Professor Layton and the Unwound Future
SCORE: 72
Professor Layton and the Unwound Future can be among the most challenging games to play under the Nintendo publishing banner. Do not expect to walk all over this Nintendo DS game. It will walk all over you. There are over 165 puzzles in Professor Layton and the Unwound Future. There are puzzle coins hidden all over the screens. Use them when you are stuck on a puzzle - which will be most of the time.
The flow of Professor Layton and the Unwound Future is all messed up. The story trudges along at a snails pace. There is little reward for finally figuring out how to beat that puzzle. And having to spend five hint coins on it just makes it painful. Most gamers will find a guide or walkthrough to learn how to solve the puzzles. Which actually defeats the purpose of this game in the first place. What was Level-5 thinking with most of these puzzles? Rarely do they make sense. Most of the time the game is trying to trick you in some way.
The presentation of Professor Layton and the Unwound Future is amazing. I love how it moves from anime movie, to conversations, down to where we move around on screens. Professor Layton and the Unwound Future slowly unveils the different features as the player progresses. The time traveling storyline is fascinating, and can captivate the gamer.
The style of art in Professor Layton and the Unwound Future does not impress me. It just feels too plain. There are also major limitations on where we can explore. The music and the voice acting are exceptionally well done. I love listening to the voices in Professor Layton and the Unwound Future. Its almost as good as listening to our Editor in Chief read from the Holy Bible.
If you want a
game that will confuse, confound, irritate, frustrate, and annoy you
then check out Professor Layton and the Unwound Future. If you are up
for a challenging game where the hints are not always helpful then again
look at Professor Layton and the Unwound Future. This DS game will test
your resolve. I expect many will just give up on it.
