"Tokyo Game Show 2009"I was in a lucky bag that I got at"Professor Layton and the devil's whistle"Nino"Inazuma Eleven 2 Threat Invaders Fire / BlizzardI tried to make a note of the impression of trying each trial version of "below.

This time is the fourth piece of the Layton series "Professor Layton and the whistle of the devil". Although I was worried whether I could advance ahead with the first play of the Layton series, it was a gentle content for beginners with an exquisite difficulty balance.

◯: Good point

· Good game balance

It has a well-balanced problem to be presented, and it has become a degree of difficulty to enjoy young and old. When you do not understand at all, you can get hints with the item "inspirational coin", so it seems that few things will not advance at all. Also, as it becomes a hint to hit the core at a moment, it is also favorable that almost no answer comes out with one hint. Since it is possible to postpone other than essential problems, if you can not solve by any means, you can go ahead and move on. There is a possibility that people who are good at solving this puzzling game may feel unsatisfactory, but if you go ahead, there may be problems for advanced users.

· Variety of problems is enriched

There are many puzzles to be solved like puzzle games that use touch panels effectively without being restricted by sorting and selection problems.

Not only puzzle solving, there are also strong problems of puzzle elements.


If you touch various parts of the screen, you may get an "inspiration coin", or problems may be entered inside.


△: Points of concern

· There are few hints.

Although the number of times to see hints depends on the number of inspirational coins, it is relatively easy to find an inspiration coin, which reduces the hint's appreciation. If it is troublesome to think a little, it seems likely that you will soon see the hint, so it will likely be a game to make sure that you will not lose the temptation in the end.

· People who play series in the past may not feel fresh

Although it was a first experience in Layton, I enjoyed it even in the trial version, but as it is a stance to continue solving puzzles through the series, there is a possibility that novelty can not be felt even if the character is renewed.

As an overall impression, I got the impression that "There is only a series and it is a good way to balance it".
