- Introduction
The new Ace Attorney game, starring Miles Edgeworth has finally hit the market. This is a quick first impression review of the game!
- Gameplay
Gameplay has changed alot since the days of Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice, the main difference is that you never get to do an epic battle in court.
Instead you go around solving crimes like a detective, and along the way you get to change "partners" to help you in your quest. One other big difference is that you now have full control over your character, the gameplay has evolved into being more "free" for you too explore, and this concept really fits into what you are doing.
As Miles Edgeworth you are also aiming to get criminals guilty instead of finding them innocent, which can feel of awkward in the beginning if you recently played through the older Ace Attorney games. The gameplay perfectly fits into the concept.
You can use a system called Logic in which you can combine information you gathered and make it into a new kind of information, just don't combine the wrong peices of information or meet the consequences.
- Graphics
This game has moved from being a graphic novel (Like the old Ace Attorney games) to more of an adventure-like kind of game in terms of graphics. You don't have static backgrounds anymore with one or two moving sprites, and this makes the game more alive, but there is still many parts of the game that keeps the old style of graphics, like when speaking to important characters the screen changes to the old-styled graphics like a visual novel.
- Sound
Here is where the game is lacking, the music has this chilled out style, which perfectly fits to Miles Edgeworth but not to the gameplay. Do you remember in the old games where you yelled Objection and that epic cornered theme started to play, you got that epic feeling and the music really enhanced your feeling that you cracked the witness.
But in Miles Edgeworth you still hear i little more speeded tune but it didn't really enhance the feeling, it still sounded to low-paced, and that's a major flaw.
- Lasting Replay
This is a quick one because i haven't played through the whole game yet, but the cases never changes just like the old games, the first runthrough is great but there isn't much replay value because you already know what happens. But i'll admit i went back to some of the old cases in the old games just because of the addictive gameplay so i guess that it applies to this too.
- Overall
Overall so far the game is really great, you have your references to old characters and events from the older games which is great. It's great that you now are switching places to be a prosecutor instead of a defence attorney. The only thing that is a major drawback is the music, it's good. But it just doesn't fit to certain parts of the game.
( Score 8/10 )
