Gameplay 10 ; Graphics 9 ; Sound 9 ; Value 10 ; C3 Score : 10. A truly wonderful effort from the team renowned previously for its RPG efforts. Marrying the current craze for brain teasing puzzles with a delightfully mysterious tale that entertains throughout works brilliantly and everything just smacks of pure quality. Certainly worth checking out and hopefully Nintendo Europe will not take too long bringing this instant classic over here as well.
