And the game too.
But that doesnt mean you shouldnt trust this review.
It really does give a shot to live up to its predecessor, though and almost succeeds too.
The storyline is similar, very similar, in fact.
Murder, mystery and a famous, legendary artefact shape the tale.
Layton decides to investigate the murder/curse and takes his old, unconvincing cockney sidekick with him.
The structure of the game is pretty unaltered from the original too, but is still very enjoyable.
The ideas behind the games are good, but the executions lousy.
Theres no needless gore or elves in skimpy armour just tea, history and riddles.
If you like all these things, youll love this game.
The answer really is that simple.
