LAYTON BROTHERS MYSTERY ROOM for Negative User Reviews

✓ Boring - lots of reading, no fun.Do not be mislead, I thought that this would be a fun and challenging mystery game where you wrack your brain to solve puzzles. In reality, you continuously tap through endless parts of dialogue and bore yourself out of your brain..LookitslindaVersion: 1.0.0

✓ New version won't openThis game is FANTASTIC and I highly recommend it. The only problem is that the newest version has been crashing on me, and now it just won't open at all. If that issue gets fixed, I will be right back up to 5 stars, 6 if it were possible..FlyingPurplePandaVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Really?People who like this clearly haven't played any serious detective game. This point and click linear bonehead game really doesn't come close to original professor Layton..YuriShangVersion: 1.0.0

✓ DecentThe game is pretty good overall. However, I’m not such a big fan of the light racism and stereotypical dialogue in Case No. 4. Please be aware of this if you’re going to purchase the extra cases. I wouldn’t have spent the money if I had known I’d be bombarded with errant punctuation marks and grammar mistakes, just because one of the characters is from somewhere in South America..AammaalliiaaVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Poor translation makes it unplayableGrammar, spelling and clearly written sentences are important for a game like this. Considering how much text the game has, you would think they would hire an English person to assist with the translation. This is NOT the professor Layton series from the Nintendo DS era..KidcameleonVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Crashes upon openingI was really excited to see there had been an update to fix the issue with the music, however I can no longer play the game as it crashes immediately after opening the app. Otherwise this is a really great game so I hope it gets fixed soon :).~~~~~<~~~~~,~<>~~~.~Version: 1.0.1

✓ Not Quite As Expected But Still EnjoyableThis was a tricky app, I wasn't and still am not sure even that if this is the direction that the future Layton games should be heading (hopefully if there are future games). It is still an enjoyable experience with some interesting gameplay techniques... But I have to agree with some of the other reviewers that the speech-bubble communication method can get tedious and boring, however adding voice acting with an update may fix this. I was expecting more of a 'classic Professor Layton' gameplay experience like the previous games on the Nintendo DS systems and to be honest I would have much rather paid a lot more for a ported version of an original game (oh how I loved those cutscenes from the original games). All in all this game was a welcomed addition to the Layton series even if it does not appeal to those disappointed nostalgia seekers. I gave this app 3 out of 5 stars due to its new gameplay experience, continuity of the Layton story but lack of the great features we all enjoyed from the original games..MaddieSumnerVersion: 1.0.0

✓ So boring.This game has WAY too much dialog, and tells you where to click and has no puzzle aspects at all. Even when I’m asked to select a suspect, it immediately tells me “No”, and then proceeds to make me click through a ridiculous dialog exchange. There’s so much hand holding it makes me want to scream. A real puzzle mystery game will open with a crime scene and allow the gamer to search and discover on their own. Don’t waste your time, money, or storage space on this game..TapipankaVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Slow paced, repetitive, and unlikable characterThe girl you play as lacks any confidence or common sense. As soon as the criminal says something back the girl retracts and is flustered and must wait for prof to come to her rescue. This gets old quick. Prof has to be the one to figure anything out even though I’ve found all the evidence, pointed out the killer, and understood the methods. But no! The girl get confused and wait for the prof to help us! 🙄🙄 I enjoy looking at the crime scene, figuring out little tricks and clues. But it ends there, the game forces you to “play”(tapping through repetitive dialogues and clues that you’ve already found!) for another 20minutes before the prof solves case for you..SeriouslyBored0.0Version: 1.0.2

✓ Great but needs to be optimizedI love this game. The characters and story are interesting and I bought all the cases. I would recommend it but I'm disappointed by the lack of music in the current version. Why hasn't there been an update to fixing these issues? Please update this app. I miss the jazzy relaxed atmosphere the music brought to the table. It just isn't the same without those catchy tunes..SolbluesVersion: 1.0.0

✓ More languages!!Is just in English, do you need put the game in more languages..Isabel2319Version: 1.0.2

✓ Great game but...Okay so I was enjoying this game a lot, it has great graphics, humour, good story lines, but then I came to case no. 6. This case is extremely creepy and I don't like that. I understand that this game is about murders but up until this case they haven't been this disturbing. I would really love to continue this game but I get the feeling from now onwards the cases will have something to do with the Puzzle Piece Killings and I don't think I will enjoy more cases like no. 6. Up until then it WAS a great game but I don't think I have enough nerve to continue with the rest of the cases..Sailor Moon3546Version: 1.0.0

✓ Much needed update, but need to fix graphicsThank you SO MUCH to the developers for fixing the music and filling in the blank spaces. That was really bothering me past few years. The only kink I've noticed with this update is that the graphics faltered drastically in quality. The characters are all pixelated. Please fix, it's hard to look at..St4cieYEAHVersion: 1.0.1

✓ First case makes no senseHorrible writing, the deductions make no sense.FrfisherVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Awful awful gameI used to love the DS games but this is nothing but clicking through dialogue and clicking on what you are told to..DcgrfvffVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Just As I Was Getting Into It....This game is awesome and addicting! It really makes you think! But the problem is, just as I was getting into it, after case 2, you have to pay for the rest? Um...creators of the game, are you alright?? Not everyone has a freaking credit card!! The game should be free, all cases should only require megabyte usage! Nothing else!! I'm so disappointed because I am a huge Layton fan!! Thanks a lot guys!!!! 😡.JaydeGem42Version: 1.0.0

✓ CrashesEvery time I open the game it crashes straight away. Please fix.Soccerstar-aliceVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Doesn't even open anymore 😕Since the update that I was hoping would fix the compatibility issues on later iOS's the app now shows me the loading screen and then closes down immediately..JBiz94Version: 1.0.1

✓ Nothing to do with Prof LaytonIf you're expecting similar gameplay to Prof Layton on Nintendo then you're in for a huge disappointment. Deleted after 2 mins..RuledByUranusVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Great gameI like this game except there is too much reading not enough game playing!.~HenryVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Pfft, don’t waste your time!Soooooooooooooooo DUMB!.Whatevernameunder30lettersVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Is this a fake?How can anyone rate this game as good? It appears to be a poor translation with cardboard dialog. This hardens back to the very first PC graphics games. Nothing like the DS games. This is actually an insult to the iOS and especially the iPad..KlnifyVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Took money and never gave filesPurchased the first case file pack a few weeks ago and they took my money but the extra case files never appeared. Contacted the company the day after and still no response. There’s no other way to contact than via their site which obviously isn’t being monitored or they simply don’t care. I want my money back 😡.KhunniobooVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Nothing like Professor LaytonI love the Professor Layton series but this is nothing like it. I only did the free levels and would not pay to do any more if they are like this. I could figure out who the culprit was in the first few minutes but then had to spend ages clicking through screens of dialogue to get to the conclusion. There aren’t any puzzles like in the Professor Layton games. Maybe ok for other people but definitely not something I enjoyed unfortunately..Snow*whiteVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Really?The first update that was made and it broke the game. It shows the loading screen and then it closes.The man who wants it backVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Too easy, too much dialogueWay too easy to guess right from the start who did it. The dialogue is too slow and tedious. Only two free cases to 'solve'. Boring.TimeManagementGamerVersion: 1.0.2

✓ MixedIt’s a good game other than some questionable lines in the later chapters? lucy asks one character with an accent to ‘speaka da english!’.Josh12098Version: 1.0.2

✓ Just click click clickApp opened fine but spent first 5 minutes just clicking to see what the next character said. Gave up and deleted. Ain't nobody got time for that..FS201Version: 1.0.1

✓ Keeps crashingLiterally 2 seconds into the load screen, the app crashes. Fix it, please.Lee.oakVersion: 1.0.1

✓ App doesn't open after patch to fix musicAfter the update, wouldn't even start. Please fix - I'd really enjoyed this when it worked..Yenyen-yVersion: 1.0.1

✓ No longer PlaysIt shuts down on my I Pad Air, with how much is charged for it, I actually want to be able to play it! Can you fix plz.MandyDilligafVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Good game but crashes!I really enjoy this game, and I admit there is a little too much reading! But my problem is that it keeps crashing in the same place every time!! Fix it please!!! I want to keep playing!!! Otherwise I've paid for the second pack of cases for nothing!!!.Ali.chanVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Very linearNot very interesting more like a storybook than a mystery. Lots of boring tapping to get through the story..Simple CyberVersion: 1.0.2

✓ No BGMGame has not been updated and the background soundtrack is missing. Very deceiving as someone who recently bought the full cases. I love the Professor Layton series and a huge part of it is the music in those games! Please fix it!.Claves01753Version: 1.0.0

✓ Mystery RoomGame is ok, but there are too many pages of dialogue. Some times there is one line of dialogue per page. Also I'm not getting any sound effects..NkutxgrlmVersion: 1.0.0

✓ The English is fine!Pros: - Nice graphics - The investigation bits are decently fun and have nice, intuitive controls and adequate descriptions Cons: - It tells you in the beginning who the culprit is - No penalty for incorrect answers - Ridiculously easy: even a toddler could figure out the answers - Cannot question all witnesses. Only one, which the game handpicks for you - Cases are boring and simple and lack any depth. - The "accent writing" gets tiresome. "It were summat else", etc. It's not poor translation like other people are claiming, but it's frustrating. Overall: There are MUCH better detective games out there..SkyeInTheSkyVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Inane.I'm a longtime fan of the Layton series on DS, and this port just didn't do it for me. Kudos to them for mixing it up rather than trying to maintain the high standards, but while I enjoyed the murder-mystery setup, the way they did it put me off. I dislike games that hold my hand. That say "CLICK HERE!, NOW HERE!" with big cartoony bouncing arrows. I would much prefer to be dumped into a crime scene and left to look for clues on my own. THAT'S a puzzle game! Not this. The clues are LITERALLY CIRCLED. Like if Highlights had a crime scene magazine. If you're going to spoon-feed me the information on this text-fest, just go ahead and tell me whodunnit, too. Boring. Deleted..CeventatemVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Could be BetterIt’s a great idea for a game. However, they will only let you do things in a particular sequence, which I found annoying. Still, it was free..Ke5trelVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Crashes after load screenI downloaded the game's update so it can play audio, but when I start the game it crashes after the very first loading screen. The game is still open when you view all of your open apps and has the tap-to-start menu on display, but when you jump back into the game it will still have the load screen and will repeat with the crash. I am playing LBMR on ISO 10.3.2..BronyPalVersion: 1.0.1

✓ BooooringWould rather do homework.Gametester2134Version: 1.0.0

✓ Quaint.To be honest, I think the game is pleasant. It's engaging enough to warrant buying the other cases. The soundtrack is gorgeous, characters and sets a well crafted, and the mysteries are quite varied. However, and I'm not sure how big a gripe this is, but there isn't any attempt to understand motive behind any of the murders. At the end of every case it's just kind of; Oh. Okay then. On with the next case, I guess. It's not major, you just feel kind of hollow at the end of every case. I would say it was enjoyable however, and the very last scene was rather exciting, if only for the thought of, "he couldn't be... Could he?".NizubVersion: 1.0.0

✓ TerribleI'm not one to write reviews but this game is simply awful. Nice graphics but the game play is mindless, poorly executed and non-sensical. I spent the first half of my time just clicking on the screen to read little dialogue bits. The first case I tried made no sense and then when I tried to make the accusation, the character shows up and you have to click on the screen. But I don't know what I am clicking on! Grammar is awful. Clearly a translated app. Thought this was the Layton franchise that I played on DS but it doesn't come close to the level of Professor Layton. Unless you've got time to waste, steer clear..Johnny PinewoodVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Doesn't LoadThe game no longer opens properly, it crashes within seconds of loading it up.NomsujetVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Totally unique, but has its issuesGame is really fun and has a great story. The mystery solving is really unique. The game doesn't go into standby well though and I keep having to restart from my last save. Also sometimes I'm not sure what the game is asking of me and need to guess all the possibilities..JonomnomVersion: 1.0.1

✓ A good game until you are asked to payMystery room is an amazing game but you only get 2 cases for free. The other cases have to be purchased. And to be honest I am really disappointed. It is an amazing game with a good story and idea overall but I have to rate this 3 stars because of the payment to enjoy this game..Sam PicklezburgVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Too slow to startGave up on this....just tons and tons of ‘chat’ text between characters at start, no game play, couldn’t be bothered with it. Didn’t even get to a gaming level..BINAIOWVersion: 1.0.2

✓ CrashesEnjoyed this game very much, however it keeps crashing so much that I can't even play the last case. Would be appreciated if this could get fixed..LkdilsbiVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Great game but music is brokenI love this game but it's not the same without the music.Scoots6Version: 1.0.0

✓ Not Quite....Felt more like an interactive book as opposed to an investigative click n point adventure game. If your looking for something like Phoenix wright this isn't it. Game has potential though..LetshavealookVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Nothing like the DS games and very boring.I was bitterly disappointed by this game. As an avid fan of the DS games, I was hoping for more of the same, but all I got instead was a heavily guided game in which you do nothing but click on items that are quite obvious on the screen. There is no real need to "find" as everything is highlighted. There is no puzzle and no incentive to continue. I haven't paid for any of the additional cases as I thought the price to be extremely steep for a game which doesn't require any real brain power to master. I am surprised that the rating for this game is 12+ and assume this is merely due to the subject matter as the game itself could easily be completed by a 3 year old randomly stabbing at the screen, for the most part..LamwalkerVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Not so goodDissapointing. If you like Layton for DS, this is NOTHING like it. That aside, it wasn't very good as a standalone game either. Too boring, the game holds you by the hand as you slog through about a million text boxes over and over. You make almost no deductions yourself, and when you do it doesn't matter if you're right or wrong, the game will pull you along anyway. The logic is ridiculous also. I chose the right suspect at first because he contradicted himself in his statements, but that is never mentioned. It turns out it was some nonsensical garbage why I should have known it was him. Wish it could have been better but I wouldn't pay for more of this as it is..AhokwhateverVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Cute, but way too easy/linearWouldn’t particularly recommend for experienced or hardcore mystery genre enthusiasts. Holds your hand through all of the cases, and none of them are that tricky to begin with outside of the game simply withholding information. In all of the cases except for the very end of the last one, they circle all of the clues for you to find, you don’t have to work at all. No consequences for being wrong at any point. Alfendi usually hands you the answer a couple of minutes in, regardless of the choices you make. But, super cute artwork and character design in the typical Layton series fashion. Characters are a bit one-dimensional. And a sweet concluding scene..TomasWasHereVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Help....Can’t seem to play any gamesI love professor Layton since DS so downloaded this app however I can’t seem to play any games. It keeps restarting and won’t let me open the case file? Can you help please 🙏🏽.Bee 4444Version: 1.0.2

✓ :/I thought there'd be more puzzles but its just endless taping and taping and it's not hard cos you just randomly guess and if your wrong u just guess again so it's dumb and boring.Amberleigh07Version: 1.0.0

✓ BoringLooks good from the pictures in the App Store but it is really boring!!!!!!.DextroustankVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Boring....This game is extremely boring. Constant conversation and not much else.....deleted!.Slimshady6666666Version: 1.0.2

✓ Professor Layton meets Phoenix wrightThe only reason I'm continuing to play this is because I loved Phoenix wright so much and this is an almost complete rip off, which is fine for me as i loved playing phoenix games but to put the layton name to it is nothing short of a ruse to encourage downloads. this game couldn't be any further than the original prof games. Absolutely no puzzles, which you'll agree is the main reason for playing layton games, silly story lines and lame characters with no real development or attraction. If they're going to give us an iOS Layton then this was an awful way to start. My second star is purely for the seamless gameplay and the typically brilliant cartoony designs which we've to love from Layton games. I hope the next one focuses on giving us what we loved in the first place. And if not, just put a Phoenix wright logo on it instead.SpaceYourFaceVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Keeps crashingI play the game and every time it crashes! Please fix this because its a fun game but the crashing is ruining it.Minz2001Version: 1.0.0

✓ A great game... When it worksSince the update, the game doesn't work at all. The loading screen opens for a couple of seconds before the game crashes and you're returned to the home screen of your device again..CHW252Version: 1.0.1

✓ DeleteCan’t get through the first case absolute waste of time giving it any kind of rating was a mistake!.Mrs d1977Version: 1.0.2

✓ PLEASE FIX IT!This used to be one of my favorite game ever but I can't even open the app! Please fix it!.Doune😋Version: 1.0.1

✓ Very unintelligentI'm assuming people who want to play this type of game are looking for intellectually challenging & enlightening games. This is, however, very stupid and unintelligent. It looks like anime. So much unnecessary and boring dialogue. The whole "attack theme" is really low. I spend most of my time clicking so that the dialogue can end..CattyhVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Doesn't open anymore :-(This game was/is a great game. It's just a shame it's been made unplayable since the update which I'm gutted about because I just paid money to open up all the cases. FIX PLEASE!!.Poqwie123Version: 1.0.1
