There was even a Doctor Who video game which did this.Unfortunately, all of these games (apart from Layton Brothers, probably due to it having the Layton name to lean on) are a case of No Export for You. Also, Level-5 with their own Atamania series, comprised of 6 puzzle games, with the seventh retooled into the iOS Layton Brothers spin-off after they bombed in Japan. If you want some carbon-copy versions of Layton, check Namco's Treasure Report, or Konami's Zack & Ombra, both of them for the DS appearing after Specter's Flute came out, having the same interface, same cutscenes, same "Correct!" animation, same puzzle structure.Lautrec is, shall we say, NOT a gentleman. In the US it even came out within a few months after Professor Layton and the Last Specter, and a few fans have joked, "Oh, that's why Layton is getting a lawyer." It's not a complete knockoff, however, as gameplay isn't exactly the same and Dr. Konami's Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights a puzzler with with a similar art design and a dapper French guy in a top hat.Don Paolo is often referred to as 'DP'.
