Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: A true gentleman won't find this game objectionable Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright is how crossovers should be done. The game takes two successful franchises, and blends them together in a way that not only respects and highlights the source material, but also creates an entirely new franchise.
The game’s strength lies in its characters, Both the Ace Attorney and Layton games feature a cast of interesting, and extremely likeable, individuals. This game takes it one step further by not only introducing unique new faces, but also bringing together ones long time players of either series remember, and showcasing how they interact. The game’s plot centers around the enigmatic town of Labyrinthia and the bizarre events that have been plaguing it. The core gameplay is split up into two parts, As Layton you explore various locales, collecting evidence, solving puzzles, and learning as much as possible about the secretive community. As Phoenix you partake in the town’s macabre witch trials, using the previously gathered information to save your client from a gruesome fate.
The soundtrack is superb including beautiful new compositions as well as remixes of staple songs from either series, the first time you start the game and hear the title theme you know you are in for a treat. Players of the original games will appreciate the copious amounts of fan service casually referenced as the narrative proceeds, the respect and admiration given to the franchises is apparent, and a welcome sigh of relief to those skeptical about how this pairing would work.
