It's bursting with happiness. And so am I when I play it.
I just read that line to confirm my expectations for this entry in the series :mrgreen: Perhaps I should finish Apollo Justice first though. Got stuck on a boring case in that one.

So it looks like they're taking this game in a more traditional point and click adventure style. Good, I like that.

Actually it's the same game but you walk the character around the scene rather than just move from screen to screen. It's a fun game but is it the same translation team? Noticed a few mistakes already.. Maybe the original script isn't that good? Anyway it's good fun but Edgeworth is the serious type which dampens the humour significantly. I'm still in case #2 though so it might get better?

The one with the reclusive artist and his daughter. Was that the final case? Does the ending tell us anything new about Phoenix Wright? I suppose I could watch it on Youtube.

I returned* this game after a day. :( Too "linear", too hard until I understood the game's logic, too easy after I did, and I didn't like the Miles character.

* Actually I exchanged it for Infinite Space- a rad and complex RPG!

I vaguely remember the case. I don't think it was the last one, and I can't remember anything else! A positive I suppose, as I'll get to play it again. If only I could forget what happens in Shenmue! no chance...

no the artist case is the last one, but it changes up the gameplay a bit. No you don't learn a lot about phoenix you learn more about apollo and lucy.


now for edgeworth I have to say, the gameplay is a million times better in the investigation part, but the "court" part (which is just taking testimony in the scene of the crime) is a bit boring, and like someone else said, Edgeworth just isn't as loveable or funny as phoenix. still I liked this more than apollo

I think they've exhausted the franchise with the original Phoenix Wright trilogy. This game is just too easy, and the KG-8 incident is hardly intriguing. I'm not done with it but somehow I doubt the remainder of the game will get me hooked like the first three games did.
