Ace Attorney: Miles Edgeworth (Nintendo DS)Ace Attorney: Miles Edgeworth takes the Ace Attorney
series from the courtroom to the crime scene, leaving the legal battle
behind while bringing the action to various crime scenes. This time
around, the player takes on the role of famed prosecutor Miles
Edgeworth, a memorable rival of charismatic legal eagle Phoenix Wright.
Edgeworth actively investigates crime scenes in order to pursue the
truth behind each case. By solving the challenging puzzles presented
him, Edgeworth will work with the police to bring criminals to justice.
Users
will be able to directly control the character avatar’s movement on the
scene with the arrow key or touch screen and investigate the crime
scenes freely. If, during the course of an investigation, users find
contradictions, they will be able to obtain new information by
presenting decisive evidence. In some cases, users will identify clues
and conduct examinations of material witnesses. On these occasions,
users will have to uncover the truth behind the crimes using collected
information, the evidence, and logic.
Ace Attorney
Investigations: Miles Edgeworth is composed of several lengthy episodes.
In the first episode, an argument in Edgeworth’s office results in a
mysterious murder. Edgeworth, coming back from a one-month business
trip, enters his office and encounters the body of the man who was shot.
He is then threatened by someone who is presumed to be the suspect with
a gun from behind. In the second episode, Edgeworth wakes up after
being knocked out due to an air pocket accident inside a luxury airliner
flying through turbulence. Shaken by the flashback of nightmarish past
memories, he opens the onboard elevator’s door, only to find a male
corpse. At this very moment a cabin attendant witnesses the scene and
Edgeworth is made a suspect of murder! Miles Edgeworth will have to
confront suspects and get to the bottom of his cases by collecting
information and evidence through detective work between key locations.
Also,
in the “logic” mode that symbolizes Edgeworth’s logical inferences,
users can discover new information and evidence by combining two pieces
of information out of the collected pieces. The real culprit that will
be revealed through investigations and witnesses will be confronted in a
‘battle’ similarly fought (Testimony Pursuit Press Confront) to that of
the ‘Court Battle’ in the Ace Attorney series (Testimony Cross
Examination) to expose the contradictions.
