Everything GREAT About Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth!
Episode 1: Turnabout Visitor
Spoilers!
(Obviously...)
"Again, showing us the killer in the first case is cliched at this point, but it's a good way to pique the player's interest in the greater scheme of things." *ding*
(Edgeworth shows up) "For the first time in the franchise, we are actually seeing our protgaonist outside of court as we see what he does and control his actions as well." *ding*
"Also, Miles Edgeworth." *3 wins*
(Edgeworth staying calm even when an intruder holds him at gunpoint) "Bad. Ass." *3 more wins*
"Keeping the visitor's face in shadow is a good move. That way, the game makes us think it's Portsman at first, but we find out it isn't him later in the case." *ding*
"Detective Gumshoe." *3 wins*
(Edgeworth explaining how to use Logic) "The Logic feature of this game and its sequel is one of the best mechanics Ace Attorney has to offer, and it's very down-to-earth, too." *ding*
"Also, Logic tutorial!" *ding*
"Also also, the Logic theme." *ding*
(Beginning the investigation) "And now, comes one of the best parts of the game: controlling the player character freely and examining several things at the crime scene or anywhere else." *ding*
"Examining evidence thoroughly once again." *ding*
"Jacques Portsman." *minus a win*
(Edgeworth and Gumshoe immediately refute Portsman's accusation against the former) "Simple logic. And the best part is Edgeworth doesn't cross-examine him yet." *ding*
"The Investigation ~ Core theme." *ding*
(Edgeworth: That would be illogical.) "Star Trek reference?" *ding*
(Edgeworth: If you are going to accuse Detective Gumshoe of being the culprit... I sincerely hope you have some proof to back it up.) "Standing up for your subordinate/friend!" *ding*
(The options on whether or not to read the tutorial on cross-examining or in this game, confronting the rival/witness/suspect) "Knowing Edgeworth, he'd definitely get down to business right away." *no win*
(Miles Edgeworth ~ Objection! 2009) "I love this rendition of Edgeworth's music." *ding*
(Portsman's damage animation) "Hahahahahaha..." *ding*
"Portsman's jacket animation is really annoying... especially with that sound." *minus a win*
"Maggey!" *ding*
(Gumshoe trying to take the blame for Maggey) "Aww..." *ding*
(Portsman: Th-Then are you proposing... that the killer is a prosecutor?) "Yes. And if you're like Manfred von Karma or Godot." *ding*
"Payne cameo!" *ding*
(Pursuit ~ Lying Coldly) "Yep!" *ding*
"When in doubt, use Logic to find your way out!" *ding*
"Edgeworth laying out his scenario about what really happened shows just how far he's come as a character and prosecutor." *ding*
"Also, Announce the Truth 2009!" *5 wins*
(Confrontation ~ Presto 2009) "Awesome!" *6 wins*
(Portsman on the gun and pendant) "Foreshadowing that case." *minus a win*
(Portsman's breakdown) "Yep!" *ding*
"Though, it didn't come up at all and feels like an afterthought, Portsman's role in the smuggling ring and the reason he broke into Edgeworth's office plays a much bigger role as we find out later." *ding*
(The "Yatagarasu" card) "Of course, this is really a directives card from the ringleader, the fact that it bears the symbol of the three-legged raven helps build up the mystery surrounding the Great Thief Yatagarasu." *ding*
"Also, the Yatagarasu theme." *ding*
Total Win Score: 42
Award: The Best Logical Conclusion!
