Excellent addition to the Ace Attorney Series!
For all you Ace Attorney fans out there you don't need me to explain, mostly everything is the same in this game except for a few things. First off, instead of searching a scene with your stylus for a few clues like in the previous games you can now play adventure game style, with Miles walking around the room to talk to people and inspect objects in the room, it brings more interaction into the game which I love, second, you do not play in a courtroom in this game, instead you have arguments and rebuttals wherever you happen to be with different people in the game, third I think the graphics are improved a little in this game since the last one, and fourth and last, you now collect clues that go into your "logic" or thoughts and you have to connect two together to discover new leads into the case, that was a nice extra game play addition I think.
The only things I have noticed are is that I think this game is easier than the previous ones, I don't find myself getting stuck and close to losing all my meter bar as in previous games. Some of the music is recycled and as usual there aren't many character dialogue graphics as usual in past games. However, the stories are excellent as always, the characters are as lovable and comical as ever, and the soundtrack adds greatly to the game play as usual, so that downsides don't ruin the game for me much at all. As long as there is an Ace Attorney game out there I will play it. Long live Ace Detective: Gumshoe 2012 :-)
