Great update to a great series

Games in this series appear to get marked down for being too similar to previous games in the series. Why? If the first was great, and the future games keep all those great things, it should still be great. Apollo Justice keeps the greatness of the earlier entries and add to it by making more use of the touch controls.

I'll admit that I was very uneasy about the change to a new main character for this series. The best things about the games are the characters and the story. I'm glad to say that all my fears were unwarranted. There's plenty of overlap of new and old characters, and most of the new ones are just as endearing. I was overjoyed to see the return of Emma from the original game, now all grown up, although I would have prefered a bit more of her original personality. I also liked the way all of the cases weaved together into one overall story. Here's hoping for the return of even more characters in the future.

The overall gameplay remains the same, but the addition of the new forensic techniques is very welcome. My only minor complaint is that they could have been used more often in future cases.

All I can say is that I'm looking forward to the next game even more.
