    The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles isn’t just a reminder of why the series as a whole is beloved, but also a reaffirmation that video games can be capable of so much more as an entertainment medium. Straddling the line somewhere between book and interactive movie, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles takes players through case after case packed with wonderful characters, stories, and clever brain teasers. Although adventure games/visual novels aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, if you’ve been looking to try one for the first time or give them another shot, this is the game. The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is a blast.

    Two of the best entries in this excellent series finally make it to the West, even if its missing the translation to other languages like Spanish.

    Although it can be tough at times to jump into an era that you’re unfamiliar with, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles masterfully offers all of the gameplay you’d hope for without leaning on other iterations for story content.

    This is an impressively complete story. By the end of Resolve, I felt like all of the plot threads had been tied up; that questions that had lingered, some for almost 80 hours, had been answered. While Chronicles moves too slowly at times--especially during the Adventures half--the payoff at the end is worth the wait.

    Franchise fans should be psyched to get the two Great Ace Attorney games, and in a polished package. It won’t change your mind about these titles one way or the other, unless you have a strong feeling about the period-piece setting. But it does what it sets out to do.

    Really fun and good stories imo, feels just like an Ace Attorney game, whether you think that’s a good thing or not is your opinion and I amReally fun and good stories imo, feels just like an Ace Attorney game, whether you think that’s a good thing or not is your opinion and I am reviewing these two games specifically rather than the series as a whole. Really entertaining mechanics and actual interesting history details included within the game. Some of the characters are racist and will make racist comments towards your character as your character is Japanese and you play parts of the game in Britain.… Expand

    Fantastic entry in the Ace Attorney series. The puzzles in the 2 games weave together into one intriguing and interesting story.
