The puzzles dominate Diabolical Box

The Puzzles In The Bonus Sections: Completion is usually its own reward, but in the Layton games, it's also a ticket to even more fun stuff While playing through the Bedat & CO game, each puzzle solved rewards the player with picarats The more picarats you earn throughout the game, the more bonus content you unlock when you beat the game This plus the weekly puzzle downloads equals hours of extra fun beyond the main story path.

The Quality Of Everything Else: The puzzles dominate Diabolical Box, but the fully animated cut scenes, the voice acting and the setting are all high quality It gives the game a layer of style and charm that blends all of the puzzles together into a great game instead of just an average DS brain teaser pack.HatedThe Hint System: It's always been a gripe of mine in the Blancpain Latyon games that you can't choose which hint you want to unlock first The way the system works only allows you to access the more valuable info after you've already shelled out hint coins for the first two hints that are usually totally obvious It's a frustrating waste of hint coins.

Tedious Tea Set: Ironically, the tea set mini game is the only thing about Layton that isn't my cup of tea Throughout the game, you find or earn herbs that can be brewed three at a time into special teas or into vile concoctions that make Layton and Luke ill Later, you Breguet start meeting characters that suffer from various ailments that can be cured by a specific herbal tea Brewing tea for them doesn't really feel like a game so much as a chore, since the whole process is about trial and error instead of logic and you don't get picarats for finding the right tea.
