Despite my love and adoration for Kazuma, I liked Chronicles better. You can see who the mastermind is as soon as he appears. Cases are too long, like in the original saga. In the first game was more entertaining because it was the first time I played with such dynamics, but this one is so boring, what a pain in the ass. Every time the popular jury jumped to their guilty conclusions I wanted to rip their heads off one by one. Very well spun in the end, I guess. I'm getting tired of the gameplay of this saga, it's too rigid, elongated and strict, sometimes it's unnecessary to present irrelevant evidence before the one that is clearly going to advance the plot. It's more fluid than the other AA games, though. If you like the original saga, go ahead and play it.
