While Professor Layton is out dilly-dallying with golden apples, curious villages and diabolical boxes, some of us are trying to solve real crimes here. Ok, they may not be real crimes, but it’s just how we like them. Fake and on two screens.
From the screenshots SouthPeak sent our way it looks like Crime Scene DS’ game play will be a mix between a point and click adventure and Atlus’ Trauma Center. If Crime Scene DS guides you through the whole game step by step it might prove to be too easy, but if it lets you loose in the virtual world without much instruction in runs the risk of being too difficult. Crime Scene DS will be walking a fine line, but if it manages to balance itself in both those aspects, it could very well be the Trauma Center of crime.
Hit the jump for some screens and a target launch date!

MIDLOTHIAN, VA – August 27, 2009 - Leading videogame publisher, SouthPeak Games, announced today a new Nintendo DS™ title, Crime Scene™, scheduled for release this holiday season.
