Ohhh, it was the victim's passport. I thought it was Larry's, that she was using it to keep track of his time to speak to him.

Yeah, that's a nice first case. And an innocent verdict, finding the killer, having a toupee thrown at you, and seeing the killer froth at the mouth like he just took TV cyanide - if that's where the escalation starts, then I'm definitely eager for more. Just how deep is this rabbit hole?
This case is the simplest, tamest case in the entire series, and I mean that in every way.

It's kind of the best. :getin:

Yeah, this is unfortunate. The series as a whole is fantastic and nearly every single case has amazing twists at the end, but this case is simply ended with a flat out Mia ex machina. It's that it's such an exception that makes it really bug me, but it also means that the resolutions to other cases are thankfully superb.

Love this case. It plays with so many assumptions. :allears:

A few typos:

quote:

[img]http://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png[/omg]: Very well. Mr. Edgeworth, your opening statement, please.
: An unexpected fact has come to the attention of the court. Yesterday, we learned that there were other people present at the studios! Today, I would like to show evidence proving they had nothing to do with the murder.
The Judge_Angry tag's off a few times, and that should be Edgeworth.

quote:

: (ROFS? Rollong on the Floor... Starving?)
Should be rolling.

: (Huh...!?)
: Think!

: She would have had to know about the murder before going to Studio One!







: Order! Order!
: Mr. Edgeworth!

: What you have just said... is a reasonable observation.
: However, I find it hard to understand why the prosecution would make such a move! Or are you thinking of a career change to defense!?

This is another one of those moments I just love. He's just been utterly defeated, every single thing has come back to bite him all at once, and...he's still a dominating rear end in a top hat presence in the court.

That case went on like 3 times longer than it needed to.

Like, the back part of it was pretty good, but I really can't call it a good case. Just too much stuff.
This echoes my thoughts pretty succinctly. Personally I feel that for a first time playthrough, it's better for people to play through 1-4, then go on to the next game and only play Rise from the Ashes after finishing the next game or two.
