My first introduction to the AA series - having now played all of the games, it doesn't live up to the original trilogy, but generally outdoes the later games in the Apollo Justice trilogy. It manages to feel both a little too short (only 4 cases) and also a little too long (2 of the cases are mostly filler), and it doesn't seem willing to commit to Phoenix no longer being the protagonist (as the later games fully back down on). All that said, I still enjoyed it enough to get into the whole series and I still appreciate it for what it is. Also, Klavier is best prosecutor.
