Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Review | GameRevolution

GR: Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney may seem like wild, out-of-the-box horseplay, but Capcom is a publisher known for crossover hybrids with other properties like Street Fighter X Tekken, Project X Zone, Marvel vs. Capcom, and Capcom vs. SNK. Not only is it encouraging to find a developer that's so willing to collaborate with others, but it's a calculated, concerted marketing effort to reach gaming audiences of different brands. While Capcom and Level-5 don't have prior experience combining two puzzle-based franchises together, and the entire concept seems downright ridiculous on paper, the blend is surprisingly cohesive and agreeably straddles the line between logic-intensive riddles and comic relief.
