![]() ![]() Ace Attorney comes out with a game that in many ways improves upon both formulas. "Reservations aside, Professor Layton vs. It also has Layton and Wright performing synchronized pointing, and it's almost worth the objections just for that." Shacknews - 8/10 However, the ultimate result is two series' with enjoyable characters and a penchant for madness coming together, and a crossover that doesn't take risks with tried-and-tested play. It's an entirely safe crossover that doesn't merge two gameplay styles as deeply as it could, and it's a shame to miss on that potential. Phoenix Wright drags on too long, but even towards the end it's enjoyable at its basest of levels. "A bad ending doesn't have to ruin a game, though, even (or perhaps especially) if the story wasn't all that strong to begin with. Wright, without hesitation." Joystiq - 3.5/5 If you like both nonviolent handheld heroes, 'Take That' copy of Layton vs. The compelling storyline and animation make up for dialogue that might linger a little too long and puzzles that might speed by a little too quickly. The game's high production values add charm and character to the experience. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is an extremely satisfying pairing-if not actually a blend-of the puzzle solving and courtroom twists from the two series. The witty dialogue writing, however, is as charming and enjoyable as ever." GamesBeat - 85/100 It sacrifices some of both series' challenge, and the alternate-universe story feels like a missed opportunity where there could have been more meaningful interaction between the worlds of Wright and Layton. "This unique crossover is a powerful draw for fans of either series, but it doesn't make the most of its potential. Phoenix Wright is the kind of game you can pop into for 5-10 minutes to make yourself feel smarter." IGN - 7.8/10 It's good to have a bit of change from the deadly serious or overly involved games I usually play outside of the lengthy Witch Trials, Professor Layton vs. "Personally, I enjoyed the light romp through Layton and Wright's magical adventure. It's Phoenix, however, in his element in this magical world, that well and truly steals the show." USGamer - 4/5 What is here is big, it's often silly, and it's sometimes unwieldy, but it's rarely anything less than engaging thanks to some great execution on tried-and-tested ideas. But that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. Phoenix Wright is a long game-at least as long as a Professor Layton game and a Phoenix Wright game combined-and relatively little of it is genuine crossover.

Even so, the reception has been generally positive, and it's good to see the game released here after such a long wait. It consists of separate sections that each play similarly to games in the two series unfortunately, the consensus seems to be that it doesn't totally capitalize on the crossover potential.
