While the Diabolical Box (aka Pandora's Box) has its own main story, it's part of a trilogy with recurring characters and a sub-plot running through all three games ... so players would get more out of the sequel after having already played the Curious Village



For example, one of the early cut scenes in the Diabolical Box wouldn't have the same impact without knowing the back story, possibly wouldn't make as much sense and (if you're paying attention) spoils one of the significant Curious Village plot twists



Saying that, the Diabolical Box can be played without problem if you really didn't want to start with the Curious Village



Both games are very similar in graphic style, gameplay and the types of puzzles



Which game is better, harder or has the best story is simply personal opinion with different players having different views (which may, of course, be different to your own opinion)



Really though, unless you intend buying just one of the games, the Curious Village is the better one to start with and also offers the cheaper entry point



Whether someone would enjoy the series (84% of players think it's awesome, although it's not everyone's cup of tea as Layton might say) largely depends on whether they would enjoy solving the types of puzzles the game offers



You may find it useful to glance over the illustrated walkthroughs so you can see for yourself what to expect from the game (types of puzzles, graphics, general gameplay, etc)

Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, and Professor Layton and the Curious Village are both amazing. I can recommend either one. Check the boxes out at the store and see which you think he'd like better.What is the best Professor Layton game on the DS?
I think the curious village is a little bit better, because the diabolical box have many of the same puzzle with different difficulty levels. While the curious village have many variety of puzzles. but, from the story I think diabolical box is better
