Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth

It's Miles Edgeworth's time to shine. Yes, the brilliant prosecutor gets the lead role, though he does not, well, prosecute. The courtroom drama brought by the first games are now moved in the sidelines as we focus on the crime scenes.

Gameplay:

At the crime scenes, you gather Evidence, and you get some ideas. You can use these ideas to formulate new ones by using the new function "Logic." There's also a new gadget called the "Little Thief" that can recreate the crime from silhouettes based on the data that you already have.

Although we are on the crime scenes, we still have the courtroom gameplay that we learned to love in the first games. We have the Testimonies and Arguments by the witnesses and your rivals, and your Rebuttals. Of course, there's still a lot of the finger-pointing "Objection!"s and "Take That!"s.

Graphics and Music:

More detailed sprites than the first games, along with the new small field sprites. The only music that really wowed me were the remix of Gumshoe's theme, the new "Objection!" theme, of course, which is a remix of Edgeworth's theme, and the one used here:

This is pretty much the general idea of the game

Characters:

In every crime scene, Edgeworth gets some assistance investigating from one of the following: the ever loyal Gumshoe, the whip cracking Franziska, and a new character named Kay. We also have cameos of both major and minor characters from Phoenix's adventures. We also have a new rival, the international investigator, Agent Shi-Long Lang, (and his sidekick Shih-na) who has hatred towards prosecutors, and who I think is one of the coolest characters in the series along with Godot.

Story:

There are five turnabouts. Four of which happens in three consecutive days, the other one is a flashback. Though the cases seem unrelated, all five are connected to the great thief "Yatagarasu" and the smuggling ring that he/she/it tries to stop.

There are a number of twists but if you have played the series before, you'd figure them out early on, or at least, you won't be as surprised as you'd be if you haven't; save for the true identity of the Yatagarasu, which I think is as brilliant as the mystery of Elise Deauxnim.
