After the commercial and critical sucess of the first game's remake, it only made sense to remake the next one, even though it's regarded as the worst in the series. Let's take a look:
The Story:
The game takes place a year after the first game, with all characters making a return, but there are also some brand new ones. For the most part, the new cases and characters are great, but of course the third one has to be addressed. It is still regarded as the worst case in the entire series. The writing, while witty, is very bad when it comes to the actual story progression and the logic of proving the points.
Fortunately, the final case that follows immediately after is phenomenal and more than makes up for it.
Overall, while flawed, the script is still good enough to be up to the series standards.
7/10
The Gameplay:
The game uses the exact same engine as the previous game, and this time there was no attempt at using the DS's capabilities, except for using the mic to object or press. It's the exact same gameplay as the first game, since after all, if it ain't broken, don't fix it.
6/10
The Music:
The music was composed Akemi Kimura, and is pretty much on par with the previous soundtrack.
It always manages to enhance everything you experience.
8/10
The Graphics:
Just like the first game, we have 2D sprite animations and backgrounds that give an animated movie feel. Character design is also on par with the first game.
10/10
Overall, Justice for All is a flawed but still very good game that any fan of this style of game should play.
Final Grade: 7.5/10
See you next review ;)
