Having just completed Phoenix Wright - Ace Attorney: Justice for All, am I excited to play the third game in the series? Well, yes and no. Phoenix Wright is a weird one indeed, it kind of sucks you in to keep playing, and you enjoy it, even though it is not all that much fun. I'd compare it to the last game I played like this, Killer7 on the 'Cube. The gameplay wasn't AMAZING, but it had a certain something that kept it fun and kept you playing right until the (superb) ending. Definitely worth playing would be my verdict.So, I will end up buying PW:T&T because again, the ending of JfA was so good and sets up a nice story for the next game. I know they haven't particularly been implemented but here's what I'd like to see in T&T and future games in the series:
- Better decision trees. For example, where the decisions you make have a larger bearing on the game. All too often in JfA you would make a decision and the game would advance as normal either way. As you really get into character, you should be made to think carefully when making choices.
- More inventive use of the investigation phase. Totallytouchscreen and microphone madness. There are so many possibilities here. Would make PW much more of a "game" than "slightly interactive story".
- Less (ridiculous and unbelievable) plot twists, and cases where the actual murdered isn't always giving evidence earlier on in the case.
- Cases that are not murder-based. There are more crimes out there! And it ends up where the characters talk about murder as if it is nothing or trivial.
- More obvious solutions, less linear answers to the "present item x at statement y" formula.
- More animations andvoice work would of course be nice. Not expecting the entire script to be voice but a few more clips is always nice. Also continue the great music standard.
- ...Best of all, a fully animated WII VERSION! I would definitely buy this.
