Moved over from GG because better organization features. I have played, as well as am constantly actively playing, way too many games on and off to possibly keep full track of what all I've played... But I'll try to keep this updated often

ngl this game disappointed me a little, i don't care for the character design direction much for the original characters only really the main villains i find interesting (and especially honestly fuck that little bastard prince beansly or whatever his name is if i saw that damn thing in my living room i'd stomp it till it were a small green stain)
gameplay gets repetitive in a lot of areas and while clearly the gimmick of adding timed button presses to go with animations for bonus damage is supposed to make the mario rpg franchise as a whole more appealing than regular turn based combat i feel like it's kind of counter-intuitive here only making battles drag on for longer than they feel like they should at times. and the final boss and ending suck lol
but its ok i didnt hate it or anything and i might give it another go at some point but with the gba version. i hope the other m&l games are better i'm sort of intending on doing a mario rpg spree so we'll see what happens

Gets three stars almost exclusively for the good moments but I was soo close to just giving it 2.5.
I started playing this game a while back but dropped it because the final case just was where the game reached a level of boring that I just decided I wanted to skip it. I've had a recent resurgence in my interest in Ace Attorney so I decided to pick back up with actually going back and beating this game. But really, This playthrough only further validated my feelings I had about the game already. It's just weak, and has probably the worst final case in the entire series that just stretches on and on and on and isn't even very interesting.
Best part of the game is definitely the flashback case, Turnabout Reminiscence... With no contest. It gives such a great glimpse of perspective into Edgeworth's time working under Manfred von Karma that it bumps this game's worth up singlehandedly. We see how other lawyers never really took him seriously, and how he hardly even recognizes the blatant verbal abuse he faces by the von Karmas. That combined with the relationship between Kay and Gumshoe which absolutely warms my heart and makes me giddy for him makes it probably just in general one of the most hype cases in the series. Unfortunately, however, that doesn't quite save the game itself from being overall quite mediocre and boring.

I feel similar to how I did with 5, maybe I think this one's even a little worse. It's still a fine game as part of the series but just if I had to rank them this would probably be one of my least favorites if not my least favorite. Pretty much all of the abilities just feel like ones from previous games slightly tweaked. (At least the Jet and Power suits are pretty cool additions.)
