So in the actual games Description I wanted to keep me very briefly, because it is all so well known. One gets tricky riddles served, you must solve in order to advance the very charming staged story. The presentation is terrific in this game series, which is why this puzzle game is so popular. The puzzles are varied and use the touchscreen controls. Improvement now is that you can put a rag on the riddle in each puzzle to write down his thoughts. Very commendable. Since the developers have thought along.
But I would like to turn to with this review actually another point. I have often read that the second part would not live up to its predecessor because the German dubbing not like. So first I must say that I generally can not understand this attitude. We pay good money in Germany for our games. When I look at my video of the famous DS-collectors from America, often to call the prices for which they have bought the title, I get really sometimes the crisis, as I pay a lot more in D. As you can expect a Eindeutschung but I mean. If all have this attitude (by the way is me also noticed at the reviews of Chrono Trigger), the game industry in the future will probably use no effort on einzudeutschen the Games.
Therefore, so is my point: Eindeutschung the Games is first something good. For movies, the majority also does not say that they prefer the film looks in English instead of German.
So now we go into more detail:
First notice that the 2nd Layton has much more cutscenes. If the quality of these animated films one calls to mind that is at least at the previous level, this comes out as a conclusion: More here is even better. Because logically, the animated cutscenes, as in the first part also, are equipped with voice output and now some in-game dialogs are set to music, it follows that the spoken much more frequently one hears as the first part yet. And this time, everything was set to music in German.
Personally, I've been playing very long video and computer games. So I can say I have some language issues in my life heard starting with Red Alert 2, Broken Sword and Co on PC, over RE4 and God of War on the Playsi 2, dozens set to music games on the 360 and now the first to my language editions of DS games. And I personally can only say who complained about this speech, which really seeks formally to criticism. The voice actors are so similar that one grade at Layton almost thinks that the speaker dominates both languages perfectly the original English speakers of the first part.
Clear lack of good British accent. One can in German just not so great Britain install an English accent. Nevertheless, the actors make their job very well. I'd like to mention a counterexample: In the solo campaign of Halo 3 but actually affects the tone of Pro7 as voice actors with. Hello? Now that's really bad when the Master Chief Elton asks if he ausm the crash All has survived. These are moments when we do not know whether to laugh or cry.
This speech is high well done. Clear ultimately decides one's own taste, what one likes, but that's another matter.
I personally feel that the step in the right direction was definitely. I already know what my little brother will make for eyes when I preludes him the animated cutscenes through the cinema version and this time he also understands what is being said (he's only 4).
To answer my question from the title:
Both games are already classics and absolute must-haves in a DS-collection. But even if, of course, the first in a series of games always occupies a place of honor, the successor is Just a little rounder. Little things in the game mechanics have been improved and the production has greatly increased in quality. However ide differences are so small that I rate both games with 5 stars.
in this sense. An absolutely amazing game. I look forward to feedback but even more I look forward to the Parts 3-6 and the film :).
