Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney
SCORE: 60
Video game crossovers can be some of the most complex things to try
and pull off. Why? Each franchise has its own look and feel. Professor
Layton vs Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney works diligently to weave gamers
through a story that uses both franchises. There are some things in this
3DS game that are expected and some that were very surprising.
Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney deals with a girl being
chased by witches. Families need to be aware of the supernatural nature
of this hand held video game. There are also some pokes at Christians in
Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney in regards to witch
trials.
At first I thought it was fantastic that there are two different
gameplay styles in Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney. If I
got tired of the puzzles of Professor Layton, then I only had to
persevere until the game brought me to a Phoenix Wright area. I
discovered something about myself while playing Professor Layton vs
Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney. I don't like how Phoenix Wright plays. I
can tolerate Professor Layton to a point.
Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney has violence, blood,
enticement to lust, and bad attitudes. The Phoenix Wright portions of
this Nintendo 3DS/Nintendo 2DS game really bring it down. Professor
Layton vs Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney earns its thirteen and older only
ESRB rating.
If you are trying to decide between a physical copy and a download copy
of Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney, let me share an
important piece of information. Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright Ace
Attorney is over eleven thousand blocks in terms of memory. If you do
not have enough room on your SD card you will want to go with a physical
copy.
Fighting game crossovers have worked for years. I am not sold on
Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney though. The game play
styles are just too different.The Phoenix Wright portions used up my
hints, and they were not always useful in exposing the contradictions.
In my opinion Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney is only
for gamers who really love both franchises. If you like just one, then
you are going to be annoyed by the other one. If you are not a fan of
either, then definitely pass on Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright Ace
Attorney. Finally if all of the content issues bother you, then you also
need to pass on Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney.
