With it all behind me, I hate to say it but I feel like this crossover was a missed opportunity.", writes Wired.

From the review, "Professor Layton VS Phoenix Wright manages to work these formats into one experience rather effectively. The game begins with a typical Professor Layton tutorial segment that sets up the main story, and chapter two is likewise a typical Ace Attorney introductory trial scene.
