While the fourth entry in the series was being developed this time for the Nintendo DS, Capcom released a DS remake of the final game of the original trilogy. Let's take a look:
The Story:
The story takes place a year after the previous game, and it doesn't disappoint. Aside from cases 2 and 3, which despite their quality, are there mostly for filler purposes, there's a main plot that goes through the entirety of the game and involves a lot of what happened in the past of our main characters. It all builds into an absolutely brilliant final case that is full of twists and turns and serves as a fantastic way of ending the trilogy. Aside from the already expected leaps away from logic during cases the writing is phenomenal and keeps you engaged.
9/10
The Gameplay:
The gameplay is the exact same as the previous game, no differences at all, which works, since it's not really a focus.
6/10
The Music:
The music this time was composed by Noriyuki Iwadare, and succeeds at maintaining the level of quality from the previous games, doing a great job enhancing the story experience.
8/10
The Graphics:
Once again we have 2D backgrounds and sprite animations that create an anime look.
Character design is as always creative, comical and varied.
10/10
Overall, it's the best game in the original trilogy that serves as a great example of why this series is so beloved.
Final Grade: 9/10
