The greatest thing about Ghost Trick is that the characters are all just so likeable, even if they’re meant to be an evil character. We’ll leave the synopsis at that though, the less you know, the better. As Sissel saves more and more people, players will find that there is a huge conspiracy at hand that that even he may have played a part in it too. Sissel also carries the ability to retrace a murder victims steps four minutes before their death, and manipulates objects in an attempt to change the victim’s fate and bring them to life. Sissel eventually discovers (thanks to a talking desk lamp named Ray) that he must solve the mystery of his murder before sunrise as that is when Sissel’s soul will disappear, and the chance to discover the truth will vanish too. Involved in the murder, however, was a detective named Lynne and a mysterious blue skinned assassin. A man named Sissel wakes up to find that he has died – and also can’t even remember who he was, why he’s dead or what predicament he was in to actually die.

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective takes place in an unnamed town during the present day, and opens straight into the action. Well, now that we’ve got Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, not only am I certain that I can live without Takumi writing something that isn’t Ace Attorney, but that it’s probably, without a doubt, one of the best DS games, nay, the best games I’ve ever played. That being said, the games weren’t without their own little flaws and these kind of brought the overall experience down.

Ace Attorney has been my favourite series available for the Nintendo DS and part of this reason was because of its brilliant design and writing. When it was announced that Shu Takumi, the writer of the absolutely fantastic Ace Attorney series had decided to move onto another project to create something different, I was absolutely gutted.
