Story
Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth takes the Ace Attorney series from the courtroom to the crime scene, leaving the legal battle behind. This time around, players take on the role of famed prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, a memorable rival of charismatic legal eagle Phoenix Wright. Edgeworth actively investigates crime scenes in search of the truth behind each case. By solving the challenging puzzles presented to him, Edgeworth will work with the police to bring criminals to justice.

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth is composed of a number of episodes. In the first episode, an argument in Edgeworth's office results in a mysterious murder. Edgeworth, coming back from a one-month business trip, enters his office and encounters the body of the man who was shot. In the second episode, Edgeworth's plane journey takes a nasty turn when he wakes up after being knocked out during heavy turbulence. Shaken by the flashback of nightmarish past memories, he opens the onboard elevator's door to find a male corpse. At this very moment a cabin attendant witnesses the scene and Edgeworth is made a suspect of murder.

Gameplay
Like Capcom's Phoenix Wright games, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth is designed around the point-and-click game mechanic, with the player taking on a series of cases placed before them. Playing as Miles Edgeworth, players get to the bottom of cases by collecting information and evidence through detective work between key locations. These locations must be physically explored, with players given the choice of either the DS stylus or the D-pad to to facilitate movement, and collect clues. Within the game's 'Logic' mode, which symbolizes Edgeworth's logical inferences, users can discover new information and evidence by combining clues discovered in the action portion of the game. Eventually, with the discovery of the right clues the real culprit will be revealed through these investigations and the confrontation of witnesses to expose contradictions in a 'battle' mechanism (Testimony - Pursuit - Press - Confront), which is similar to that of the 'Court Battle' in the Ace Attorney series (Testimony - Cross Examination).

5 out of 5 stars No objections here!   July 29, 2010
A. Pfeiffer (Whitewater, WI)
Enter Edgeworth, feared prosecutor in the Ace Attorney universe. Using his ways of logic and deduction, he must figure out the true culprit in each of five thrilling cases that are standard Ace Attorney fare. Though you never get a courtroom sequence, these cases all focus on the investigation and rubbing contradictions in witnesses' faces, much like the Ace Attorney fan is accustomed to. It's still quite fun and any fan of the series will clearly enjoy what this installment has to offer, which now includes multiple sprites on the screen at the same time, 3D movement, plenty more to explore and, of course, many gaffes to point out. If you liked the Phoenix Wright games, you probably already have this one. But if you don't have it, then you should.


5 out of 5 stars A pleasant substitute for Phoenix Wright!   June 20, 2010
Timothy H. Rogers
I played this game and by the time I was finished I was hoping for a sequel!

Music:The music was extremely well done, and was very catchy. 10/10

Graphics: Graphics were done very well as well-better than most of the other ace attorney games! 9/10

Length: The game was long enough to last me my entire 5-day vacation, and the 5 days before it! All 5 cases were long, but certainly not too long to get boring. 9/10

Plot: I personally loved the story line. Even without Phoenix as the main character, Edgeworth was a welcome substitute. All of the characters were very entertaining.


Overall: Sequel. NOW. This game was great! If they have the same quality music and graphics as they did in this one, I would gladly buy it on its release date! 9.5/10


Closing comments: Even if you have never played the other phoenix Wright games, this game will still make sense to you. It makes some references to Phoenix, but never actually says his name aloud. Describes him as 'the guy in the blue suit' and 'him'. Really descriptive, huh? Anyways, this game is definetly a worthwhile investment. So what are you waiting for? Go out and buy it!



3 out of 5 stars Not a typical Phoenix game   June 6, 2010
Gvaz The First (USA)
Phoenix doesn't even show up for this game. It's really all Edgeworth.

Edgeworth is a capable investigator, but this game is really boring.

There are no events in the courtroom, instead the courtroom segements are during the investigations, and you explore around and investigate specific points, instead of just a background or people.

Sorta like a isometric myst, I guess.

The characters this time around are really boring unfortunately though. I have to force myself to finish this, unlike with the other four games.



5 out of 5 stars Ace is tops Again   May 4, 2010
Robert R. Musser
Bought this game for my wife as she loves the Ace Attorney series of games. She was not disappointed with the new game. You will enjoy this great game and for newbies try all the
Ace games.



4 out of 5 stars Great Ace Attorney game with some fun new gameplay mechanics.   April 18, 2010
Matthew Welch (Knoxville, TN USA)
Not much else to say other than what's in the title. If you like Ace Attorney games there's no reason not to like this one, and if you felt the series was getting stale there are enough changes to make you very happy indeed. The story turns out to be quite great in the end as well, so play through the whole thing and you'll get hours of fun and enjoyment.
