Haven't played this one yet, just the first Professor Layton game, but it sounds like it's more or less of the same gameplay.
Ahh, yeah, the sliding tile puzzles. X_x Was I ever thankful that they don't penalize you on numbers of moves, like they do for some of the other types of puzzles. Sometimes, they suggest a maximum number of moves to do it, but I figure, if I can get the damn ball to the exit point, then I'm good. XD
I don't remember the "choose the contradictory part of the picture" puzzles being in the Curious Village, so maybe it's a new addition to Diabolical Box... but I DID have a lot of problems with those types of puzzles in the Ace Attorney games for the same reason you did: poor graphic resolution.
And yeah, I agree, most of the puzzles are pretty time-honored and fairly easy (though I found myself using hint coins here and there... and then restarting the DS afterwards >.> ), and picross and sudoku puzzles would be pretty awesome. :D I was also thinking that a "cross sums" type of puzzle would be great for this series, though probably nothing too complex such that it wouldn't fit on the screen. ;)
