Man, even the very first case is good stuff. It has some great "eureka!" moments mixed with some really impressive character modeling. The switch to polygon art has not harmed the expressiveness of the characters one bit. All the little touches like Athena playing with her earring when concentrating or Juniper knitting little hearts are just really charming. The 3D effect serve them we'll, too.
Yeah the production values are super high and it definitely feels like an upgrade over the older games (which were what, GBA fucking games? Except for Apollo).
I'm really liking it so far. The 3D gave me a headache from eye strain .___.
This game is definitely one of the best. It's just below 3 for me, but in some ways it's better. Mainly it doesn't take two whole games before it to appreciate it.
The only thing is that I wish they'd try something besides a murder trial. I think this might be the third time they've used the "victim wrote a name in their blood" trope. Even if it's like the second game's case where it went from a theft case TO a murder trial.
Also, I get the reverence for GS3, but I think the very first one edges it out. Bit unfair though since they added my favorite case, chapter 5, years after the third game.
The 3d looks nice, but I had to turn it off since reading text in 3d is kind of a pain.
Someone mentioned it already, but I just love how they did the visuals. It's cell shaded 3d, but the visuals and mannerisms look exactly like the older games only upgraded.
I also like that we still have the older confident PW from Apollo Justice instead of the bumbling one from the earlier games. I was expecting him to revert since he's the main character again.
Finished this last night, was very good and had a more satisfying ending than 4s.
None of the occurrences of past game characters felt too forced which was a really nice touch. Simon Blackquill continues the trend of the prosecutors being amazing.
