Originally the final case of the first game, “Turnabout Goodbyes” saw the DL-6 Incident come to its conclusion in dramatic manner. For many, this is the case that first displayed Ace Attorney’s immense storytelling capabilities – but will it hold up to an intensive Deep Dive?

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Sisters” (Phoenix Wright – Case 2)

After a fairly standard tutorial case, I was ready for Ace Attorney to truly wow me. While it didn’t accomplish that (for reasons I’ll explain shortly), it was certainly a step in the right direction – albeit a small one. Like with how I reviewed The First Turnabout, I’ll be evaluating the merits of “TurnaboutContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Sisters” (Phoenix Wright – Case 2)”
