   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 has all of the excellent writing you've come to know and love from the series, an entertaining cast, and is every bit as challenging and engaging as its predecessors. Lots of inside jokes and cameos to thrill fans of previous games, but it's welcoming to newcomers and is definitely a stand-alone. The ability to actually walk around crime scenes really draws the game together and makes it feel more engaging, and offers a lot of opportunities for cute animations and visual gags. As always, the only thing keeping this from being a 10 is the occasionally frustrating logic involved -- you have to go from argument A to B with evidence C, even when it seems like D is the better way to go about things. It's a little arbitrary at times, but the penalties are much less severe and there is much more room for error this go around.… Expand

   Too linear, predictable, and condescending compared to the previous games in the series but despite these shortcomings, it's still an entertaining Ace Attorney experience. Too bad it tried to fix something that wasn't broken to begin with.… Expand
