Is Professor Layton's second adventure the worthy sequel fans are hoping for?

After the success of the first Professor Layton release on the DS, it should come as no surprise that we'd get a sequel. The game's unique blend of mystery storytelling and brain-teasing puzzles somehow forms one of the most unique and engrossing gaming..

I've managed to get some exclusive dialogue extracts!

I say Luke, this bookcase reminds me of a rather devilish puzzle I once heard!

Japan gets almost the 4th game, and we finally the 2nd. Wow, we have to be confident.

I'm curious to see who the character in the background is.

Just finished the first one. I am looking forward to the next and hope that the other two are released locally.

Loved the first game. I'll wait until the price on this goes down before I get it, though. I blew through Curious Village way too quickly to fully justify £30, no matter how awesome it all is.
Will the reviewer be sharing the code that comes with this game, to give us extra puzzles in Curious Village? ^^
