I think it's fair to call both games comedy games, in the way that they're intentionally funny.īut to me, comedy games aren't equal. Something coming from the same developer doesn't guarantee you'll like it.

After all, people were absolutely confident I, an Ace Attorney fan, would like Ghost Trick, and this idea had to go beyond the fact they were both made by the same person. Ghost Trick got me thinking about the commonalities between Shu Takumi's games. This isn't even the most ridiculous thing that happens in this game by far. It's too risky to say anything else about Ghost Trick without spoiling it for you, but if you're not intrigued at the prospect of, and I have to repeat myself, turning back time to undo a death as a bicycle, I don't know what to tell you. In order to do so you can possess different items: early on I'm possessing a bicycle to guide it along a powerline by its handles. Just seconds after this shocking discovery, he meets a desk lamp who tells him to save a young woman from certain death at the hands of an assassin, after she's already died. Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective tells the story of Sissel, who wakes up in a junkyard only to find he's dead, made evident by his body lying in the dirt before him, arse up (a scene which made for the game's fantastic cover art). By nature that's bound to make me suspicious, but when I finally got around to playing Ghost Trick on a borrowed 3DS, I was entranced.

Ghost Trick, my friends would say, isn't just a good game or a great game, it's one of the best. This prompted people to tell me about Ghost Trick, designed and written by Ace Attorney creator Shu Takumi. I wasted no time getting my hands on the other games, and it has become my favourite gaming series very quickly.

I'm a known Ace Attorney fan since I played the trilogy collection in 2019. I recently wrote about coming to the 3DS ten years late, and how much I love it now, but the decision to pick it up in the first place was motivated by my desire to play a single game.
