Edgeworth Investigations is da a bomb of Ace Attorney spin-off mobile investigation games! It is so fun! I am pretty sure it was discovered in the wreckage of a spacecraft crashed from a much superior civilization where prosecutors are the highest form of being and everyone dresses like they are Austrian aristocrats from the 1810s! It is so great to (again) live life as our favorite breakout celebrity prosecutor, this time you don’t even have to wait for Phoenix to run off a burning bridge! This game introduces some great new characters and brings back some of the lockable AA deities such as Gumshoe, Franziska and Manfred VK. Sure there’s no full on crossover with Phoenix and Maya, but there is only so much awesometasticness that can be squeezed in. Maybe a plot line where Edgeworth is stranded on Mars and only Phoenix and Maya can save him by pointing out inconsistencies would be cool, but this game gives Edgey-poo the space he needs to fully blossom as the Olympian prosecutorial super god that he is! I do wish there was a sprite of Edgeworth holding a paper with two fingers like in AA but that was probably technically unachievable! As for people complaining about needing to read too much(?) remember this is a game about lawyers! This is normal for an AA game, if you need less reading try capybara clicker!This game is nuclear level fun! Point at your own forehead superciliously with the best of them, or just run in circles, it is all so great! Miles Edgeworth will live in your phone! This game is like drinking nectar from the hallowed chalice of truth with one hand while j’accusing contradictions into oblivion with the other! Edgeworth 6 star forever #1tastic to the max!
I have never played the ace attorney series, but I decided to try this game because it looked different, and plus it had DS graphics🤩, (childhood nostalgia gets me every time). I am incredibly glad I did, the game is incredibly well done the characters are interesting and memorable, and rewards the player for using their brain Finally the business model is refreshing; this is a PREMIUM game that lets you play the ENTIRE first episode for free, plus no adds! Then it gives you the option to buy the other episodes individually or buy the full game at a discount price. After completing the first episode, (which is worth downloading the game for alone) the full game was an insta-buy for me. This is possibly my favorite iOS game right next to Wayward Souls and IMPLOSION. Now if you’ll excuse me I have a case to attend to🧐
Ace Attorney Investigations 1 and 2 are my favourite Ace Attorney games! But..... WHEN is Capcom gonna officially release AAI2 in the West? We need it. ;-; They really have a chance to make profit with no physical distribution cost now that mobile gaming is such a huge thing. I’m pretty sure a LOT of fans would pay to have an official translation of that game in some capacity. We need an Ace Attorney Investigations 3 too! I love playing as Miles, and IMO it’s a lot more fun than playing as Phoenix. (Though I do like both characters, Edgeworth has a lot more substance than Phoenix/his chemistry with Kay is very cute, since it’s rare to see him actually open up to someone the way he has with her [and Phoenix loves Maya, but they’re both pretty open people, so that’s more cut and dry than Kay and Edgey, who change each other more radically.]) I also love the peripheral characters like Franziska, Gumshoe, and Agent Lang. We need to have an AAI3 set 10 years later (like Dual Destinies and SoJ), where we see what has become of our beautiful cast. And what has happened with some of the villains/antagonists we’ve met along the way.....Maybe an M rating like DD, since Edgeworth is playing with the big boys now! ^_^ For as much criticism as it received at the time, people look back on Dual Destinies very fondly now (because it was a phenomenal game, and my favourite next to the AAI series), so it would be nice if we could finally get a release of AAI2 (as a mobile exclusive, maybe, or on the Switch?), and an AAI3. Edgeworth and the characters around him are an important part of the AA series too, so I think it is time to revisit dapper boy and see what he gets up to when he isn’t being dragged into another one of Phoenix Wright’s messes — I mean, cases. :P
I've been a major fan of the PW series for a while, it's one of my favorite series in general. The investigation games are one of the few games in the series i haven't been able to play very much, so I was excited to see the iOS port. The game itself still seems great, but the game seems to run pretty slow, and the updated sections of the graphics don't look great to me. The lag may be attributed to my iPad 3, but the tablet runs most games just fine. I'm rating it 4 stars because I do love the fat that companies are porting older games, such as the PW series and even some Professor Layton games. I want to encourage these ports, but I also want them to be good quality. Highly recommend this series.
When I saw Ace Attorney I wasn't expecting it to be that good of a game due to it not being in a courtroom, but was I wrong. It was a better character choice for it to be miles over Phoenix Wright, if they had gone with Phoenix it would be more comedic based and I'd probably have forgotten someone was murdered due to shenanigans. Miles is more sophisticated and serious way better character choice for the job. I've only beaten part one due to the rest costing money and I'll buy them but at this moment it's a very great game. The graphics aren't the best but it's a good thing it's about gameplay and not graphics.
I have never played an Ace Attorney Game for myself, and wanted to try this one out. I was really happy when I saw that it was available as an app for the iPhone. So, I purchased all the episodes, because... well, it was a good deal for the bundle. Well, I got through the first three episodes and took a break. And then, just a few minutes ago, I went back to load my save file for the fourth episode. However... a window popped up on the game saying that I needed to “purchase this episode in order to play it”. WTH?! Upon further inspection of the title screen... it was the same option. I had to PURCHASE the episodes, after already purchasing the bundle when I first downloaded the app.Either fix this or give me my money back!!
