“The Stolen Turnabout” is a filler case, no doubt about it, but it remains one of the fanbase’s favourite filler cases in the series. That being said, I have my personal gripes … I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and giving a score out of ten for each. This will give aContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Stolen Turnabout” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 2)”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Memories” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 1)
Ace Attorney had amassed quite a cult following by 2004, so Shu Takumi and his team needed to pull out all the stops to make the final game in their trilogy a memorable one. The end result, “Trials & Tribulations”, exceeded expectations and then some – and the first case “Turnabout Memories” got it offContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Memories” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 1)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Big Top” (Justice For All – Case 3)
Urgh … well I suppose I had to reach this case eventually. “Turnabout Big Top”, the third case in “Justice For All”, is widely hated by everyone … except, weirdly, Shu Takami himself (Ace Attorney’s creator and lead writer). He called this case “basically perfect”, which is incorrect for a plethora of reasons that I’mContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Big Top” (Justice For All – Case 3)”
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: “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)”
“Conflict of Interest” – Cases Ranked / Review
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”
Phoenix Wright Games & Cases – Overrated / Underrated
About ten years ago, I first stumbled across a little game called “Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney”. Over the decade since, my love for the franchise has only grown and grown. When you’re a fan of something for so long, you’re bound to develop a spicy opinion or two. Time to ruffle some feathers and sayContinue reading “Phoenix Wright Games & Cases – Overrated / Underrated”
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”
