You're probably reading this and thinking What?! How could this game possibly live up to the two previous games which are nothing short of being masterpieces. Just hear me out. Set in the town of St. Mystere, Professor Layton, a puzzle solver, and his apprentice Luke Triton have set out to discover the truth behind the mysterious "Golden Apple". While this game may not be as renowned, what makes this game so wonderful is how well it suits the Nintendo DS in particular the use of the touch screen such as a memo and a way of guiding the characters throughout the town. Not only that but it blends the use of a varying difficulty of puzzles and a compelling story perfectly that will leave you guessing until the end. It is for these reasons that this game has what it takes to be the definitive Nintendo game.
