Say what you will about this game mostly just being setup for the sequel, but I think is the only Ace Attorney game where I enjoyed the investigation segments just as much as the trial segments. That isn't to say that the trials are any lower stakes than they usually are of course, but rather just to say that the investigations are unusually engaging this time around. I can't even say that about this game's sequel, which while being better overall by a smidge, returns to the usual Ace Attorney fare of the investigations mostly feeling like build-up to the trials and not being nearly as entertaining on their own.
