It's ok. I thought it was a bit lacking compared to the other Ace Attorney games I had played up to this point (AA1-3 and both GAA games). Cases generally could've been better and lacked dynamism. Aside from the 4th case, which is actually really great and my favorite part of the game, and the 5th case, which is also good. In general, the game suffers from the lack of emotional depth in Edgeworth. He doesn't feel very connected to the events of the game and at times it feels like he's purely solving cases because he happened to be in the area or it's related to him insignificantly. This also makes the mysteries of the cases feel less interesting due to the lack of personal stake between the main characters and some of the mysteries. It's nothing too bad, though, and it's still a decent enough time, but during my playthrough it just felt like the game was missing something. It's a fine game that fails at making Edgeworth feel connected to it's plot, but it's not bad; it just could be better. Apparently the sequel rocks though. I'm excited to try that.
