Case 4-2: Turnabout Corner

WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS

It’s characters galore at the beginning of this case.  Turnabout Corner officially introduces us to Trucy Wright, Phoenix’s self-adopted daughter, introduces us to Klavier Gavin, this game’s rockin’ prosecutor, and re-introduces us to Ema Skye, who has returned from Europe (since moving there after case 1-5) and is now a “scientific” detective, replacing Gumshoe.

This case kind of works like case 3-2, where a smaller crime leads to a bigger one.  The only difference is here, this one involves panties.  Yes, you gotta take care of your mind on this one because the references to panties in this case can get somewhat dirty; Something I never really expected from an Ace Attorney game.  Three crimes, all related to a bigger murder, that all need to be solved in order for the murder to be understood.  (Well, four smaller crimes if you count one that happens late in this case.)  Personally I found it kind of confusing to solve all three to get to the real case.

Another interesting note is that the defendant is the son of a crime lord trying to turn things around… all because of the defendant.  Unfortunately he isn’t very co-operative and would rather do hard time than let them help him out, even though he isn’t the guilty party.  (Is he even aware that the sentence for murder in this game is death?)  Apollo pretty much gets threatened by the defendant’s father that he MUST find him not guilty if he values his life… not that anyone’s life hasn’t been at stake before, but this is the first time it’s happened here. (Although I do question the seriousness of the threat, especially when he’s trying to get out of the gang scene.)

Anyways, I’m about halfway through the third case now, so I will most likely be finished it fairly soon.
