logicbuttonAttention everyone! Just this minute I finished playing Ghost Trick, which is a newly-released puzzle/adventure game created by the same dude who came up with Phoenix Wright. Behold, my assessment!
Art style: 7/10.
Not my favorite, but unique!
Music: 5/10.
The credits revealed that the composer is the same person who did the first Phoenix Wright game. Better luck next time, Sugimori Masakazu!
Characters: 7/10.
This is a gift! Until the last quarter or so of the game, I would have given this aspect a 3.
Length: 2/10.
I bought this game on Friday! Come on, Capcom!
Gameplay: 9/10.
I took off a point for the learning curve, but the puzzle style is innovative, and I like the idea of playing as a ghost who travels by possessing and manipulating objects!
Bechdel test: 2/10.
Shape up, Capcom!
Plot: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000/10.
HOLY CRAP! DEAR PROFESSOR LAYTON AND THE UNWOUND FUTURE: THIS IS HOW YOU DO A STORY ABOUT TIME TRAVEL!
In conclusion, I somewhat recommend this game. If puzzle or adventure games are your bag, I can definitely recommend it as a rental. I would not necessarily recommend it as a purchase, but it's not the worst video game investment I've ever made by far. I will be playing it again. If they make a sequel, I'll buy it. And the music did grow on me; it just took a little while. Oh, and the above cuts are non-spoilers for all but the biggest spoilerphobes.
