   I was hesitant to give this game such a high score, and hell it probably doesn't even deserve it, but I simply cannot stress this enough -I was hesitant to give this game such a high score, and hell it probably doesn't even deserve it, but I simply cannot stress this enough - this is THE best game in the entire ace attorney series, hands down. The best set of characters (Edgeworth!), arguably the best music, much more interactive than the others (actual point and click gameplay, Logic, etc.) and on top of that, funny and witty as hell (not going to give examples to keep this spoiler-free). Cons? Well, the last case drags like hell, but that's about it. Must buy for any DS owner.… Expand

   I know when you see a ten you think I'm crazy. And you probably aren't too far off. But when I play all the ace attorney games, I know when you see a ten you think I'm crazy. And you probably aren't too far off. But when I play all the ace attorney games, including this one, I just get such an emotional experience overall. It really is almost all about the characters, but what gets overlooked all the time is how much the MUSIC draws you into the intense testimonies and discoveries! It is this sense of discovery that makes video games and interactive entertainment as a whole so unique! These games surely aren't everyones cup of tea, and yes, this latest game has the same problems as the prior games, such as some inconsistent logic and inability to fast forward through text. And yes, this is probably the easiest game in the series. However, the game also has all the brilliant writing and charming characters as the previous entries, as well as an engaging new plotline and investigation sequences that are well laid out throughout the five great cases. But most importantly, this game is missing none of that satisfying sense of discovery that will make you smile, laugh, and get some intense chills up and down your spine as you try to figure out everything once and for all! I just hope these games never ever end, and that they keep evolving and refining the amazing formula and music. My only request for the next game--MORE suspicious suspects so that the solution isn't too obvious (I'm wise to disguised bad guys by the fifth game). Also, some of the darkness from the previous entries is missing. Thanks for bringing this series to America capcom!… Expand

It brings a lot of new stuff to the table, and I liked almost every one of them. The new "Logic" mechanic is fun, the confrontations get more epic than ever before, and the soundtrack has a lot of amazing songs to offer. I totally recommend this.… Expand

You switch between investigation andWhen you think about it from a gameplay perspective, it's not that different from the main games. You switch between investigation and argument a few times in each chapter .The difference is how the investigation is conducted, and you have rebbutals instead of testimonies, which practically function the same. In previous titles, you argued in court to find the truth. In this game, you argue on the crime scene to prove the truth. It seens like it should be the other way around. The absence of finding the truth in arguments makes them less memorable.
   
   Now to cover the investigations. They are very different, as you stay on the same property the entire time instead of going back in forth between the crime scene and the detention center. Because te areas are united, You walk around the areas. This opens up a lot more places to instigate. In all, the new investigations were a blast for me. I wished they'd've kept this style in future installments. Playing though edgeworth's shoes, a character who you've gotten to know well in previous titles is a pleasant suprise. All the cases were connected, which j found really interesting, as you got one step closer to the yatagarasu and smuggling ring leader's identity. The new characters, specifically Lang and Kay, are really well developed and likeable.
   
   tl;dr, this is a great twist on the ace attorney formula that all fans should enjoy.
   
   I'd give this game a higher score if it's sequel, the Japan-only Gyakuten Kenji 2, wasn't infinitely better than the original. Playing GK2 made me realize that this game's storyline isn't as good as other AA games.… Expand

This had a good story, great characters, and great cases. I also always love to see more of Edgeworth, so I'm glad he got even more fleshed out in these games. My only gripe with this game is that it doesn't quite reach the heights of Investigations 2. This is an A+ tier Ace Attorney game.… Expand

   Ace Attorney Investigations was a fun game but I didn't enjoy it as near as much as the main games of the series. The pacing of the casesAce Attorney Investigations was a fun game but I didn't enjoy it as near as much as the main games of the series. The pacing of the cases wasn't as good as an AA case. The plot was not that interesting as well. The first 3 cases weren't that engaging and you didn't care about the characters of those cases that much. Some of them were good, at best, but that's all. As for the last 2 cases, they are more interesting because they are more plot related, they have some great twists, and you also get to meet way more interesting and engaging characters in Them. Still though, the last case wasn't as engaging as any other AA in the series. As for the main characters of the game, which is Edgeworth, Von Karma and Lang, I have to say that I loved those characters. They are great personalities. Specifically, Edgeworth (one of my favorite characters in the series), which if he wasn't in the game, the rating would drop. Also, although the amazing AA sense of humor is there, it's still a bit lacking comparing to Phoenix Wright games. The artstyle and the soundtrack are very good though.
   
   To sum up, this game is good. The pacing isn't that good, neither the cases are generally that good - except the last two with some interesting twists - the main characters are great as well, and, in general, gives that AA feel, but not as near in the same level as any other game in the series. I do recommend it, but if you are not a huge fan of the series, you can skip it.… Expand
