This game looks good, I'll keep an eye out for it when my cash reserves aren't depleted.

I finished Ghost Trick last night and it has become my favorite video game story ever. I don't know about favorite gameplay, which is unique and rewarding as well, but definitely my favorite plot and cast of characters in anything I've played.
It lays down that intrigue, maaaan
I won't spoil the ending, but it reminded me of a certain pet I lost last year, and had more of an impact on me than usual for that reason. Not to mention, it was just a great, hilarious ride of cartoony Japanese humor, interesting point-and-click puzzle solving, and a great mystery that you could solve with the clues you were given before everything was revealed, but wasn't obvious, at least not to me.
Ooooh, "lamp shade," I get it now
Even as "out there" as things got, the rules of the universe were well-defined enough that I never called "bullshit!" on anything. It would be kind of hard to considering the premise of you as a ghost solving the mystery of who you are.
Also, what in God's name these two are going to do to you while your butt's in the air
Beyond just being well-executed, the game had a lot of heart to it as well. I didn't but I wouldn't blame someone for tearing up a bit at the end. The twists and turns taken in the plot made me switch my views on several characters a couple times, but in the end, I couldn't be happier with the ending.
Heck, this game gets my award for "Best Credits Sequence I've Seen In A Video Game."
It was so good, it made me do a chicken dance, passed down in my family for zero generations!
Having said all this, the game does have a few minor flaws, like certain text scrolls being too long and reappearing when you mess up. Traveling back in time due to a simple mistake can be a pain in the ass, and some tasks have too-short time limits for my taste, particularly near the end. Also, the game is part stylus-centric puzzle-solving and part graphic novel in game form, so it may not be for everyone.
What DO You Think? I'm At A Loss Here ...
Still, I've never really played or liked games in this vein, but giving it a chance provided me one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had playing a game. Were I a reviewer, I'd give it a perfect score, cause there is very little I feel could have been done better for what it is and tries to do.
I highly recommend it!
Life is Good
