Trivia
The European and Korean versions of the game uses the US dub for all of its languages (all further localized Layton games starting from the second one have a different dub for Korean language and each European language), with a single difference: all the lines said by Luke have been re-recorded by a native British voice actress. The British accent imitation done by the American actress was reportedly borderline offending for the UK play testers. This change was carried in all the Layton UK versions.

Quotes
[while Luke and the Professor are investigating the park, the Ferris wheel comes loose, and starts rolling after them]
Luke: Professor! I think it's chasing after us!
Professor Layton (English Version): That's preposterous!

Crazy credits
The credits are accompanied by a series of drawings depicting the characters in situations which occur both during and after the game.

Nice plot. Nice story and pretty good riddles

I enjoyed this video game so much. The story keep us engaged and we want to know the end of the story. So just for that, we have an other motivation to resolve the riddles and know the truth about the village. The characters are pretty well made and are interesting. The dialogues too and make the interactions pleasant and make us want to discover the game deeply. The Riddles are pretty well made and some of them will need to think more. Very different video game and its a pleasure to see that.
