"While these lackluster mini-games are no hidden-object puzzle or "make your own tea" chemistry set (as seen in Laytons 1 and 2), Unwound Future still has a solid set of puzzles for its main adventure, and the story itself is very engaging." ... Read full review

"As a standalone adventure, The Lost Future can't help but disappoint once its bite-sized, unimaginative nature begins to show through. [Issue#102, p.120]"

Features like moving around, inspecting all areas with your stylus and puzzles make this a very immersive experience.… Expand

Simply the best Professor Layton game so far...i really enjoyed other Layton games,but i must say this has something more:soundtrack("timeSimply the best Professor Layton game so far...i really enjoyed other Layton games,but i must say this has something more:soundtrack("time travel" is one of my favourite music piece),characters,and the ending.Really,i won't spoil it,because i think this is a game everybody needs to play,but the ending...It is very special,i would say unique...
Audio and the Video are really good,and the puzzles are very well realized.
Unfortunately,the difficulty for each puzzle is often under or overestimated.You'll probably find a puzzle that isn't worth much,but is very difficult and vice versa...
Overall,a great game and,i think,a masterpiece all collectors should have!
I bought this game as a present for my sister:she loved it and she finished it in 3 days!!!… Expand

Definitely the strongest of the three Layton games released in the US so far, Unwound Future successfully blends casual puzzle solving alongDefinitely the strongest of the three Layton games released in the US so far, Unwound Future successfully blends casual puzzle solving along with a compelling storyline. The formula hasn't changed an awful lot since the first title, though many subtle improvements to game mechanics and general presentation have been made. Cut scenes and audio files are clearer than ever, with added improvements to the second titles 'memo' function (such as the ability to change ink colour) being of great aid during those more trickier of brain teasers. The pace of the game may be a little too slow for some, though it's not difficult to become captivated by Layton's gorgeous looking surroundings and intrigued by some of the more perplexing mysteries that pop up during the final half of the adventure. Voice acting, be it fitting, can seem incredibly cheesy and at some points fails to aid the experience as it irritates more than captivates.

Hint Coins have almost tripled in numbers since the first title, with the new optional 'Super Hint' function allowing far more users to solve even the most complicated of math puzzles without feeling like you've cheated.

If you enjoyed the first two Layton outings- I cannot recommended this third game enough, as it's certainly the best of the three. Puzzles remain fun and do not detract from the experience as much as they did with Curious Village, with most being optional if players wish to favour the narrative and push on with it instead.… Expand
