    It's not systematically bad, but it has a pretty boring villain and a cliched ending.

    This game should have been better, and while cases 2 and 4 are still enjoyable, they're really nothing to write home about. The writing in this game is incredibly bad outside of the aforementioned cases 2 and 4, a bit of a problem in a visual novel. I can not stress enough how much of a chore cases 3 and 5 are, they S U C K. thankfully, the sequel was much better, but this is easily theThis game should have been better, and while cases 2 and 4 are still enjoyable, they're really nothing to write home about.

    Demasiado lineal y predecible. Son mucho mejor los otro juegos de la saga. El argumento es bastante predecible, los personajes no son muy carismáticos, aunque lo de investigar no está mal.

    I enjoyed my time with Edgeworth, but it's the weakest entry in the series. [Issue#203, p.95]

    Edgeworth is always good company, but what this spin-off fixes in execution, it loses in melodrama. Still, nice to have the gang back. [Feb 2010, p.58]

    Gently tweaks the mechanics and upholds the writing smarts. Needs more menace, though. [Mar 2010, p.77]
