They did a good job combining the art styles from Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright when they were creating characters. I don’t know if all of Phoenix Wright’s cases have a hint system, but if they’re as confusing as the Labyrinthian ones, I think Capcom might want to put some thought into adding one.Ĩ. You can use Professor Layton Hint Coins in Witch Court! Yay! Woohoo! Alright! Trust me, if you get as confused as I tended to in court, you’ll be cheering too. Witch Court just has a little more that needs to be talked about.ħ. And don’t let the fact that I keep mentioning Witch Court fool you, I like the puzzles a lot. Some have said that the puzzles and over all the entire game wasn’t the most challenging of the Professor Layton series, but for someone new to both series, I found it to be just hard enough.
Because most of the puzzles were both tied to the scenario, and all fairly different from another, the game-play hardly felt repetitive at all. Witch court might have felt long at times, but I still enjoyed playing through and getting my chance at revealing the truth.Ħ. Just when it seemed like things were about to slow down and stop spinning, someone would jump down from the balcony or butt in while I was pressing someone else, and the room would start spinning all over again. Of course, that isn’t always a bad thing. It would take a long time just to simply get through one cross examination, simply because I would have no idea whether to press, present, or listen. I struggled a lot with most of my trials because there were a lot of surprises, a lot of evidence, and a lot of testimonies to sift through. Every time I had thought I’d figured something out, something new would pop up and throw a kink in my idea. I thought that I had figured out the game’s ending long before I got there, but as it turns out, I was pretty wrong. I’m one of those people who likes to try and solve the mystery before the characters do, and that was no exception with this game. The surprises were all very, very well hidden. There isn’t one example I can think of right now where two parts of the story felt like they contradicted one another. Heck, just the fact that there are witches living among the townsfolk is example enough to think that!ģ. These characters all feel alive, and hardly anyone is completely who they say they are. The witch court brought out peoples opinions of one another and their personalities, and looking for puzzles around town allowed me to watch them and get to know them. I don’t think I could name more than four characters who seemed to be one-dimensional. Even during some of the drier times in the witch court part of the game, I still found myself always wanting to know what piece of evidence would become relevant next, or who’s testimony would make or break the case.Ģ. From the very minute when you see Cameron Accidenti’s headlights in the first cut scene, you constantly want to know what’s going to happen next. Please, readers, do consider yourselves warned.
