I'm comparing these two games because I started AW after I finished Professor Layton.
Even though Prof Layton was just a bunch of puzzles, it was fun to randomly pick up and run through a handful of puzzles. AW though is really testing my patience. Maybe I'm not very good at this type of game, but it might just be a little too slow paced for me. AW is all turn-based strategy, so you have all the time in the world to think about your next move. What that also means is that if you lose, you have to go through all the slow stuff again to get back to where you were. And that includes dialogue.
I just have to talk about the dialogue in AW. It's terrible! Phrases similar to "wicked sick" make constant appearances and it pains me to even see it on the screen for that split second. The dialogue of Professor Layton was charming and full of, well, Britishness. AW could definitely use some Britishness; a little touch of charm for the dialogue.
AW is still a good game though, but for my morning commuting, Professor Layton was a much better fit.
