Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box (video game)

Customer Review

Advance let me say that I certainly do not belong to the Group of people who will find everything without exception in English better.
But the translation of this game in my opinion was an impertinence.

The dubbing voices have really made aggressive - so so bad they are (have played the first part, however, in English - because my expectations were perhaps too high). That my vote would not have fallen really only a minor complaint. That this was a massive criticism, is due to the puzzles.
I'm almost desperate at some puzzles and was really angry, but when I got out the solution. Reason, but it was not my inability, but the poor or even bad (!) Überstzung of these puzzles. It so happens that there is more than one correct solution to a mystery (for German translation), in the original but only one correct answer. In another mystery in the mystery of text is "several people" spoken, but "most of the people" meant. Furthermore, the translators were then also so nice, sometimes one or the other "false friend" wrong to translate ...

Then even this Hamster came into play who speaks berlinerisch ... The stake has been really the coup de grace for my vote. Have the people who have dealt with the German Synchro actually asked "Okay, how do like the atmosphere in the game is best destroy ?!" when they had dealt with the language issue? So it seems to me that is. Professor Layton, the English gentleman and his verschissener, berlinerisch laber hamsters - great mix!

I am also the messages have a la "Professor Layton and Luke decide ..." extremely annoyed. There were moments in the game where only one or two puzzles / dialogues were already arrived and the next message. Here, the were no reports that could quickly click away, but these were accompanied by the "Memory Music", seconds were wegklickbar only after 3 or 4 and therefore unterbtrachen all game flow. Really brought further have the messages do not really - just superfluous.
This opens up to me still not know why one has the so "solved". I just do not remember if there was already in the first part so, but if so, they have not made it in the second part a hundred times annoying.

But that was actually what there was to complain about from my side (is nevertheless already a lot - unfortunately).
Positive I noticed the "Camera Game", where you only assemble from parts the camera and then shoot now and then photos and therefore could unlock mystery. And I had very much fun with the tea recipes. Although I found it very annoying there again, that the people were not always "receptive" for the tea and you had to spend several minutes with some mindless running around, so they wanted to drink tea again. The gentlemen in the Watchtower way, I have even after several hours of play after the playthrough can not make that he Bock has returned to a tea ...

The puzzles are - up to this miserable mistranslations - remained the same in principle as in the first part. Therefore, hardly worth mentioning. The story is okay, but not outstanding.

Overall, my game has clearly preparing less fun than its predecessor and I have only played through, that I may know the end of the story (although had formed my theory, but turned out to be false).

The third part I will get me there again in English language versions.
