It's out, I bought it the day it came out, and I just finished it up today.

The stories and games that Shu Takumi crafts are perfect. This is no exception. He covers everything and intertwines so many different variables perfectly without plot-holes, and it shines in Ghost Trick greater than it ever did in Phoenix Wright. The gameplay is linear, but you're here for the story, pretty graphics and great musical score. The Phoenix Wright series never had much in the way of gameplay, Ghost Trick at least makes the environment interactive. Length-wise the game took me around 15 hours or so. There were plenty of times where I was stumped until I had a "Eureka!" moment, which was always satisfying. The game proved finishable without any use of a walkthrough, thankfully (Hello Phoenix Wright).

There was great care taken here, even with the translation. I only spotted one grammar issue (An I'll instead of an I'm which lead to a silly sounding sentence), and despite all of the crazy time traveling going on the text was always clear enough to make everything understandable in the end.

Rating: Highly recommended. $30, and absolutely worth it.

Shu Takumi is a great writer, even more so when he is not bound to a courtroom. This is a great game.

... Also, I can't believe ending. It's amazing.

Don't spoil yourself on this game anyone, play it when you can!

Darkkitten says so, Mrew!

After looking at it at work a few days ago, i decided to go ahead and pick it up because I had 4 hours of nothing to do to kill. Strangely, I am having trouble putting this one back down. very good story so far.

Finished it today. Overall, great story, characters, writing, and localization. Some of the puzzles seemed rather unintuitive, but all were doable without a guide. Others, though, made me "AH-HA!" inwardly when I suddenly realized how it would all work.

My only disappointment was that I didn't notice as much humor as the Ace Attorney games, but oh well.
