What is your opinion of Turnabout Big Top?

[Burnouts3s3]

In Justice for All, Turnabout Big Top is often cited as one of the WORST cases in the franchises, mainly due to some of the stupid logic, puzzles requiring awkward solutions and reveals.

What do you think?

It was one of three cases I remembered somewhat (one being the first, the other being Phoenix on trial) and it was because it's the worst case ever. I don't even remember any detail, I just remember how I felt towards the end of it. I'm really not looking forward to playing this one, I honestly thought it was part of the first game.

Not a particularly spectacular case, but people really overexaggerate how bad it is. The only real reason to dislike it is the characters, and that is purely based on personal preference. For instance, I didn't hate anyone except Ben/Trilo, so I like the case far more. It's good. That's about it.

I actually enjoyed Turnabout Big Top. I never understood why the fans hated it so much

I actually like the characters, but i disliked the case overall, it's just idk, some weird feel but i cant put my finger on why.

Two things I can remember is that it features a circus and the hilarious harsh double penalty you can receive if you accuse the judge of hiding the murder weapon.
That's about it, the double penalty is the most memorable moment of that case.

I love that clown. I loved cross-examining him.

[ZippoIII]

I loved all the characters, the only thing i hated was the logic of the cape..

Not as bad as some people made it up to be. Some of the plot elements and twists were actually pretty alright the setting was OK. Characters are mostly awful though.

The setting actually excused some of the dumb characters. On the other hand 3-2 was awful and unlike 2-3 it didn't have the circus as an excuse for such a bad over the top (in a really bad way) characters.

in 2-3 Phoenix hating pretty much all the ridiculous characters kind of made up for them being that silly. That actually made me like the clown, not because the clown was great, but the reactions Phoenix had were.

In general Phoenix hating on (in his inner monologue) all the silly characters that act completely insane is one one of my favorite things in this series.

I actually rather like Turnabout Big Top and don't really get the hate for it. To be fair, I probably have huge nostalgia-goggles because it's a case I can vividly remember playing for some reason or another. Regina kind of gets on my nerves, but there's a pretty interesting, if sad, plot to the whole thing.

Definitely not godawful like many other people say it is, but not top tier either. Just another average episode which continues the-third-filler-case tradition.

Imo, out of all cases from the original trilogy I really disliked Rise from the Ashes.

[Archanid5]

Fine mystery bogged down so much by the characters. It's not bad, but not really good.

[Redblaze27]

Its the low point of the weakest entry, but its still pretty alright.

It's not as bad as people make it out to be but it's still amongst the worst cases in the series and definitely the worst case in this trilogy imo.

My main issues with it are the characters are all too loud, (Trilo, Moe and to a lesser extent Max) with Acro being the only likeable character.

The way the murder unfolded is too contrived and doesn't feel satisfying to solve.

The music that plays for Trilo and Moe is way too repetitive for how frequently it's played during the case.

Probably doesn't help that it's sandwiched between a good case and one of the best cases as well, just makes it seem even worse in comparison.

1-1, 1-2, and 2-1 are all by far worse than this, if you ask me

1-1 I give some leeway to as it's the first case, I'm indifferent to it really.

2-1 is pretty weak I'll agree, it's only saving grace is that it's short.

I'm curious as to why you find 1-2 worse as imo that case is pretty good?
