No idea why none of you have made a first play for this yet so here it is. I have only just made it through the first case so early days yet but, so far, I'm loving it. It looks gorgeous and I can't think of a better example where 2D drawings have been converted to 3D models while retaining all the charm. It's so rare but the character models and animations are so much fun and have everything the old 2D characters did. So I'm really happy with the look.
The music is orchestral and sounds lovely, although nothing in the first case quite has the punch I remember from the others but often they build later in the game. So far it's good musically though.
The game itself is same old Phoenix Wright. Poke holes in the testimonies. This time the added feature comes from new character Athena Cykes, who can hear (heartbeat) when someone has an emotion that doesn't quite match their words. They don't really give you much of a taste of that in the first case so not sure how good or not that will be. And no investigation in the first case either - I have heard that the investigations are more limits this time around. The characters are strong so far and it's great bringing Apollo Justice into this as it sort of ties the older games together (yes I know they were tied together anyway but they do it well here). Nice little anime cut scenes too.
Dialogue so far is good and better than my memory of the poorer earlier translations (AA2) but not quite as fun and snappy as my memory of the better translations (was it 1 or 3 that was written really well? Can't quite remember). My memory is rusty though.
So far, loving this. I hope it does well so we see more. Whatever happened the Layton crossover? Is that not ever going to make it over here?

Everything is improved, characters and backgrounds use 3D models instead of sprites, which really makes the game come alive. Sound and music are great too, although I still prefer the music of PW1 and 3 the most.
I really enjoyed that they kept the charm of the sprites of the old games while using the newer 3D models. Definitely get this if you haven't already!
