I finally managed to play this trilogy. It was a near perfect experience.
The story in unbelievably engaging. Plot twists happen at the most perfect moment. Character development is tied perfectly to the story progression. When something happens the player will know for sure how certain characters will react, for they are geniously written. The same applies to character design: they nailed it. There are a lot of characters to deal with, however I can easily remember them all. Their name, their appearance, their way of speech, the track they are accompanied with, these all contribute to make them feel alive. I found myself screening multiple times whenever Ms. Oldbag showed up, or when Gumshoe told me "Von Karma" was going to be the Prosecution in episode 2 of Justice for All. They are amazing, every single one of them. One in particular.
Soundtrack is pretty much perfect. Every track is brilliant and leaves an everlasting impression. It is a no brainer why some of the OST is common knowledge in the gaming community. The pursuit theme is iconic and everyone has heard it al least once in their lives. "Objection!" basically is a cultural reset and there is no denying it.
Godot. He is introduced in the third game, meaning he gets little showtime. In fact, while playing I was sure I loved every single character equally. I was wrong. Godot steals the show every time he appears. Along with Mia, Phoenix and Edgeworth, his contribution to the story has meaning throughout the whole story. I cannot go into spoilers here, because it would be cruel to rob people the surprise. I have the impression that Godot could be the life change experience for many people. He didn't affect me that much, but I'm sure he would have if I played this game earlier in my life. Thanks Godot.
Go play this game. Is on sale very often, don't miss the opportunity.
