    The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is two deduction-based adventure games in one, set over a hundred years prior to the original Phoenix Wright trilogy. With improved graphics, fun new characters and enthralling cases to solve, it more than lives up to the legacy of its classic predecessors.

    Not only are the two games in The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles remarkable examples of what this series can do, but they deliver a massive amount of content for the price. When played back-to-back, you’re looking at around 70 hours of playtime in total, and that isn’t including all the extra content. I’m delighted that I can now go from desperately wanting Capcom to localize the games to desperately wanting Capcom to announce The Great Ace Attorney 3! These games are full of the same over-the-top craziness and heartbreaking melodrama that makes the series so memorable, and I highly recommend it to both long-time fans and those who are simply looking for a fantastic story. Absolutely no objections here.

    The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is Capcom's best opportunity to bring us 2 of the best titles in the series. This is a fantastic package filled with meaningful content: 10 main chapters with a solid script, unexpected twists and a story that, taken together, is interesting and drives you to know more. The period setting and the care taken in integrating geopolitical elements are excellent details. Investigative scenes, deduction sequences, the ability to examine the evidence, and the attention to detail when pressuring witnesses are all too much fun, plus the addition of a jury and the possibility Interrogating multiple witnesses at once puts a fresh spin on the series.

    This court finds The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles guilty of being a bit uneven, but it more than makes up for it through the quality of the second game in this two-game package.

    The adventures of Phoenix Wright's ancestor never gets old ! Finally in occident, you'll find all the charms of the saga with these two games ! Except you really need to speak english. If you're not fluent, with no french version, forget about that nice score here, It'll be no more than an incomprehensible visual novel to you.

    The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles has the rush of excitement of the courtroom but chooses melodrama over mystery.

    Ace Attorney is my favorite series of all time so I'm super biased, but this is easily one of the best additions to the series.

They subvert a lot of past Ace Attorney tropes and give the series a much needed breath of fresh air, which imo had hit a wall post Apollo Justice. I'd say both games combined are as good, if not better than the original trilogy. I would love to see these characters return for more adventures.… Expand

    Two of the best Ace Attorney games ever with a decent PC port, barring the unjustified CPU usage and the 30 fps cap

    I'm six hours into the game and it's an excruciating bore, I've not had to make a single interesting nor challenging decision. The characters,I'm six hours into the game and it's an excruciating bore, I've not had to make a single interesting nor challenging decision. The characters, writing and pacing is tedious. The puzzles can barely be called puzzles since the characters tell you exactly what to do. Sitting through long stretches of text, with no choices about what to do barely makes this a game at all. Click on everything in the room. Now do exactly what I say. Etc. This is a shame because I'm a big fan of the previous games which had great puzzles, writing and pacing. This one, after six hours, is a bore.… Expand
