Napoleon wasn't Napoleon, he was a random bloke who announced his name with great flair but I had no idea who he was or what that meant.
Navigating the gardens, there was a particularly difficult battle where control shifted between Phantom R, Charlie and Inspector Vergier and I couldn't work out the timing for Charlie's sections at all. I managed to get past it in the end - with a B rank - by just making no mistakes on the Vergier and Phantom R parts.
And then to Napoleon, with a particularly cringeworthy line.
I wish there was a better way of taking photos or screenshots on the 3DS. You have to tilt it to avoid glare and reflection, but then you have to try and correct the skew ...
After a final battle, Napoleon jumped off the side of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon (which were in the air over Paris, do keep up) and I had to flee with Marie. Lots of questions remain unanswered - where is Raphael's dad? How did the Duchess survive being shot at point-blank range? Will Phantom R ever be arrested?
He really ought to be, even if it's just for chat-up lines like this.
I enjoyed this game. It didn't feel as padded as a Layton game, which is good as I'm not sure the rhythm games would have carried it that much further. Some of the side games were pretty tough, including the Rub Rabbits theme performed Samba de Amigo style. I may go back one day to pick up any last bits I've missed (a few of the music scraps, for example), but for now, I'm done.
