So I finally got around to this! It's really good! The cases themselves usually weren't super investing (that being the 1st and 3rd) but were all put well together and everything else makes up for it. First of all, the characters are fantastic. Maya is adorable and Edgeworth has a very wonderful arc throughout the whole thing and is an incredibly well done character. I love his arc throughout and by the end he was definitely my favorite. The artstyle and no voice acting wasnt really something i was fond of at first but its really charming and I grew to like it a lot. it helps add to a lot of the humour and wackyness that takes place. The music is also very good, not exactly something I'll listen to in the car or anything but Pursuit Cornered when you find a contradiction in a testimony really gets that blood pumping. Other then that, my complaints are minimal. I played this as a part of the Trilogy, and knowing it is a GBA game its not a big deal but I feel like it could of benefited greatly from a text log and auto advance. You can hold down A for text to advance but thats kinda against the whole point, I cant eat cereal one handed im not an animal. Anyways, my only other problem is a slightly larger one that ultimately doesnt really change my opinion all that much, that being the new DLC case added from the DS version that now serves as the final case. First of all, its a very well done case. Not a favorite but its very good nonetheless. Lana and Ema are two really good characters and Ema is equally as adorable and fun to have around as Maya, but it just kinda feels unnecessary. I will say it gives more development to Edgeworth which is wonderful and only further cemented him as my favorite. However, its a set up for Apollo Justice, the fourth game in the series and considering how wonderfully the game wraps up with the fourth case, the placement cant help but feel a little odd. I think if it was labeled as such a bonus instead of the real final case things would feel a bit smoother, but even then its still a good case (if a little long) and doesnt hurt the quality of the game at all. Overall, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is a wonderful first entry to a series I can't wait to play more of. It really makes you feel like an attorney, lol.
