Professor Layton

I recently just finished the most recent installment of the Professor Layton game series: Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask. Some people who know me in real life would know how much I love the Professor Layton series, and the most recent game was not a disappointment at all. I don't think I've ever been disappointed with any Professor Layton game.. At times it can be predictable (because obviously it's a children's game and there will always be a happy ending - well most of the time anyways) but I think that's one of the factors which make it so.... likable.

Basically the series is a bunch of puzzle games (over 100+ puzzles in each game) and there's a main plot with Professor Layton being the protagonist. The games are made for the DS/3DS and are so so amazing hehe. The one I'd recommend would be Professor Layton and the Unwound Future/Professor Layton and the Lost Future. The plot is so amazing it made me cry.

Anyways, I think what draws me the most toward the Professor Layton games is how it is such a positive game. What I mean by that is; how morals and scruples are represented through the game, and how having a strong moral structure is a good thing to go by. Professor Layton takes pride in being a gentleman and teaches the importance of being a gentleman to his apprentice, Luke Triton. Despite the predictability of the plot, you just come to love it anyways. Sort of like the classic Disney movies. We all know what's going to happen, but we tend to rewatch it over and over again anyways.

I'm kind of sad I finished the game; it's a similar feeling you get when you finish a good booking. You have that sense of attachment to it. I missed out on playing the game previous to the Miracle Mask, so I might try to get my hands on that. Hehe.
