Ghost Trick (DS)

[Johnny]

This came out last week in the US and EU, anyone else playing it? Shu Takumi, creator of the Phoenix Wright games, was the lead developer and it shows with similar stand-out characters and world.

Gameplay wise it involves possessing objects in order to change the past and save people from their deaths. The animation is absolutely gorgeous too.

Hadn't even heard of it before now, but I'm sort of interested now. Maybe I need to hit up Amazon.com.

I know your an iOS fan so worth pointing out that it's coming to the iDevices soon for $10 or so.

Yup! I played and won it, and wrote up a review which should be up in a week or so. Really enjoyable game, though very different from Wright.

Finished off chapter 10 there, this really is a fantastic game. Such great music and animation and really endearing characters. Any Phoenix Wright fans owe it to themselves to try this out.

Played thru the demo last night, and I totally concur with this. They even use some of the same sound effects from the Phoenix Wright games.

The animation is really cool, and I loved taking control of the cabinet door to send Missile flying across the room!

So yeah, I went out and picked this up today.

Didn't knew it was from the PW creator. Still, it does look awesome. I'll have to pick it up soon before it gets rare...

Up to chapter 5, and I'm completely sucked in. And what's up with Lynne dying like every five minutes? Talk about unlucky.

Ah yes, forgot to update.

Beat the game over this past weekend. Spectacular game! I could not stop playing until it was beaten, that's how much the story completely had me hooked.

Except for one part that seemed to drag a little, the entire game flowed perfectly. There was one plot element that was introduced that may make some people roll their eyes (not me though), but I really enjoyed what Shu Takumi presented here. The best part is that the game ended with the possibility of sequels.

If I were to compare this to the first PW game, they'd pretty much be even. Maya will always be love; but I liked the game mechanics of GT a little more.

Two GOTY candidates in the first month... this year will be brutal on the wallet.
