The DLC case’s out! It looks utterly absurd, with singing pirates and stuff. (Not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing yet…)

Well, I hope I’ll end up agreeing with you, because I did find case 5 underwhelming.

In other news, this game’s chronology is officially making my head hurt. If I’m not mistaken, it goes:
Case 2
DLC case
Case 3
Case 4
Case 1
Case 5
(with 4-1-5 taking place on consecutive days)

Seriously, what’s wrong with good old chronological order?

Well, I’m done with the DLC case and it gets a huge “meh” from me. I guess it’s sort of fun in a crazy way, but that’s about it. Like much of the rest of the game, there’s so much hand-holding and the mysteries are so obvious that I spent most of the case just feeling frustrated at how slow everything was moving. It used to be that I felt that the AA games were always 3 moves ahead of me and I was just scrambling not to get lost, but here I was just waiting for stupid Phoenix to finally be allowed to blurt out what I had figured out three hours earlier. I also never really managed to get emotionally attached to any of the case’s characters, so I didn’t really care what happened to them.

I felt that this case was just an reminder of how stale the AA series has become. I was glad (for a while) to see Phoenix and co. again in the main game, but that extra case just felt unnecessary and I would have been better off skipping it and saving $6 and a few hours of my life.

just finished the dlc case, (still have to play through case 4&5). I can definitely see where this case is better played in the middle of the game… it would not have been a great case to end on. I thought it was okay, really the least predictable of the 4 iv played so far. Still.. the puzzles havnt been very good, and the game makes it near impossible for you to get stuck.

I’m still slowly going through the game, still early in case 3… It’s disappointing so far, the second case just went on and on and it was just not funny. The new detective and prosecutor pale in comparison to Gumshoe and Edge. I hope the game picks up, the third case at least seems more interesting.

Well, after dragging through the second case things got a lot better and I was glued in the final 2 cases. Changing attorneys and using the different powers kept things fresh (although, like Blackquill pointed out, Apollo’s power is basically cheating and doesnt make sense…) the twists of final 2 cases were fun and seeing Apollo being a dick was new. Blackquill brothers and Athena were great new characters. Athena’s power was kind of weird and sometimes I think it wasn’t very logical but I liked the mechanic.
Fan service at the last case was good Edgeworth and Pearlsand I guess the new detectivehad a reason to appear for so long, but I hope he is gone for good . Free Gumshoe and Maya!!

In the end, a solid title for the series, with a boring middle part but a strong ending and some cool new characters. I like the “dark ages of the law” theme and want to see how they end this new trilogy. Maybe the new game will focus in the new trio of attorney/prosecutor/judge.
The investigation parts were not very interesting but thankfully the game kept the most of the focus in the court parts
I liked the new “train of thoughts” mechanic and hope they continue to evolve it.

I was skeptical of the new 3d engine but the characters and animations look amazing. It’s a gorgeous game and new engine brings it more to life.

I still have to play the DLC chapter but I’ll probably save it for later if it doesn’t have anything new for the main storyline.
