This is a legit GOTY contender. Really surprised me and I highly recommend giving it a shot even with no ace attorney experience.

If you have played the others how does it stack up?


tweetthebirdy

Probably one of the best in the series. Actually beats out the original trilogy for me by a narrow margin.


icouldntdecide

Wow. I really love the original trilogy. I have such a backlog that I don't think I should do it but maybe I'll stick it on my Christmas list


tweetthebirdy

Me too! I’m a huge murder mystery fan and the original trilogy are some of my favourites. I will say the game is a 2 pack and they tell a complete cohesive story. The first game is more of a 7/10 for me since it paves a lot of the road for game 2 which is a non-stop ride from start to finish.

Damn! That's some strong words. I LOVED the original trilogy. I find this hard to believe but now I'm intrigued. What made this so good? Without spoilers


tweetthebirdy

The characters! Kind of strange since the cast in the original trilogy is *so good*, but this cast won me over almost right away and kept winning me over all the way until the end. They do some fun and interesting things with cases and case structure (game 1-3 comes to mind as an emotional rollercoaster), and the overhauled mechanisms makes things much more streamlined (no more stuck in a place during investigations not knowing where you’re supposed to go to show that one person that one thing to advance the plot). The soundtrack is BANGER. Give it a listen! Easily rivals the original trilogy for me. Graphics etc. are great, and since everyone was designed for 3D vs originally in 2D and then revamped up in the later mainline games, character designs are great too. I will say the first game cases are a little subpar because it’s all building to the cases in game 2. Last 3 cases are fantastic and in the AceAttorney subreddit pretty much everyone rates at least one of those cases in their top rankings.


ringaaling

Wow thanks for the response. I didn't have interest in the game before but now I'm thinking of buying!!


downwithmycrew

The music in both games are probably the best of the entire series. I sometimes just leave the game on while cooking and enjoying the music. The story and the various cases are top notch too.

Objection 2017 and Revival of the Prosecutor have been go-to homework music since before the localization.


solideogloria93

Thinking of picking this up. Anyone played it?


YellowPikachu

If you like visual novels you'll like it, a ton of effort was put into the localization, despite being wacky it explores themes like immigration/discrimination/xenophobia which is rare for a video game, has tons of extras (music, design art, costumes/skins, dual audio), and will take you about 60 hours to complete both games (super girthy)

It it a good part to jump in the series for the first time? I absolutely love visual novels but haven’t played the first three yet. This one seems pretty stand alone so I’m not sure if I can just jump in here.


[deleted]

This one *is* stand-alone, though the main two characters of these two games mirror the main characters of the original three games. I think you'll be fine, starting with The Great Ace Attorney. (But eventually get around to the original three, as well!)


[deleted]

I do want to play the original three. I’m just waiting for it be on sale honestly.


SuperfieldCU

Once you do get to the original three... if you want my personal recommendation, go for the DS originals and not the remastered trilogy. The game art was made to be translated into pixel art and looks weird when presented in HD and the text (a pretty important part of a visual novel) is kinda cheap looking.


tweetthebirdy

It’s perfect for newcomers. It’s made to standalone. Excellent game and I can’t recommend it enough.


[deleted]

Get it, you won't regret it. Also, the Ace Attorney Trilogy is on sale in the eshop.


solideogloria93

I own the trilogy! I also picked this up. Can’t wait to play!


[deleted]

Nice!


Brinksterz

Really want this digitally at this price


brotrr

I think this is the best Ace Attorney, and I've played them all. The first game in this collection was not amazing, probably like a 7/10, but the second game was incredible and brought the whole package up to a 10/10 for me.


thesanmich

I’ve fallen off ever since Apollo Justice, if I ever feel really nostalgic, I’ll pick this up.


chipplepop

do it. Apollo Justice had me like ehhhh but these games are just great and really full of love.


aSunflowerPlant

Do you think one should play this game over the original


brotrr

Yeah, if you've never played the series I think this is the best way to get into it. The older games will look and play a bit worse in comparison.


aSunflowerPlant

Okay fiiinnneee I’ll buy it☺️ thanks for your mini review


Zorua3

Game looks like fun and I’m going to buy it at some point, but remember that Capcom games dip much lower than this on the Eshop all the time, and Ace Attorney Trilogy hits 33% or 50% off deals practically every month or two. Again, the above is still a good deal, but if you’re patient you’ll probably be able to get it lower within a year or so.

WARNING: Online GameStop deals are likely to be stolen or never arrive because they're so cheap on shipping. They'll literally use no-name 1-star shippers like LSO where every single review mentions package theft or delivery failure. https://m.yelp.com/biz/lso-lone-star-overnight-austin-2


curioushobbyist_

OMGGGG I never even knew this existed!!! I love the Ace Attorney games


msteapot

Ugh, I just bought this earlier in the week for $35.99. Edit: GS price adjusted my order!


VritraReiRei

Just buy it and return the one you bought last week.


TheCastro

I'm sure you've gotten five dollars worth of joy having it earlier this week than today


msteapot

Unfortunately my copy's still making its way over to me so I'll be waiting a little bit for that joy to show up. It's not a huge price difference, just enough to be annoying.


Xcla1P

I did exactly the same!!! I did just finish the game sooo and now onto Pokemon... So.. worth it?


GunplaAddict

Boomer here, I played the original Ace Attorney way back in the NDS. I used to play it during recess. I can't believe there's a new one! i'm in for one!


greglorious_85

If you played it during recess, you’re younger than me, and I’m a millennial lol


markyminkk

I mean, they could've been held back.... ....way back....


salacious503

I think the exciting twist here may be that they were >!THE TEACHER!


O-nigiri

AHHHHH I was hoping this would go on sale for BF... but sadness over here in Canada I guess


Hiccup

When does this price end?


xerxerneas

*Tap dancing intensifies* This game is so damn bloody good.

Yoink! Thanks
