Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice Review. Share. A series of seemingly unrelated trials that ultimately weave together towards one climactic end, a cast of hilariously eccentric characters with pun- tastic names ripped straight from a prank call punchline, and a variety of cross examination techniques at your disposal to help strip away the subterfuge in each witness’ testimony. Spirit of Justice ticks all of these obligatory boxes but doesn’t really bring much else in the way of innovation, and with its uninspired investigation gameplay and a severely bloated middle act mired by mystical mumbo jumbo it’s unfortunately one of the weakest Ace Attorney games to date.

As with 2. 01. 3’s Dual Destinies, Spirit of Justice splits our control case by case between the legal team trio of Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice, and Athena Sykes. Wright actually begins the story on vacation in the fictional Far- Eastern Kingdom of Khura’in, but he’s quickly pulled into a local courtroom in order to defend his tour guide (named Ahlbi Ur’gaid, because of course he is), who’s wrongfully accused of murdering a local temple guard. It’s within Wright’s Khura’in- set cases that Spirit of Justice employs its only new gameplay trick of note, the Divination Seance. Since the primitive Khura’in legal system is rooted in spirituality and mysticism rather than facts and hard evidence, Wright must rely on the insights of a spirit medium channeling the final moments of the victim and cross- reference them with what the victim saw, heard, touched, and smelled (revealed in the waters of a divination pool) in order to find contradictions. The Divination Seances are an interesting concept and one that befits the arcane religion of the Khura’in region, but in practice the divination pool’s waters are muddied somewhat by a lack of clarity in regards to the interface. At first you’re instructed to hone in on the sensations that appear during the divination (the word . Later still the medium only shows a blurry vision of the victim’s last moments that you’re forced to fumble around with, and then subsequently she sharpens the image seemingly.

Combat Machine M4 Raider with Polymer RIS AEG Airsoft Gun ( Black) (07284 / EGC-16P-RDL-BNB-NCM) by GG - Description The Combat Machine M4 Raider with Polymer RIS Airsoft Gun features a Rail Interface System made completely. It all feels wishy- washy, and less far intuitive from the more logical cross- examination approaches found elsewhere.“I found all this Far- Eastern mysticism too far- fetched and far removed from the legal tussles I signed up for. Unfortunately, the third episode is set entirely in Khura’in, and it’s the longest episode in Spirit of Justice, clocking in at around six hours (although it felt a lot longer). Divination Seances aside, too much of the episode is dedicated to characters going on and on about spirit channeling this, that, and the other, and although the series has previously dabbled in some supernatural themes in the past I found all this Far- Eastern mysticism too far- fetched and far removed from the legal tussles I signed up for. I couldn’t wait for that episode to end. Elsewhere the more conventional courtroom battles fought by Apollo and Athena are much more intuitive and fun, but I still wish the investigation sections had received more of an overhaul. Very occasionally you’re given something interesting to do, such as the time Apollo must dust a magician’s trick coffin for fingerprints by tapping dust all over it with the touchscreen and blowing it off using the 3. DS’ microphone. At another point you get to spray luminol all over the floor in a rebel hideout in order to uncover traces of blood.“Otherwise investigations in Spirit of Justice are merely point- and- click pixel hunts We’ve certainly used these methods before in the series, yet their inclusion is still welcome since otherwise investigations in Spirit of Justice are merely point- and- click pixel hunts, and although some crime scenes allow you to shift the perspective in order to comb for more clues I typically found myself just absentmindedly tapping on anything and everything in each location until I’d gathered up the requisite amount of evidence in order to trigger the next trial sequence. After the smart addition of puzzles to sustain interest between trials in 2. Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright crossover, this general lack of active forensic analysis gameplay feels like a step backwards. Still, the series has always lived or died mostly on the strength of its over- the- top characters and hilariously silly courtroom exchanges, and for the most part Spirit of Justice gets these elements right. I particularly love the metalhead monk who punctuates each line of testimony by shredding a guitar in front of a wall of amps behind the witness stand, and the slurring soba noodle chef who’s anything but sober. Both the in- game character animations and the occasional anime cutscenes are uniformly excellent, and like Dual Destinies before it, Spirit of Justice is one of the rare 3. DS games that I actually activate the system’s stereoscopic 3. D for - the hand- drawn 2. D characters really pop with 3. D mode enabled. The Verdict. There’s enough snappy dialogue and silliness in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice to satisfy long- term series fans, and the conventional courtroom sequences still feel rewarding when you get on a roll and a witness starts to unravel. But the heavy- handed mysticism of its bloated middle act and the general lack of innovation makes for a less than essential entry in the Phoenix Wright saga on the whole.
