Shu Takumi, creature of the Ace Attorney series, received a lot of praise (not from Joe) for his quirky supernatural whodunit, Ghost Trick. Now iOS users who missed out on the DS title can enjoy the game, for free!

The first two chapters of the game are available for free in the iOS App Store for enjoyment on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. Additional chapters are available in three different packs priced at $4.99, or you can grab the whole thing full boar for $9.99.

Having played a bit of both, I can genuinely say I prefer the iPhone version. The big, beautiful display of my iPhone 4 really shows off the games fluid, stylistic art style. Being able to swipe Sissel’s ghost between objects to possess them is also blissfully simple. When I get around to finally playing the game to completion, this will be the way I do it. Check it out!

The same WAS fun, but after beating it in about 5 hours, there wasn't really anything to do. And I say that after replaying every Phoenix Wright game about 3 times, because they're hilarious...this one, not really as much unfortunately.

What is this?

Creature of the Ace Attorney series? Dunno why but I find that typo humorous.

With the only good DS port to IOS being ScribbleNauts, I don't expect this to be very good.

This will be top priority if I ever get an iPhone. I skipped out on the DS version, but for $9.99 i don't think I could pass it up.

Ghost Trick: Spirit Detective was one of the sleeper hits of 2011. Anyone who missed out on it the first time around owes it to themselves to try it out. Sporting fluid animation, a vibrant art style, a captivating narrative loaded with humor, unforgettable characters and innovative puzzle mechanics, Ghost Trick is a must-play.

And I have totally been waiting for an iOS port of this and Radiant Historia

I really need to get this...If I can find it.

Already beaten it. Great game and animations are top notch. Get it if you haven't already.

I didn't know this game and Ace Attorney had the same creator.
