review of Adventures, the 1st game
--------------------------------------------------------------
a bland ace attorney with boring cases (except the last one maybe), bad rhythm, a new soundtrack that isnt exciting at all and annoying baby simple new mechanics

von zieks had potential and hes cool and all i guess but the game decided that he cant express emotions and he cant talk longer than 5 words

example of bad rhythm: really telling that whenever phoenix (and the player) had a big revelation he crushed every objection of the prosecution maintaining momentum. meanwhile ryunosuke flinches at the slightest counter, making you wait during his lament before finally presenting the next obvious evidence that you knew anyway from the start

as a plus this is the first 3D ace attorney that doesnt look terrible and some animations are actually great, but still not as good as apollo justice (nintendo DS game)

i have written way too much about this game

I'm on part 3 of case 3 in the first game, but you're spot on about the bad rhythm and pacing. So far every "finding" and objection has been overly simple to the point of being insulting when the characters talk in circles about something obvious, such as the dinner plates being switched over in the first case. I shouldn't still be in "tutorial mode" 7 hours into the game.
