MILES EDGEWORTH IN ACE ATTORNEY
Not a whole lot of game franchises offer character development that bridges several instalments. It’s easy to see why – you don’t want to make it too hard for people joining a franchise late to get up to speed with what happened to its heroes. Sometimes however, you get a chance to start at the beginning, especially now, thanks to all these re-releases.
That’s how I met Miles Edgeworth. not-so-secret star, because his relationship with protagonist Phoenix Wright supplies much of the game’s narrative backbone. Due to it giving you different cases to solve, I expected to be a collection of comedic, but ultimately unrelated one-shots. But Miles quickly establishes himself as your ongoing antagonist, and he makes a great anime foil – a fop with the most dramatic fashion sense, a permanent scowl and no time for nonsense.
