I had a blast with The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. Despite taking place in a new setting with a new cast of characters, it feels right at home with the rest of the titles in the Ace Attorney franchise when it comes to overall enjoyment and writing. I really enjoyed the flow of the cases presented across these 2 games. Wherever you choose to play it, you’ll undoubtedly have a great time with Ryonosuke and the new gang.

A deliberately slow, and sometimes frustratingly patient, start aside, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles revamps the Ace Attorney formula by injecting it with a take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Great Detective stories that is recognizable, and yet oh-so-perfect for this series in how it changes it. If the Phoenix Wright games have lost a little of their luster for you, then this double header Victorian-era spinoff may well be worth investigating.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is a double spin-off for the capcom and shu takumi series. Plots, intrigues, murders, fights at the last counter-interrogation and lots, a lot of fun, thanks to extraordinary characters, written to never be static, constantly evolving, ready to always reveal a new facet of personality.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles brings together two volumes of one magnificent story that no Ace Attorney fan should miss. The characters are fantastically kooky, the plot is as compelling as ever, and the writing is the series at its funniest. While there are some minor pacing issues with some of the cases, it's a fantastic package for fans both new and old.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is a good collection of two games in the series that visit the distant past of an ancestor of Phoenix Wright. That said, many parallels to the original games are created – which can be seen as a good or bad thing depending on your point of view. Regardless, the cases themselves remain intriguing and entertaining. The only problem is that they are 3DS remasters and, consequently, the graphics aren't so good.

Are you ready for evidence-gathering and two very long cases? Amusing, but sometimes too slow.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is a title that could have been outstanding if some of the new mechanics had been given one more spin and the start of the game sped up a bit. In short, a fabulous game with some wery small weak points.

Doing prequels for any well-established series is always very tricky but The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles manages to not only be very true to the franchise’s spirit prequel but also stand on its own as an exciting mystery adventure/visual novel videogame.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is more of what you love, but with a different coat of paint. If you aren’t a fan of the franchise, or visual novels in general, I doubt this collection will be able to change your mind in any way. But if you’re a series veteran, you’ll be in for one hell of a ride. It’s the best looking title in the franchise so far, and it features some of the most memorable (and ridiculous) cases and characters Capcom has ever managed to come up with for the series.

Overall I can say there definitely isn’t any OBJECTION to the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. The characters are endearing, the cases are interesting and pretty well formed, the music is great, and the 2D backgrounds and 3D characters provide a wealth of visual satisfaction. While the text speed may be a little slow for some, there were no real inherent issues to the game that I could find. The Ace Attorney series may be rather niche, but it’s also one that’s easily enjoyable.

After half a decade of without Ace Attorney games, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles not only quenches the thirst for a quality adventure in the courtroom, but also gives us a fresh look at the serie's potential, by introducing a charismatic new cast, unprecedented mechanics and a cultural paradigm. Both longtime fans and newcomers to the series will love this great and complete package.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is a little breath of fresh air with some new features in terms of gameplay, but also with the addition of doubled cinematics. It is not, however, perfect with the absence of a French subtitle and with several lines of superfluous dialogue.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles presented a mixture of interesting cases that take place in the late 19th century in Japan and the United Kingdom Britain. The dialogues of the characters, cases, and even the game's costumes were beautiful, even with limited choices in the course of the investigation or even in the courtroom, but Overall it was, it was fun and had unique characters.
