As stated in my Ace Attorney Trilogy review, I was never into the Visual Novel genre. Shu Takumi's Ace Attorney games changed that for me. It was honestly the most emotionally charged experience I've ever had. Not to exaggerate but everything about this duology is all condensed into one tightly packed story about Phoenix Wright's ancestor, Naruhodo-san.

The change in setting from Japanifornia (or wherever the original series was set) to London is a much needed addition, as it provides room for more realism in its history.

The courtroom dramas are improved to cater more than one person being questioned. The characters are memorable and their motives are sound, even the eccentric Herlock Sholmes. I'm giving this game a perfect score because it elevated the AA series to new levels, and I believed in Shu Takumi's talent.
