However, its biggest flaw is that it is aimed at fans of both PL and AA, and people who have only played one of the game series may be frustrated at some points. But, once you learn the ropes of the game, said "biggest flaw" becomes insignificant, and the game will become an experience you will not soon forget.… Expand

It let me fall in love with the Phoenix wright AND the Professor Layton series! The story was so thrilling that I finished the game after one weekend and non-stop playing. Please buy it if you can find it because its seems to get pretty rare!… Expand

I will say that yes, which franchise you like better will make you enjoy the aspect of the game that involves which character you like better, but it doesn't take away from the game at all. Even if you haven't ever played a Professor Layton, or Phoenix wright game, you will love this game if you enjoy puzzles, and contradictions. Even more, it will make you want to go buy the games for these two brilliant characters which is a great way to get into their games. I'm about 13 hours in, and I have enjoyed ever moment, a game to pick up if you own a 3DS!!!… Expand

   For the most part, Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is a great combination of the two series. I can't speak for ProfessorFor the most part, Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is a great combination of the two series. I can't speak for Professor Layton (since I've not played one of those games before this), but the Ace Attorney-style trials are still there, albeit not as engaging.
   
   Rather than in London or Los Angeles, this game predominantly takes place in the medieval-inspired Labyrinthia, where the inhabitants believe in witches and magic, and hold "witch trials", with anyone found guilty of witchcraft immediately executed. However, although the conversations between characters like Maya and Luke are handled well, the setting prevents many characters interacting with characters from the other series (there's no Professor Layton/Larry Butz interaction here). Also, the new characters vary widely in quality. On one hand, there's pretty developed characters like Barnham, while there are other less memorable ones, like a man called "Tuggit", whose beard tugging seems to be his only unique quality.
   
   There are some fairly challenging puzzles in the game, and the witch trials can get a bit fantastical with all the "spells" and whatnot. It's clear that they put a lot of effort into the game, and I appreciate that. Overall, a good visual novel and puzzle game.… Expand

I am a huge Ace Attorney fan and I was wondering how this crossover will be compared to the series. Although the game feels more of a Professor Layton one, there are a lot of similar things that resembles the AA series and it does it almost as great as well.
   
   The story is amazing with a huge twist in the end that will blow your mind. The Medieval setting where magic and witches are real is amazing as well. The gameplay contains a lot of puzzles which are very good and AA trials which are great as well, although not as good as the main series.
   
   The soundtrack is amazing as well.
   
   What I didn't like were that there were many annoying characters to deal with, except the main ones, and of course the addition of Phoenix's and Maya's behavior, which made this game's sense of humor way better that it usually Is. Also, I found voice acting to be cringe at some points, but a good addition nonetheless. Overall, it's a great game with an incredibly good plot, great gameplay, interesting main characters and an amazing Soundtrack. Highly recommended.… Expand

The characters atmosphere and music all had the LaytonLayton vs Wright was interesting crossover that tragically missed its full potential. The characters atmosphere and music all had the Layton touch that we've come to know and love, but the gameplay took a slight impact. There are far fewer puzzles than any layton game before and they were all about a 6 on the difficulty scale, while pheonix's trials required less critical thinking and more tedious interrogation work to progress the trial. Speaking of, though this was supposed to be a game that put both characters on equal footing it was clear that this was a level 5 game and layton was the real star of the show.
   
   All of which is forgivable had the creators not made two mistakes, one being the sandbagging of an interesting character and hindering his development. The other being that there were inconsistencies and plot holes from the beginning of the game that weren't explained by the end of it. Some of which, not all, were forced to be explained in free DLC.
   
   Overall while entertaining and a good time waster it just feels like there could have been so much better than it turned out.… Expand

You have to if you want to accept the "Twist". It makes little to no sense.… Expand
