    he might be referring to its more orchestrated nature instead of good old electronic beeps and blips

    i'm on the fence about it really. Also trials and tribulation really ramps up for the finale. I thought Circus was JFA?

    I don't mind the change to orchestral in theory. My problem is this example is entirely too slow in tempo, missing all of the sense of urgency and excitement that is (or used to be) inherent to the music in these games. And the fact that it is just too low in volume and is completely drowned out by the "voices".

    Eh, I loved the music in the demo. The Cornered theme was great and I got chills when the main theme played at the start.

    Also, the 3D looks pretty good. They even added it to the intro movie.

    I finally finished my replay of the original three games. There is apparently something wrong with my memory, because I wasn't convinced that I had ever finished all three games until I wrapped up the final case in Trials and Tribulations. Turns out, I did finish all those games! They are great.

    So now I've picked up Apollo Justice, which I can guarantee with 100% certainty that I have not played before. I get the impression that its not everybody's favorite, but having finished Case 1, I'm really loving it so far. Having it finally jump to an actual DS game instead of a GBA port was immediately noticeable, and I'm super intrigued by what is going on here with Phoenix and the mysteries of what happened 7 years ago and just how did he get that hat and sweatshirt. Can't wait to be all caught up so I can snag Dual Destinies at launch.

    Also, Phoenix sure loves his "grape juice".

  • GSMGSM Registered User regular
    The weird thing I remember reading is that it was grape juice in the original language as well.

    I am finally buying a 3DS the day Dual Destinies comes out, just to make it clear that this game sells systems.

    We'll get back there someday.

    The first case in AJ was really good.

    You'll probably change your.....heh, tune....during the third case.

    Oh god, that song.

    So does anyone know if Phoenix was, er, more obviously alcoholic in the Japanese version of Apollo Justice?

    He replaced the label on his "grape juice" with a label for mineral water, so that he could sneak it in somewhere he wasn't supposed to have it, and hide it from somebody who wouldn't approve of his "grape juice" drinking habit.

    I think it took me well over a year just to actually sit down and finish case 3 of Apollo Justice.
    And I still thought that video was shown too often.

    Been wondering that as well. I guess either midnight or when the eShop normally updates in the afternoon.

    Burned through all of Apollo Justice case 3 yesterday. I thought it started a bit slow, but the final trial day was really well paced and exciting. My opinion of it might be colored by the fact that my attorney brain was just completely on fire at the end, and I seemed to be hitting every revelation right on beat without ever having to bluff.

    I was also not nearly as bothered by "the song" as I expected to be, though they did keep going back to it a little too often at the very end there.

    I'm not sure I can finish case 4 tonight, but I'm hoping to be ready for the new game by Friday at least.

    I've been watching a translated playthrough of Investigations 2 on YouTube. I'm still early in case 2. Case 1 was much more interesting than most first cases usually are, and case 2 already has some interesting twists.
    Edgeworth breaks some rules to solve the first case, which gets him in legal hot water during the second case.

    It's a shame we never got this game, because it's great so far.

    Honestly I'm also going with the precedent, but if I'm up at midnight and the game is as well....

    Now if they mean 3am Eastern (Midnight Pacific) then I'll probably be asleep. Though if I do get up for any reason I'll probably check!

    The review embargo ends at 3am pacific (aka two hours from this post, 3 am eastern time) so the game MIGHT be up then.

    More likely it comes up 11 hours from now, 9am pacific, noon eastern.

    Anyone wanna guess which site gave the game the lowest score?

    If you guessed IGN, you get a complimentary pat on the back.

    Complaints include "not enough gameplay" and "too linear".

    Yes.
