It’s also a shame that there are no sections that require you to use the DS’s touch screen like in the first Phoenix Wright game or Apollo Justice. This adds another layer to the investigation, but unfortunately it’s only used about three times in the whole game. More interesting is the “Little Thief,” a gadget that Kay uses recreate crime scenes before the crime actually takes place. It’s neat, but there isn’t a whole lot to it. Firstly there’s the Logic system, where Edgeworth stores various pieces of information in his head and can then link them together to reach logical conclusions. As well as the new viewpoint, Investigations gives Edgeworth a few new tricks to use when examining crime scenes. It doesn’t change a whole lot but it makes the locations seem deeper than just a static background. Rather than viewing locations from a first person perspective as in previous games, Edgeworth is given the freedom to wander around and check things in a third person view. There’s plenty of cameo appearances by old characters as well, but as enjoyable as it is to see Sal Manella, Ema Skye and even Missile the police dog again, there are plenty of characters that have definitely worn out their welcome by now (here’s looking at you, Larry Butz). Rival investigator, Shi-Long Lang is a bit of a jerk, but he’s one of the most entertaining characters in the series, due to his tendency to randomly spout proverbs. ![]() Kay Faraday is a girl claiming to be the Great Thief, Yatagarasu, who uses her unique thief skills to serve as Edgeworth’s quirky sidekick, much like Maya Fey or Trucy Wright. Joining him on his investigation are classic characters like the loyal Detective Gumshoe and the whip-happy Franziska von Karma, as well as a few new faces. Edgeworth is thrust into a massive investigation involving a smuggling ring, a legendary thief and the fragile state of two formerly united countries. What starts out as a relatively straightforward murder case turns into a series of interconnected killings. Investigations is proof that the Ace Attorney series still has plenty of life left in it. ![]() Sure, it blurs the line between detectives and lawyers, but when taking the law into your own hands is this enjoyable, it doesn’t really matter. As well as the change in character, Investigations mixes up the gameplay, putting the focus on investigating crime scenes rather than the usual courtroom antics. The fifth game in the Ace Attorney series puts players in the shoes of tea-sipping prosecutor, Miles Edgeworth.
