Get Your Hands On Miles Edgeworth!
Capcom wanted me to let you know that a demo for the upcoming Nintendo DS title Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth is available for dowload starting today! Just direct your Wii over ot the Nintendo Channel or take your DS to download station at a participating retailer to get a sneak peek at the game, due out on February 16. Naturally, I couldn't resist giving it a sample myself.
The game plays out just like the other Ace Attorney games, even if it plays a little differently. You get your little scene of the crime occurring, and then Miles starts his investigation. The delightful banter between Edgeworth and Gumshoe is still as awesome as ever. And let's just say that the ambiguous sexuality expands onto the other characters, like the other prosecutor who may just be a cold blooded killer.
You use the D-pad to move around the scene, and the A button to examine items or talk to other characters. Gumshoe follows you around like a lovesick puppy dog in case you need to get some "professional" investigative advice. After finding pieces of evidence, you use the "Logic" system to connect pieces of information to draw a new conclusion and advance the story. There's a little life bard during these segments, so presumably if you make the wrong connections, you'll lose life. You also find and point out contradictions, although hilariously, Edgeworth doesn't want to call them that, since it reminds him of... that other guy.
The demo is really only the first scene of the first case, but it gives you a decent glimpse of how the game will play, and reassures you that the graphics, sound and writing are still up to snuff and makes Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth a worthy addition to the series. Just don't dilly dally, because according to the Nintendo Channel, the demo is only available until February 7.
