Congrats on the featured trial thing. I've only played the first part, but I thought it was pretty entertaining so far.

Here's some stuff I wrote down while playing part 1. Mostly typos. I don't really know where the sound effects are supposed to go.

Spoiler : Turnabout Carjack :
General issues:

I know Franzy is annoying, but she seems to have reverted back to JFA-style annoying-ness. Seriously, I don't remember her being quite so irritating in either T&T or AAI (I don't know if you've played that one yet, though).
In the check for the glove letter, "of" should be "off"

While playing (hopefully the frame numbers are right):

The prologue looks really nice.
44- "men" should be "man"
45- "the years" should be "my years". Also, the "very" sounds weird.
46- optional: sticks to "me" would make more sense
58- optional: comma after "well". Also, both Ron deLite admitted to stealing the Sacred Urn in GS3. I know that wasn't "robbery", but it was still the first thing I thought of when I read this line of text.
126- "your" should be "you're".
198- optional: you don't need the word "having" here.
199- instead of "on", "sitting in" or "in the car".
200- possible typo: did you mean "how" instead of "now"?
224- I'm not sure why you stopped the music here.
228- I know it's important to know what "quick test" means, but Edgeworth probably should explain why it's important here. Since he's making an objection and all.
233- Paycheck is one word.
265- "create a problem" doesn't sound right.
304- Is there some way you can make it more obvious that there's a flashback?
308- It's not really the database that's unreliable, if I'm reading this correctly. It's the test that's unreliable.
320- How does he draw that conclusion? It's totally possible that Fiz's DNA is the only DNA on the ring even if the test was not complete. Is he bluffing, or am I misunderstanding?
344- "near" the car sounds better to me.
345- I think it'd be better as "We assume that the criminal wore the glove to hide her fingerprints."
381- space between "for" and "that" needed
386- sounded kind of awkward
403- You had "detective" capitalized earlier in the trial.
474- "Lets" should be "let's" or "let us".
475- I don't see why "give you" is highlighted. It'd make more sense for "If you say yes" to be highlighed, because the point Edgeworth makes in the next frame is that Fiz DID say yes, which is why she has the ring.
Also, about this point: it doesn't prove that Fiz loved Stape. She might've just replied because she wanted the ring. I can't believe that Franzy wouldn't catch that...I mean, if it was Payne, maybe, but not Franziska.
481- There must be a better phrase you can use besides "proven wrong".
497- What Stape says in his letter isn't proof enough that Fiz had forgiven him. He could have just THOUGHT that she forgave him, while in reality she hadn't.
525- Four lines of text here.

Excellent. This is exactly what I needed! Thanks. :)

That surprises me, because I thought she was being too easy!

You will find that the quality of Parts 2 and 3 are a lot better. If I recall correctly, it took me a year to make this. ;)

Oh, yeah, I totally agree that she's easier to defeat in your case than she was in JFA. What I mean by "annoying" is her personality; how she won't listen to anything Edgeworth says even when what he's saying is reasonable, how she whips people like every five seconds, and how she's generally is a big jerk. Somehow, I expected her to be more mature, since she's older now in your case.

I'll play the other two parts some time. I want to see what happens next. :D

Well you're the best reviewer I've had so far. :P

I tried to do that, but then I thought to play it safe.

What exactly is the point of a life bar if youre going to have every penalty take off over half of the bar...

And also, overusing the "pressing anything but the correct option = penalty" mechanic gets very tiresome, especially when combined with the above problem of huge penalties

Glad you liked it...

Here we prefer it if you use constructive criticism. ;) Try to show appreciation as well as crying out what you hate about it. :)

Anyway, welcome to the community. :)

i thought it was ok, but that was severely dampened by the fact that i had to replay most of it 3 times because one screw up took off most of your life...

and the ending was a huge stretch to me. this may be the phoenix wright world of selective law enforcement, but the fact that everyone got off with no punishment whatsoever kind of ruins any credibility the court may have. considering there was a car theft, and two people covering it up, you would expect at least something to come out of it. whether or not you had a good reason for doing so, stealing a car is still stealing a car.

it wasnt that bad though.. on a scale from 1 = garbage to 10 = one day trials from the games, ill give you a 5-6

Thanks for the feedback. I'll make those improvements. ;)

Although I worked hard on the ending, I feel as though it was a bit rushed. But all evidence was used, so I'm happy about that. ;)

That's true, so I've changed it slightly. Although, the whole point of the story is to show what a criminal really is.

I loved the first part! It felt like a real AA game, especially when you used the "swooshing" scene between the defense and the prosecution!

Thanks. ;) I might add the swooshing to the rest of the trial in the future. ;)

Thank you. I loved the fact you used a Corrie storyline for your case! I knew what happened as well XD

As okappa has recently become a reviewer, he will review my trial, because I want to see if he is too strict when he does his reviews (but also because I haven't had a proper review for this trial :P).
