If you like the other Ace Attorney games, you'll probably like this one. Same deal with turnabouts, investigation, and suspense except now it's Taisho Era
The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is two brilliant games for the price of one, and it not only gives us more of what we love, but gives us something that is visually, narratively, and historically deeper than ever before. There's a bit of a learning curve that you'll have to get on top of to meet the game where it's at, but honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better version of the game we've been wanting for years.
The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is a solid package, retaining the charm and entertainment of previous entries. It's not the series’ best, but there’s plenty to keep you entertained as you work your way through case after case. The new scenery and characters made things feel fresh, but playing another Ace Attorney game also felt a bit like coming home.
For every fan out there who were passionately waiting for the chance to play a localized version of Shu Takumi's last games this is a true celebration. The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is an engrossing and fun adventure with a unique settings, and a familiar, yet completely new cast of characters.
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.
Hey look the review bomber's gone! He must've gotten embarrassed after being badassily exposed as a loser stinkyface by the best OC who ever lived! Ha ha ha! John Phoenix triumphs yet again!
The game is ok. Overall, the cases are well thought out, it is easy to control and it's a fine game you can sit and play quietly. But it’s really slow and it's not always that fun. I think you spend too much time on unimportant things in the game. It was nice to try the game but I don't know if I want to play it again.
The reviews of this game have hyped it way too much. I was hoping for something as good as the very first Ace Attorney, but this is actually a very uneven double-feature. The first half feels like a kind of experiment trying out a bunch of new features but forgetting to craft good mysteries to solve. The constant references to Sherlock Holmes stories don’t help, as these ‘twists’ on classic tales are vastly inferior. The second half is MUCH, much better: There are actual dead bodies and crime scenes to investigate, and an incredible middle chapter that is steeped in sci-fi and futurism.
But then in that classic AA style, it ends with a ridiculously convoluted mix of soap opera and conspiracy theory, whereby you somehow end up ignoring the actual crime in front of you for complete conjecture on long-forgotten events.
For the diehard AA fans this will probably be more than enough, but I was left feeling disappointed. A 7/10 game, one to pick up on sale.
The writing is poor, characters are boring and annoying, and the pacing is horrendous.
Even the music is subpar. Definitely the worst in the AA series.
Love the story lines and the vibe they’re going for, but it’s a bit slow. While playing you need to solve the mystery and then read how they’re retelling what you’ve just solved.
If you’re someone who loves solving mysteries and participating in them, really searching for clues then this game isn’t for you either. They actually make the “clues” super obvious, it gets obnoxious.
I was very excited for this game but it ended up with me just auto playing the dialogue.. wouldn’t buy again.
SummaryWith all the fun and drama of the Ace Attorney series set against the backdrop of Victorian-era Britain and Japan, there's sure to be no "Objection!" to the adventures of Ryunosuke Naruhodo as he turns the courtroom upside down.
