If you own a DS and don't own Ghost Trick, something is horribly wrong.
The entire game maintains the same level of "holy shit!" tension as the last case in any of the Ace Attorney games, and if you're a fan of that series you'll understand what high praise that is. Hell, I almost hate to say it, but Ghost Trick's endgame honestly surpasses even the 'Turnabout on the Bridge' final case from Trials and Tribulations.
As for the gameplay--it's very well designed, very engaging, and functions much more as a "game" than the "gameplay" parts of the Ace Attorney games. Again, though, if you're a fan, you'll understand how unimportant the gameplay often becomes in a game created by Shu Takumi--the story and characters take the spotlight, and it's quite the show they put on.
This is a masterful game with clever gameplay, beautiful animation and some truly brilliant storytelling. Get it at all costs.
