Japanator: "To be honest, I wasn't expecting a whole lot from Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney. Crossover games have always left me feeling cold, and I didn't have any reason to believe this would be any different. I'm always happy to be proven wrong though, and that's exactly what Shu Takumi and the teams at Capcom Level-5 have done. It may not be best in class for either franchise, but Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney serves as a strong reminder as to why people fell in love with these series in the first place."
Cultured Vultures: Do you object to any of our rankings for the best and worst Ace Attorney games? We'll see you in court, pal.
One of the hardest game series to rank, every game has a special charm that made it great.
With the release of the sixth main Ace Attorney game in the U.S., how do all of the titles from the series stack up against each other?
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. Newcomers to either series are granted all of the same needed information as if they were playing one of the separate titles. Once the characters meet, Professor Layton VS Phoenix Wright manages to keep a steady rhythm changing between the different series’ formats and slowly blending the games’ elements in subtle, occasionally slightly forced, ways."
