Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law serves as a parody of Ace Attorney in many ways. Though, I haven't played those games yet, but I imagine the format is very similar.

'The Burning Question' is clearly the weakest of the interactive episodes and each episode gradually gets better and better. Though, honestly, if 'Personal Piracy' were an episode of the series, it would be one of the show's finest episodes. It's incredibly well written, satirical, and comedically on point.

As for whether or not this works as a game or not is another story. It's interactive, sure, but it doesn't feel like it uses the medium to its full potential, hence the lukewarm rating. In addition, some of the connections between the evidence and the case are obtuse and questionable.

But I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a good time while playing it. It was a lot of fun.
