Iphone game: Layton brothers Mystery room


I'm not a big fan of IPhone games; I check the top ones from time to time.
Or sometimes some friends recommend me some; I always give it a try if there’s a demo or if the game looks appealing to me. The thing is yes I love games but I don’t like holding my IPhone in my hands all the time, I need a big screen and a controller, maybe because I was raised with consoles…

Ranting apart, I got the game ‘Layton brothers Mystery room’ from Level-5, yes I was already sold as I’m a Level-5 fan girl… This game is cute and I like the genre, it’s like Professor Layton meets Phoenix Wright!
I love the art and I love mystery and crime scene stuff (I do watch CSI, Flashpoint, Lie to me and many others) So yeah, yay for crime scenes! (Fictional ones mind you!).

The game looks pretty and is actually fun, the first few cases are easy (of course they are free so you don’t want to upset the player with crazy cases you can’t solve at the start or they won’t buy the additional ones). What also got me are the two main characters: Lucy and Alfendi.  I was surprised they picked a girl as the main character because it’s all boys in Layton series and well Phoenix Wright is mostly all about Phoenix and Edgeworth… Lucy is smart and self-confident and Alfendi is also smart but mysterious and sometimes during investigations he goes coo-coo…. And that only makes me want to know what the heck is wrong with Mr.Splitpersonalities! A tad later in the 3rd or 4th case you learn that he goes nuts due to some case he worked on in the past, I didn’t find out what yet… So I have to keep playing!


So yes, I’ll keep playing this one on my IPhone and then I still need to finish FFXIII…
