel like they were ripped right out of one of those books. There's at least 150 different puzzles and none of them are very creative or original. Some of them are downright broken or explained so poorly that the only way you'll solve them is luck or by getting hints (4 hints are offered per puzzle, typically the last hint being the answer).
If you're thinking about getting into the Layton series, make sure you check out the types of puzzles that you'll be faced with. I like puzzles, just not the generic back of a cereal box type of puzzle.… Expand

Awesome game, as expected from Professor Layton. One of the best ways to end the DS era

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am sorry, I genuinely did not liked this one.
Professor Layton games usually have these very sweet stories full of empathy and lovable characters because they're cute in what personality refers to, even the main villain of the original trilogy is cool, you can compare it to Doofensmirthz from Phineas & Ferb, but Last Specter introduced one of the most cliché and boring villains with a cool design, which really is a shame because I was really looking forward to this guy, and to know I'll have to deal with him in 3 more Layton media.. damn, atleast I hope the story is better than this one, because I swear to god, the first three laytons had their own puzzle in the story, and the endings sequences were amazing but this time... The specter plotwist was really cool, I'll give them that, but everything else was really easy to find out and understand before it was revealed, and it lowkey tilted me that they were revealed so late because in the time It took me to reach there, I had a better conclusion on my mind, I even ended the game with a lot of questions which is unusual for a Layton game. It's the first Layton game that didn't made me cry because of how short and cliché the sad scenes were like, even ending the game with le female character giving a kiss to the male kid for "saving her" like come on, that was such a letdown and what made me give it a 4 rather than a 5, which is still very generous, as there are a lot of things bad with this game, like how majority of the puzzles are a downgrade of the other games, being almost all of them math and 3D perception puzzles. Near the end of the game, I was legit using a guide because of how boring those puzzles are.

Now, by far the worst is that the events that succeded in the game not only had cliché moments, but also sexist, dark and even horny which is like... they really weren't really big, but as much as a character almost swearing and a girl making an adult joke, it's like come on writers, why are you getting horny on a **** Layton game...
Emmy is also such a bad character, it goes against all the principles the series tried to conveil, and it's such a shame because as a girl, I really got excited when I saw there was a girl on the main cast but fr, she's so pushy and annoying, games went from "you can solve all with critical thinking" to "yeah, let's just **** them up with violence cuz why not lol" and like... I really wouldn't care if this wasn't a Layton game, but idk. I'm dissapointed, underwhelmed and mad because I expected so much of this series. It genuinely is a pity to see a bad game in a series you love so much.… Expand
