[The Truth]

Game being rated: Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies

Graphics: Pretty awesome. This game has the #1 best animation of a man on a segway crashing through a door. 8.5/10

Music: Very good. My favorite themes are the Phantom's theme (don't look this up unless you're willing to risk spoiling his identity) and Simon Blackquill's theme. 9.5/10

Story: Amazing. The story is very well written, and all the characters are interesting. The humor is good as well. 10/10

Gameplay: A bit too much hand-holding, but still enjoyable. I preferred the courtroom scenes to the investigation scenes, but that was just because I love Blackquill. 8/10


Voice-acting: The shouts of "OBJECTION!" "HOLD IT!" and "SILENCE!" are all great. However, the voiceacting in the anime cutscenes is pretty awful (except L'Belle, his voiceactor did a pretty good job.) 3/10


Other: The witness breakdowns are a sight to behold, from a bomb squad detective smashing his head repeatedly into an active bomb, to an astronaut activating his parachute and getting stuck on the ceiling. And the twist at the end was definitely unexpected. Plus, Simon Blackquill is one of the best prosecutors in the series so far, aside from Godot.

DLC: The DLC case is enjoyable and well made. Worth the price. It also has two utterly bizarre (but funny) cutscenes and one of the strangest witness breakdowns ever. Plus you get to cross examine an Orca.

Final score: 9/10
