The highly anticipated crossover between Professor Layton and Ace Attorney is, to put it nicely, a piss-poor Professor Layton game and an incredibly dull and drawn-out Ace Attorney game.

Despite some genuinely compelling spins on the style of both games, it's ultimately the plot and structure rather than the gameplay that sours the experience. A plot as long and convoluted as an Ace Attorney game with the awful contrivances and twists of a Professor Layton game? Pass.
