Ace Attorney Trilogy HD

Judging by what I’ve been able to play so far, the AA games are great, each with a story and writing that, like a good novel, makes you want to see more. The characters are quirky and memorable, and Phoenix is a very likable and humorous main character. Character designs range from simple yet likable to being as over-the-top as a Jojo’s villain and I love it. Everyone’s different reactions to the events in the game are hilarious. really The only problem is that a lot of the time, you’re left clicking aimlessly at random dialogue boxes and things in a room until you randomly select the option that progresses the story. Also, the HD sprites are really, *really* ugly, and some animations (particularly Edgeworth’s bowing animation) are very choppy. It looks as though the only change the team made to the original games was smoothing out the old pixel art sprites so they could repackage they game as an HD title, but it doesn’t ruin the game or anything. Overall, these seem like pretty cool games and my only regret is being too poor to buy the full games.

Let me begin by saying that this collection is amazing. The amount of content in the first game alone feels worth the whole price so having two more games after that is just incredible. The story is excellent, the characters are memorable, the pace and tension-building are top notch, and the gameplay can be quite fun. I would highly recommend this game on this or any other platform based on content alone. As for the iOS port specifically, it’s a bit buggy. Sound effects (and occasionally even music) like to disappear without warning or reason and won’t come back until the app is completely reset. The music track sometimes doubles up and won’t reset to normal until you exit and re-enter the app. The screen rotation occasionally gets locked and won’t unlock until the app is reset. Lastly, though it’s not a bug as far as I can tell, the game doesn’t actually change the real screen rotation no matter how you hold your device. The game looks like it’s horizontal, for instance, but normal phone controls like the notifications menu are all vertically oriented at all times. This can be annoying occasionally and is a truly strange design choice. Overall, the convenience of having these games on the go is well worth the bugs, but I hope that someday this game gets patched so that it’s a bit more stable. Well worth the purchase, regardless. After playing the first two trials for free, I was hooked and never looked back.

I haven’t bought anything but this has definitely won me over in terms of how much I enjoy this. If they cleaned up the menu a bit and fixed a bug where I can be guaranteed sound without any Bluetooth device when I disconnect said device in game, that would be great. I suppose I use my speaker and headphones mostly though so no skin off my nose. As far as purchases, I’m not sure I can pull seventeen bucks right now, and saving three bucks sounds nice if I buy the whole trilogy because I might buy the whole thing anyway. BUT as far as the initial game it’s conceivable that I can pull of 20 bucks at l a later date gradually over time, so then the only question is whether the original ace attorney game is worth it with only three episodes left for six bucks, a 2$:1 episode ratio. I suppose what would determine THAT is the amount of trials held in court each episode, yet just knowing that would spoil story. As to reiterate on above, I’m also trying to buy a Fire Emblem, (not that shameful excuse of an app,) or Splatoon 2, a new 3ds xl, and Switch online services, not to mention Luigi’s Mansion or bowsers inside story for 3ds. So it’s conceivable that I wouldn’t get back to buying the trilogy. 😖 Ergo, (😁👍) my indecisiveness. I’ll ask a fan who’s knowledgeable about this. In a way, this is a problem that one can love to have. 👌🧐

I LOVE Ace Attorney. And it’s all thanks to this app!! As a 15-year-old kid who missed the bus for the original DS version and didn’t really ever hear of this game till it came out on the App Store, this app is literally the first contact I made with something I now talk about on the daily. It’s exactly the game I’ve been looking for for a long time, and it got me into forensics and mock trial at school. I know it’s got some bugs, and after getting the third game for my DSi, I do think it’s a little cleaner in its original version, I think this app still embodies the best part of the game (and is basically the only thing I do on my phone). The convenience of it being an app outweighs most of the glitches. The only thing that really bugged me was the problem with Rise From the Ashes where the luminol was ineffective, and I basically have to skip ahead in order to move on. Also, I used to be able to see achievements on Game Center, but I can’t access this part of the app anymore. All in all, it’s not perfect, but it’s my favorite game on my phone or elsewhere!! :3

I’ve been wanting to play the Ace Attorney games for a while, so I looked up where I should start. I was directed to the HD trilogy. Once I’d found out that it was on mobile, I jumped on that because I wanted to have it on the go without having to carry my DS with me everywhere. And so, I paid the fee and got all three games in one; a risky play if you ask me. If I didn’t like the games then I’d be stuck with them after spending 15 dollars. Thankfully, however, I love these games now. The idea of a courtroom based game where you play as a lawyer doesn’t seem like something that’d be fun, but boy is it ever. After the first chapter I was hooked, and I’m currently nearing the ending of the first game. The writing in this game is genius, the artwork is all beautiful in HD, and my only complaint is that I hadn’t played it sooner. I recommend you get this game and play the first trial before purchasing, just so you know whether or not this game is for you before making such a significant purchase. But if you’re like me, you’ll fall in love with this game real quick!
