Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law


Absurdist humor meets legalese - or rather, legal-ease

But after blazing through the episodes in less than five hours, we've modified our original query to: Where's the gameplay? Call it Phoenix Wright for dummies - the formula has been streamlined and simplified so much that the resulting point-and-click experience is largely devoid of challenge. It's a choose-your-own-adventure where nearly every path leads to success.

And sure, we took the case to win it, but it makes Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law feel like a marginally interactive half-season of bonus episodes. But while the suit may be frivolous, at least you know your day in court will be entertaining.
