Professor Layton's second puzzling adventure due out in August

At least for Americans. Europeans may have to remain curious importers

Professor Layton's second puzzling adventure due out in August

He's topping the UK DS charts with a game that's been out for 12 months, but it looks like Professor Layton is gearing up for his second puzzling adventure - Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box - which Amazon predicts will be released in North America on 24th August.

Typically Amazon UK doesn't have the product listed so it looks like Europe may have to wait a little longer for its taste.

The game, which was released as Professor Layton and the Demon's Box in Japan in November 2007, sees the Professor and apprentice Luke solving the mystery behind a strange box that is said to kill anyone who opens it. Indeed, the game starts with Professor Layton's mentor found dead in mysterious circumstances.

This prompts our intrepid duo to board a cross country express train - the Molentary Express - to try and solve his death, as well as delving into the histories of the many enigmatic characters they meet along the way, of course.
