I have my copy from Japan.
Yes the English translation is there.
Yes the game is awesome.
Yes the music has improved.

First case

you defend Phoenix as Mia, its set in the past obviously. Love the "we all know whose milkshake brings all the boys to the yard" joke when Payne and the Judge gush over Phoenix 's girlfriend!

WildArms · Aug 23, 2007

First case is awesome. Second case is awesome so far too.

Octagon · Aug 23, 2007

Um.. maybe they are all posting in the other thread or haven't received their copies yet?!

darthbane2k · Aug 23, 2007

Played the first case a while back, so no surprises there... but still waiting on my copy.

I am waiting for my copy to arrive!

Shahadan · Aug 23, 2007

Im at the beginning of the 3rd case. Love it so far. The cases (even the first ) have the same density and the evilgeniusofcrime-ness than previous games last case.
(but of course no one can approach the pure awesomeness of PW2 last case)

Lot of humor and pop culture references as usual and we all love it, go buy it, why are you still here damnit !

lastendconductor · Aug 23, 2007

This game needs more trials and less tribulations. The investigation parts suck as always and the fucking lame psy-locks are back... I've only just started the 2nd case (1st one was great as always), so maybe I'm wrong and there's more courtroom action, let's hope I am

. Oh please don't let this be like JFA...

eXistor · Aug 23, 2007

I'm waiting for the US release to prevent the series from staying in Japan. Though I'm pretty sure GS4 was already announced for stateside release (or was this a dream?).

!@#%!^%$#$^%# I totally forgot to order it!!!

JavaMava · Aug 23, 2007

I loved the first, was disapointed by the second. I think I made it to the 3rd case. The circus one.

Lyte Edge · Aug 23, 2007

Got it. It's great. It's more of the same recycled visuals over and over again as expected, but it's great. The music seems better than PS2 so far, but still not up to PW1 standards.

I didn't finish case 4 either. I think the case lost its luster halfway because it was spoiled for me. =\

painey · Aug 23, 2007

just like the CSI games, the last case always brings a previous case into the picture which i love, but I thought PW2 was certainly not as good as PW1 when it came to cases.. im not a fan of the whole spirit medium thing.. i like the cases that are "real" if you know what i mean. I should get PW3 this weekend and i look forward to it

That's like nibbling a chocolate eclair and stopping just shy of the sweet gooey chocolate centre!

Play the 4th case. You owe it to yourself to do so.

Hope CSI: Hard Evidence is a little more unpredictable than it's predecessors were though.

Sho Nuff · Aug 23, 2007

How's the translation? I hear that there are, uhhmm, lots of typos.

Segata Sanshiro · Aug 23, 2007

I'm waiting for the NA release. I'm likely not going to play it until after Xmas anyway, and at least a few of us have to make the sacrifice to make sure Capcom keeps releasing them here. I can easily make that sacrifice, so I do.

ex0du5 · Aug 23, 2007

Maybe I should pick one of these titles up.

I'm seriously thinking that I'll pick this up, and it's going to be a non-challenging point-and-click storyline that is just going to last 5 hours...am I wrong?

I can't speak for the third one, but the first one is probably about 15-20 hours at least. The last case is probably more than five hours in that one. The second one seemed shorter, maybe 12-15 hours?

As for the challenge, it's like most adventure games...if you tinker around enough, you'll always find the way through. What really makes the games is the courtroom battles, although they're not usually terribly hard unless you're not good at spotting contradictions or the solution is really bizarre, which it is one or two times.

Still, I'd recommend playing at least one of the games. If you really get into the characters you'll probably want to come back for more, and even if you don't, you'll probably have enjoyed the story/characters/dialogue enough to feel as though your money was well-spent.

If it's like the previous games, it's at least double that length, maybe almost 15.

No more than say in Justice for All's Japanese edition. Nothing to really spoil the experience, that's for sure...It actually becomes a game in itself looking out for them (*sad, I know*).

ex0du5 · Aug 23, 2007

I'm tempted

. Which is the best in the series so far? I could pick up 2 easily, I believe.

The narrative is going to mean more to you if you start with the first one. You can jump in on the second one, they practically club you over the head with the exposition, but I think you'll find it worth your time to track down the first one. Amazon has it in stock.

3's the best by all accounts, but 3 refers a lot to the previous 2 games so you're going to be left out without playing those first.

So go 1 --> 2 --> 3.

Mistouze · Aug 23, 2007

Waiting for The EU release >_<

monkeylite · Aug 23, 2007

I got it today. Speed played the first case since I have already played that (fan translated GBA). Second case is awesome!

Pureauthor · Aug 23, 2007

Should get it around Saturday...

Lostconfused · Aug 23, 2007

Considering that i have absolutely no knowledge of the japanese language i am think i should wait until its released over here, but damn it you are certainly making it very hard for me to do.

There's the brown button at the start screen that switches the game over to everything that'll be in the english localization anyway.

I did, but i just hoped that they wouldn't be completely lazy when it comes to localizing this game.

3 is awesome.. between this Zelda and FFCC my DS is working OT..

STG! · Aug 23, 2007

My copy shipped, that's all I know.

Hopefully I'll get it by the weekend or early next week.

Now announce GS4 in English Capcom!

TheGreatDave · Aug 23, 2007

I was kinda disappointed with 2, I never even finished it after being addicted to the first game. Has anybody felt similar and enjoyed the third game?

Ramenman · Aug 23, 2007

Even first case is amazing.

It's still a "tutorial" of some kind, but it's a flashback in the main story, plus a surprise fanservice (it was to me, at least).
It's also longer than the previous first cases, it lasts two chapters.

Also, wtf @

Grossberg's hemorrhoids ?? I thought his youth was all about the scent of fresh lemon !

:lol :lol
This is madness.

I'm not so far in the second case, but I can already say that

Mask Demasque is awesome. Plus this kind of impossible robbery almost always lead to a wonderful scenario.

I don't know, I really can't remember anything of "What was the caused of death?" in PW2. This one seems a bit rougher, hopefully they'll use the gap between the JP and NA releases to polish it up a bit more.

Then again, I said that about PW2 :/
