Game review - Ace Attorney Investigations
Ace Attorney Investigations
The Ace Attorney games were the main reason I bought Nintendo DS, and I've never regret it. I love the gameplay, the absurd stories, the wacky characters, the charming graphics - you name it! Ace Attorney Investigations is the fifth title in the series. The first three features the defense attorney Phoenix Wright, the fourth features Apollo Justice who also is a defence attorney, and the latest installment is centered on Phoenix's friend and rival Prosecuter Miles Edgeworth.
The new game introduces some new features, like Logic, and the fact that the characters can stroll about and inspect stuff. Logic basically enables you to put clues together and find the answer.
Positive:
The story is interesting, and it's fun that they're bring back alot of familiar faces from the previous games. Edgeworth is the same as always; very cool and collected most of the time, and Gumshoe, the somewhat useless assistant (according to Edgeworth), follows him around. Or, he tries to, but a mysterious girl called Kay shows up and tries to steal his position after a while. She calls herself Yatagarashu, the legendary thief.
Negative:
My only main beef with the game is that it's a bit too easy; the characters often helps you way too much. Like pointing out exactly where in the statement you shall contradict, and sometimes they strongly suggest what item you should present at the time too. It's a bit annoying sometimes.
Spoiler:
Edgeworth has a knack of getting into trouble in seems; and I thought Maya was unlucky! Being accused of murder in Phoenix Wright 1, fainting during an earthquake in Phoenix Wright 3, and fainting, being kidnaped, threathened, and almost shot in the latest game XD
Lots of costumes in Investigations; there's badgers and samurais everywhere! And there's nearly always wacky and familiar faces under the outfits XD
I hope there'll be more Ace Attorney games, be it Phoenix, Apollo, Edgeworth, or another familiar face in the lead ^^ Maybe Ema will be next, who knows. Much time!
