i love edgeworth but this game is very much carried by the last two cases lol. the first three are pretty tedious and just serve as setup for the ending really. but i did very much enjoy those last two; turnabout ablaze is probably in my top 3 ace attorney cases, i loved how long and elaborate it was without ever being boring, and the reveals were pretty satisfying, although i do hate calisto with all my heart. i grew to like the other recurring characters a whole lot by the end, though, especially badd and kay (and lang, to some extent). i think this format works best with longer cases, since one of my main problems with the earlier cases is that almost all of the case-specific characters end up with not enough development time and feel pretty one-dimensional for the most part; i do think the format is fun though and i look forward to eventually getting around to the sequel to see how they improve on it.
i did enjoy the game overall; with everything in consideration i think it's a solid 7/10
