Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice For All Impressions
Early this morning I started up Justice For All. Â As a fan of the original, it felt very familiar. Â It basically feels like an expansion pack; play is almost identical, as is the GUI, and many audio/visual elements are reused. Â Thus far I've noticed these gameplay modifications:
- In the first game you'd have a set number of big mistakes you could make in a trial before it ended. Â Now there's a bar; I guess this gives a chance to give different circumstances different weights of importance?
- Previously, you could only Present a piece of evidence. Â Now, you can Present a person's profile.
Perhaps there will be more, but I've only gone through the first, shortest, one day trial. Â I've done no investigating yet. Â The idea for the beginning is pretty ingenious; Phoenix has amnesia, which thus gives the game an excuse for him to relearn the basics. Â It probably makes things much easier for gamers who haven't played the first game, too; they start out no more confused than the protagonist.
It's more of the same, but the old same was fun, so here's hoping.
