lik-sang just emailed to let me know it has been dispatched, despite emailing the day before to say it was out of stock. Not that I'm complaining. I hope it comes before I have to go back to work.

I was a bit nervous about this game as I thought it might not be my cup of tea, but omg it's awesome. For me it's the gaming equivalent of getting home to find Alicia Silverstone sprawled naked on my sofa, covered in baby oil with a dirty look in her eye.

Heh.

That's a pretty accurate assessment.

Oh god I want this game, but what with AC:WW, Tony Hawk American Sk8land and Nintendogs (still!) I just can't get another DS game!

Bloody hell, I missed this being bumped.

PMAMW, yes you can!

Wish my useless bastard of a friend would hurry up and give it back so I can play through it again

It IS excellent, but I can't the appeal in playing through it again tbh. It's more like an interactive novel than a game imo.

Same here, I love it to bits, but it's not something I see myself playing again within the next, hm, 10 years.

I'd buy a sequel faster than you can say "Hold It!" though.

Have you submitted yours as a reader review?

I got stuck on the Fourth act... I needed to investigate the lake but could only get to the gate and talk to the Detective. It wouldn't let me go any further and although I did investigate the Gate area it didn't give me the option to move on.

I came across something similar in the movie lot to get to studio 2, where I had to investigate the path to actually get the option to go there.

I got so fed up going backwards and forwards making sure I didn't miss anything that I stopped playing and haven't been back to it for about a month and a half.

Yes I have, why?

Slack, stick with it. The 4th case is about to explode into to a wonderful pandemonium showcasing at its best everything the game has presented you with so far, and then some.

The 4th case is the best of the lot, and you owe it to yourself... nay, to Edgeworth! to finish this game.

Yeah I will go back to it. I just spent about 20mins trying to work out how the game would let me investigate the lake, like the characters kept hinting, but it's not listed in the locations and doesn't appear even if I search around the gate. Did anyone else have this problem?

I wanted to get it and AC:WW but lack of funds meant I could only get AC.

Whether or not this was the right decision remains to be seen as it hasn't arrived yet.

I got a US copy abut two weeks ago and played it straight through without even thinking of another game...
That�s a rare trait these days. Fantastic, intelligent and humorous - everyone who hasn�t played it NEEDS TO!
Maybe a DS Lite bundle?

I'm still waiting for mine to turn up from Play - it's been shipped, just hasn't got here yet for some reason.

I think I'm entiled to it!

You want the truth? You can't handel the truth!! You have no idea what it's like to sit on that couch day and night playing those games, some of them are good and allot of them are bad. And I don't need some college educated prick to tell me wich are the good and the bad ones. I'd rather just have that you say thank you for the review and went on your way. Because deep down inside of you in places you don't talk about at parties you know you want me on that couch, you need me on that couch!
Did I slate the game? Hell yes I slated the game, it's my perogative as the games reviewer. Now if you'll exse me I'll go back to my office....hey what are you doing? Let go of me!

Imagine a game....for a handheld system....it's really good....and fun to play.....and now image that game.......is for the DS.....

..but everybody I've told about the game is dead....

To educate the prof.
Imagine Tom Cruise as Barney & Jack Nichelson as the G-man.
Freek's section comes in a little over 3 minutes in.
;-)

edit: went into Gamestation to pick up Odama yesterday. I was parked in a a fairly dodgy spot, so I dashed in, got the game and dashed out.
If I'd have noticed Phoenix was out as well I'd have gotten that too probably.

I laughed so much when I was playing this game I nearly prolapsed.

I still try to pull that phoenix 'doh' face from the courtroom scenes, you know the one I mean!
