HOME MADE 家族 - "ON THE RUN"

About 7 years after Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations, we find ourselves in the view of a newbie of law. His name, Justice, and his mission is the same. Along with the help of ex-attorney Phoenix Wright and his daughter Trucy; we follow along our hero's cases. However, these cases unlock not only the truth of the present; little by little, we find pieces of the past in the midst. This is the story of Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney.

Graphics: 8.5
Graphics could always be better, but this is a great jump since the original Gyakuten Saiban. The animation, clarity, and realism are all improved, making this one of the best 2D "novel game" I've played.

Story: 9.5
Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. It's so easy to put yourself in the place of Apollo, so the story is also easy to relate to. However, the story seemed almost too perfect at the end. :/

Gameplay: 9.5
Oh gods. Using the "Percieve" option in court is unrealistic, but really fun. Also, as a little teaser, you'll be seeing a little something else I'll keep a lock on. ;D Otherwise, the game is as always. :3

Overall: 9

My Opinion:
By far the best of the series. You might be disappointed when you see there's only 4 cases, but their pure length and the amazingness of the last case makes up for it. I guess it would probably be comparable to PWAA:TaT.

In otherwords, Apollo's definitely brought much Justice to the Ace Attorney series and I expect to see him back in the defense's seat again. I look forward to it.
