... you're a bad person...
Honestly I think at some point reviews for the layton games will become redundant. They are all pretty much the same game wrapped in a different story, and honestly. That's something I'm completely ok with. Bought this day 1 and am enjoying the fuck out of it.

Oh, Jahanzeb - you must. I'm serious, you must. If you don't, you will explode into flames on your 28th birthday.

It's just...puzzles are my biggest turn off! I have tried to buy these games but when I think "puzzles" I go..."bleh..."...and pick something like Mega Man or Castlevania 
I will most likely play Pheonix Wright first..that's a little different from puzzle mini games I think...

Pheonix wright is more of an adventure game then a puzzle game. But I actually find it more frustrating then the layton games (Much more getting lost with no idea were to go next)

Agreed.
It's OK when you know what you're doing, but some of the bits in court and a lot of the bits in the adventure mode are just plain frustration, checking everything until you randomly stumble across the right area/item.
Think Yahtzee's description of why adventure games died.
EDIT: Strangely, though, I really want to try Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright.

Review is spot-on. Pretty much exactly mirrors my thoughts.

What about Henry Hatsworth? That might qualify you for gentleman status.
As for this game, I am still shattered over the loss of my DS as this was really all I was looking forward to.
Come on 3DS, launch already!

FWIW, you can grab Lites real cheap now - like $70 off of the Game Exchange.

Yep, definitely go for the Phoenix games. I'm not big on puzzle games either, but I love those games.  I've played the first Professor Layton game, but found it more frustrating than fun so I dropped it.
