acts 1 - 3 are really rough. 1 is just super forgettable and basic. 2 has really awful investigations due to so many rooms close together (phoenix makes one funny british joke tho), and i am not big fan of the characters. 3 has worst characters and writing. and von karma thru out all 3 is super annoying bc of her whip. These 3 are very very boring and made me almost stop playing.

act 4 is so so good. the writing is witty and funny and emotionally charged. edgeworth is great as always. the new characters are all developed very interestingly. not as many twists and turns as last two cases of the first game, but unlike the first game, the investigation here is much more consistent (but still not great). there is still issues with really specific answers that require a guide, and the fact that you cant skip intro texts, among other things. the ending of the case caps everything off nicely. so far this case is in top 3 for me among these two games.

so how do u rate a game that is 75% trash and 25% godlike? really prob more than 25 percent but estimation. well idk. im not replaying those parts of the game again if i ever play this again. it sucks, if the game was just act 4 it would get a very very high rating. ah well.
