Just finished Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
Hmm...I guess a lot of my recent posts have been
about gaming...
In the last few years, there have been surprisingly few games that I have actually played to completion. The only ones I remember are every Phoenix Wright game and Mass Effect, all of which I thoroughly enjoyed. Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney is technically a Phoenix Wright (Gyakuten Saiban) game, but it's nice to be in control of a different character for the vast majority of gameplay.
Overall, it was a fun game, but honestly the characters were not nearly as endearing as those from the previous iterations, and this has nothing to do with it. When I was finished, I was still left wanting more, like there were too many mysteries left unresolved. Maybe that's a good thing, as I'll be even more eager to play the next game in the series. As far as gameplay is concerned, there were significant reductions in the pain points I traditionally felt with the older games - investigations are easier, and there are fewer occasions where I have no idea what to do or where to go.
Any fans of the series or genre (all 5 of us) should definitely play this game. Though to do it right you will be best off starting from the beginning with the first Phoenix Wright game.
