would Professor Layton be fun for a 12 year old to play, or too tough? thinking of getting it for my younger brother

edit: and is this a good price for it?

I picked up professor layton. last time it was $9 it sold out pretty fast.

How does Professor Layton look on the 3DS?

I have never played a Layton game Is it cool I start with this one?

Soul Bubbles is so damn good. Used to be a TRU exclusive.

If you have a device that can play it, you should own it--you will love it.

Layton games do have a specific order to play in terms of "timeline" but you will be fine jumping in any one.

The difficulty, or lack thereof in Soul Bubbles killed it for me. Thought the concept was pretty good though. No idea if it gets challenging later on.

Might have to pickup soul bubbles, alot of you guys seem to be recommending it and I have never heard any of these games

Thanks for the list. Considering a couple of them.

Depends on your 12-year-old's tastes. If he only plays CoD and says Halo is for fgt N00bs, then he still needs to grow up. If he's a smart kid with good grades who likes to be challenged, then he'll love it. My 10-year-old friend says the Layton series is one of his favorite franchises.

But if even if you're not quite sure, getting a DS game for under $10 that has that great of a metascore is definitely a safe bet.

Thanks, he plays Halo... lol. but yes he gets perfect grades and I think he's a pretty smart kid, may give it a shot.

YES, it does get more difficult.

This game is the perfect example of a "DS" game done right. This game could never be done anywhere else and work as well. Both screens are used to perfection, along with the D-Pad.

This is about one of the best DS games you can ever hope to play. Sadly it was a TRU exclusive at release, and was probably only played by a very small amount. A true DS gem, but check out some reviews and video's, as it's not for everyone, but I "Loved" it.

In for Giana Sisters, yay
