Will this “come back” of Miles Edgeworth be enough to attract fans?

Let's learn about the game with MarkGame through the following review, everyone!

YOU WILL LIKE

A smooth experience in many respects!

Come to Ace Attorney Investigations Collectionthe strongest impression for the writer is that the image and sound quality are all remade to suit current games, not simply “replicating” the games with graphics and sound platforms. The original is somewhat blurred on modern systems as it was done with Mega Man Legacy Collection.

First appearing on the Nintendo DS in 2009, the game Investigations: Miles Edgeworth only works with a resolution of 256×192, with a very unique interface of this system.

That's why when uploading to modern gaming systems, Capcom's game making team had to redo the entire graphics and game interface to suit the controller or mouse control method on the consoles. modern machine system.

The overall image quality is extremely good, without graininess even if you play on screens with resolutions up to 4K.

One thing that is quite unique is that if you are “nostalgic”, both games in Ace Attorney Investigations Collection all allow you to convert graphics to pixelate format, although a bit “clunky”, but familiar and easily pleasing to longtime fans of the game series.

The sound has also been refreshed with higher sound resolution, providing vibrant background music that creates an atmosphere for long, even somewhat boring conversations often found in games. Ace Attorney.

The gameplay remains unchanged compared to the original version on the Nintendo DS.

You will play the role of a prosecutor Miles Edgeworth Early in his career as an investigator, he searched for evidence and interviewed the parties to find out the truth of the case, not the “final boss” role as shown in the first three parts of the series. game Ace Attorney.

That means the game will not have too many arguments in court as usual in the series, but focuses on solving crimes like a detective game.

Right from the beginning of the game Investigations: Miles Edgeworthwho are familiar with the litigation-oriented parts of the game Ace Attorney You will feel somewhat confused with the play style of freely moving and looking for clues.

What the player needs to do is use logic to string these clues together to form the details of the case.

This way of playing is very different from being “pressured” in court and groping for clues in the sometimes somewhat random way of other series games. Ace Attorney Otherwise, it requires more initiative from the player.

What “pleases” Ace Attorney fans the most is the collection Ace Attorney Investigations Collection owns both prosecutor games Miles Edgeworth.

In it, the second part with the name Investigations 2: Prosecutor's Gambit is a completely new game for the majority of gamers, because this is a version only released in the Japanese market and has no plans to release to the world when the Nintendo DS system has reached the end of its life cycle. me.

Actually the experience, if compared to the first part Investigations: Miles Edgeworth Still somewhat “inexperienced” when completely changing the gameplay and narrative, the second part of the game series is much more worth playing.

One of the notable “spices” of this game is the completely new “Mind Chess” mechanism presented in the form of a chessboard, helping Miles Edgeworth Confront both “stubborn” suspects and witnesses who like to “talk” about what happened, thereby creating the tense atmosphere necessary for a detective game, creating a conclusion. Necessary connection connects the two investigation and prosecution parts together, instead of leaving them separate like in the first game.

Although this mechanism still causes a lot of debate in the gaming community that loves the game series Ace AttorneyHowever, for the writer, it is thanks to this element combined perfectly with the active gameplay based on logical reasoning that the game has its own identity, separate from the rest of the games that focus on The topic of litigation in court with tricky confrontations.

This remade version also puts a round mark on “heritage”. Ace Attorney of Capcom completely “landed” on the PC system, with a completely new graphics platform and easily accessible to all gamers.

In general, in addition to the significantly improved image and sound quality in accordance with the standards of modern games, providing “exclusive” content only for the Japanese market is a plus point for the Japanese market. Ace Attorney Investigations Collection For fans of the game series.

YOU WILL HATE

The overall quality is just decent in the original version!

From the perspective of “nostalgia”. Ace Attorney Investigations Collection is an extremely attractive choice for gamers, but honestly, looking back, both games in this collection are only of quite good quality.

Most visible is the head Investigations: Miles Edgeworththe game team had to struggle to find a unique style for the game, but still had to preserve familiar elements to please the “hardcore fans” of the game series. Ace Attorney then.

You will encounter a few familiar characters that have appeared in some games Ace Attorney before, but this is really not necessary for the script, especially when the appearance of these characters is mostly in the style of… “cameo”.

Not to mention the plot is not really tight, does not have the usual “bends” of the script in the game series. Ace Attorneywith extremely harsh “bending” by witnesses, forcing you into a corner in court proceedings.

Perhaps this is also the reason why Capcom did not continue to develop this “Spin off” game (side story) further.
