Objection!

Today, the latest entry in the Ace Attorney series is due out. Brought to us by Capcom, this is the 5th game in the long running series entitled Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth. Released in Japan May of last year, we are getting this quicker than some of the others in the Ace Attorney product line. Fans of this series (including myself) have been waiting a long time for a new game in this fun and quirky series.

This time around as the title implies you play as Phoenix Wright's rival, prosecutor Miles Edgeworth whom is one of everybody's favorite character in the series. He was absent from games 3-5, so it is very nice to see him return and get his own full game. This is also the first time the game will step away from the courtroom and try something different. We will get to see what it is like behind the scene's as a prosecutor finding evidence and witnesses to bring the criminals to justice.

The game takes place before and after Trials & Tribulations, hopefully clearing up the gap of what Edgeworth was doing the entire time. It features some of the same characters we've come to know and love through the series, and introduce new ones as well. This entry also introduces new elements to the gameplay using "logic mode" to piece together the evidence and make a case. This is also the first time the Ace Attorney series has been specifically designed for the DS. It is supposedly around 15 hours long, which is the average length of these games.

I got to pick this up today, am cannot wait to rip into it. All of the Ace Attorney games are extremely fun and have well written stories. Shockingly so sometimes. I remember being surprised multiple times throughout the course of the series. This one should be no exception. I should hopefull have a review out in a week or so, as soon as I finish up with my Bioshock 2 writeup. In the meantime, here is a small trailer for the game.
