Comments

Stuff you might want to consider changing:

• The player is given a heath bar. If the player presents the incorrect evidence during trial or during a "psyche lock," heath is lost. Had a "psyche lock" not been described 10 or 20 lines below this I wouldn't have known what it was. Wouldn't it be better to explain it on first occurrence? Also, is heath supposed to be health or is it really heath?
  • Fixed and removed the "psyche lock" mention. It is more relevant where it is, so I haven't moved it. NOCTURNENOIR ^{( t • c )} 05:35, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
• Turnabout Corner (Gyakuten Rensa no Machikado (逆転連鎖の街角?, "Turnabout Connected Corners"); and Turnabout Succession (Gyakuten o Tsugu Mono (逆転を継ぐ者?, "Successor to Turnabout". Why are these translated into English twice while the other two or not? Am I missing something?
  • The first (not in the parentheses) is the actual translation in the English game, and the second (in the quotations) is the literal translation. I've added "lit." to both to note this. NOCTURNENOIR ^{( t • c )} 05:35, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
• Although I didn't ask for it, I appreciate you merging the "Plot" paragraphs.

   (a) images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content; and All fair use and appropriately tagged.

   (b) images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions. Suitable in this condition (fair use)

If there are any, I'd encourage you to find pd/cc images. However, I doubt any exist.

I believe this article passes the GA criteria, and because of this I am deciding to pass the article.
