5-5 gets praise all around, ranging from Blackquill's testimony/Mood Matrix, Apollo's testimony, Aura and the setpiece of the exploded courtroom, and Edgeworth. The Phantom is a mixed bag. People liked the premise and figuring out the Phantom, but maybe not the ending of exposing The Phantom. The Phantom's real identity also caused some concerns.
Summary:
This extra case slips in between cases 2 and 3, showcasing Phoenix's first returning case as a lawyer, and featuring a rather unusual client.
Main Characters:
Phoenix Wright, Athena Cykes, Apollo Justice, Trucy Wright, Pearl Fey, Bobby Fulbright, Simon Blackquill, The Judge
Other Characters:
Sasha Buckler, Ora Shipley, Jack Shipley, Marlon Rimes, Sniper, Norma DePlume, Herman Crab, Azura Summers
My rating: 9/10. The DLC case really surprised me. I expected a so-so case, which is how it felt a bit at first, but it really evolved into something great. Ora as the defendant goes through more twists than I expected, Crab is a wonderful red herring of a witness, and Rimes is, of course, incredibly memorable. The ending is also really good and makes this case feel wholly unique. Also, props to using Pearl! She shows up in 5-5
technically
but she actually plays a role here.
