Great Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Adventure of the Unspeakable Story” (Case 1-5)

It’s mid-point finale time! The Great Ace Attorney duology is two games in one, and “The Adventure of the Unspeakable Story” is the last case of that first game. It doesn’t really feel like a finale as a result … but it was still lots of fun, so I’m not complaining. I’ll be deconstructing theContinue reading “Great Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Adventure of the Unspeakable Story” (Case 1-5)”

Great Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Adventure of the Runaway Room” (Case 1-3)

After two cases which dragged the pacing down, “The Adventure of the Runaway Room” finally kicks things up a gear. This is where “The Great Ace Attorney” begins to find its footing. I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and giving a score out of ten for each. This will give a definitiveContinue reading “Great Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Adventure of the Runaway Room” (Case 1-3)”

Great Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Adventure of the Great Departure” (Case 1-1)

Not too long ago I finished my “Ace Attorney Deep Dive” series for the main entries, but recently I’ve found myself wanting to dive back into one of my favourite gaming franchises. I don’t think there’s a better duology to look at than the fantastic “Great Ace Attorney” spin-off games! If you’re unfamiliar with myContinue reading “Great Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Adventure of the Great Departure” (Case 1-1)”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Storyteller” (Spirit Of Justice – Case 4)

Alright. I’ll be honest with you all. Usually when I write these brief introductions I keep my opinion out of it and try to keep specifics vague, but this time there’s no point hiding it – “Turnabout Storyteller” is pointless. It’s a meaningless murder case near the end of “Spirit of Justice’s” runtime. It’s aContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Storyteller” (Spirit Of Justice – Case 4)”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Lost Turnabout” (Justice For All – Case 1)

After the success of the first game, Shu Takami – Ace Attorney’s primary writer – was ordered by Capcom to make an entire trilogy. After months of writing and re-writing, and after being rushed by tight deadlines, it wasn’t long before “Justice For All” released in Japan. Its first case “The Lost Turnabout” has aContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Lost Turnabout” (Justice For All – Case 1)”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The First Turnabout” (Phoenix Wright – Case 1)

Since Ace Attorney 7 is taking longer than I thought, I’ve ended up going back to the classics for a sort of nostalgic retrospective. I love this series so much, but the original trilogy still holds a special place in my heart – so that seems the best place to start an (un)official Deep Dive!Continue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The First Turnabout” (Phoenix Wright – Case 1)”
