Exactly what I did. I preordered months ago because PW took me forever to get. Capcom sucks at predicting consumer demand.

The best thing anyone can do to help convince the company to bring over 3, is to pre-order And Justice For All. The better two does, the more obvious the decision to do three becomes.

This is why I resisted importing the game...

Doesn't von Karma have a whip fetish or something? I haven't played it yet.

Presentation: 7.0
The same over the top energy and focus on writing that the first game excelled at. Maybe next time we can get full voice-over as an option.
The horror ... the horror ....

Really? I would've thought you'd have a harder time with case 3, what with your coulrophobia.

Considering Capcom couldn't get Franziska's voice anything close to right in English (needed to more commanding, angry, and German), I agree that voice overs would not be a good idea. Besides that, the Phoenix Wright games would need to be a super megahits (which they aren't) to justify the expense of hiring good actors.

The thing is, Capcom did a great job at portraying Moe as what clowns really are; very unfunny people! Oh, and I like von Karma's voice... =3

Finally picked this up. Did the first case and it was awesomeness. It feels so good to be back in the Phoenix Wright universe! :')

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
I like bumping these older game threads, I think the discussion is much more interesting after more people have had a chance to pickup the game and play it a while.
Most game threads are hot the months leading up to release because forumites are in there wildly speculating and complaining about games they have never played. Once it's out, hardtime-longcore, people like Bill and Pro beat the game in the first weekend of release and stop talking about it.

Terrible.

I thought the story was really clever in the first one. Phoenix losing his memory allowed the episode to have a sort of tutorial feeling without seeming completely out of place now that he's a big-shot attorney.
The second episode was well constructed in that there weren't many instances where I had no idea what I had to do next. There were many times (especially in court) towards the end of the first game where I knew the truth but I didn't have any clue what piece of evidence to present in order to get the right answer. I never had that problem during the second episode of Justice For All. I'm eagerly anticipating the third episode, which I'll probably start up this afternoon.

I've hooked 3 people on these games not including myself. The biggest problem I see is people overthinking, getting ahead of themselves, and not keeping evidence in context of the current court's understanding of it.

Though some of the humour in the last case especially was great - like Gumshoe telling Pearl to stay away from whips.. I have to disagree with Bill, though - I didn't find the last case stressful, as he put it, at all.. You could see the ending come from a mile away, and since you already knew the truth all you needed to do was buy some time. Usually you uncover secrets during the trial, but this one was quite dull.
Also, the Edgeworth storyline was very disjointed. Even if you disregard "Rise from the Ashes" since it was never part of the original series, his whole reasoning for leaving for a year was messed up. They made it seem like after he was acquitted and von Karma was caught, he had made peace with himself, and he even wanted to trade spots with Phoenix to become a defense attorney. There wasn't even a hint that he was so troubled that he would take a year off to find himself and his purpose.
Maya's drawing on the card at the end was touching, though
Post by: Bill Aurion on July 18, 2007, 07:14:40 PM
Hmmph, I never said it was stressful as in difficult...It was stressful in the sense that you were defending a killer to buy time...And I really love my characters, so I'll personally feel more anxiety in a case with Maya on the line than some random person... =)

Defendant in Apollo Justice's (if that is the final name of the new attorney) first case, and "advisor" for the rest of the game...

Finally finished the game. BIll was right, the last case was very stressful. The ending was great and I thought it tied things up well. Edgeworth is the man, no doubt.
