9.0 Sound
8.5 Gameplay
Easy to get into point-and-click adventure with an excellent story and a great amount of variety.
7.5 Lasting Appeal
Lots of puzzles, but not much replay value even though you can play them after they're unlocked. Once you know the solution, that's it.
In the Q&A session at GDC, someone asked this directly, and Hino's answer was that he wants all six Layton games to eventually come out in the U.S. and Europe. As to when this would happen, he said that they are currently working on the localized version of Diabolical Box, and that he hopes it will be out in six months.
I added to the summary. The game will be on a cartridge twice the size of the original, for improved animation & story sequences. All new puzzles for the storyline.
