Title: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Vol. 4
Series: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - 4th volume
Author: Kenji Kuroda
Comments: The volume covers a case with two chapters and then the first part of the next case with another chapter. The first chapter has a murder mystery but with the twist being that the defendant’s mother’s ghost was the murderer. While you are waiting for the kicker to be revealed, it wasn’t overly inventive or clever. The case felt flat overall since it felt so normal compared to the previous cases and there wasn’t a huge turnaround on Phoenix’s part. The next case has the murder on live tv where a contestant in an eating game was poisoned. It follows the predictable formula of Phoenix unwillingly becoming the lawyer to protect the defendant, with little details and on the losing side in the beginning. It can get a bit wordy with too much exposition, which slows down the pacing.
Rating: 6/10
