Do you like professor Layton, Kaito Kid and music? Then this game is for you

The story, which is set in Paris, follows the life of Raphael, an infamous thief known among Parisians for stealing famous works of art only to return them days later. A few years ago, his father disappeared, leaving behind only a coin containing a mysterious symbol. Discovering that a bracelet on display at The Louvre bears the same symbol, Raphael goes to investigate the mystery behind this symbol, soon encountering a girl named Marie and a mysterious foe claiming to be Napoleon.

It features many types of gameplay like rhythm, infiltration, puzzles, mini games and combat. The cutscene are wonderfully done and the story bears some similarities to MK. It's a great game  though available in Europe and not in the US.
It received quite a number of good reviews too, see here for example: http://uk.ds.ign.com/articles/122/1222257p1.html

I loved it so I recommend this game for all of you who own a 3DS

it's unfortunate that this game is gonna be overshadowed by the automatically better Rhythm Heaven Fever on Wii and the automatically more popular Theatrhythm FF game.

I add that it will be released in July for the US

Oh maybe it will be ok, since it will probably have little to no competition.

Sweet! It's going to be localized? I like the art design of the game.

I don't own a 3DS yet but I'm planning to buy one soon. Another 3DS game to look forward to. I just hope I could find it in our local store. :\

I've seen this. I want it. I am going to celebrate my first paycheck by buying it.

So I finished the game. It was fun but quite short. Oh and it ends in a cliffhanger by the way, so it's likely there will be  a sequel

Here are other trailers for those who haven't played it yet:

They only released it just now? Europe's had it for ages... Usually it's the other way around because of localization issues.
