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: “Turnabout Goodbyes” (Phoenix Wright – Case 4)
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? I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categoriesContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Goodbyes” (Phoenix Wright – Case 4)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Samurai” (Phoenix Wright – Case 3)
“Turnabout Samurai” is easily the most controversial case in the first Ace Attorney game – most think it birthed the infamous “Case Three Syndrome”, while others (including myself) find it charming and harmless … but will it hold up to a intensive retrospective? I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and giving aContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Samurai” (Phoenix Wright – Case 3)”
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)”

After playing and loving “Contempt of Court”, I decided to play the other renowned Ace Attorney fangame – “Conflict of Interest”, itself inspired by the former. It got off to a shaky start, but I was thoroughly impressed with it by the time the final credits rolled. Before I give a quick review, let’s rankContinue reading ““Conflict of Interest” – Cases Ranked / Review”

Top 10 Best (& Worst) Ace Attorney Moments
Ace Attorney is one off – if not the – best videogame series I’ve ever played, and a lot of that it down to the jaw-dropping moments littered throughout. I’m not going to look at twists today (as that’s a separate list), but I thought I’d pick my 10 favourite and least favourite moments fromContinue reading “Top 10 Best (& Worst) Ace Attorney Moments”
Ace Attorney – Every Prosecutor Ranked
Ace Attorney prosecutors have quite an important role to play in all the games, as while there usually isn’t an over-arching baddie for the player to direct their hatred towards, the defence always needs to face off against the prosecution across all the cases. This means that you’ll be seeing these characters a lot duringContinue reading “Ace Attorney – Every Prosecutor Ranked”
The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles – Every Case Ranked
I finally got round to playing both of the Great Ace Attorney games (conveniently packaged into one glorious bundle), and oh my word was it sensational. As a complete, 10 case story, I don’t think Ace Attorney will ever reach these levels of quality again. As most people have already said, the first game takesContinue reading “The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles – Every Case Ranked”
