Impressions of Phantom Thief Rousseau

Siliconera has posted some of their impressions of Kaitou Rousseau (Phantom Thief Rousseau) and it looks like they really enjoyed their time with it. The piece even goes on to compare it to Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, a game which any fine reader of DS Fanboy knows is amongst our most favorite things ever. The game centers around Elementary student, and master of disguise, Rousseau. One day his classmate crush Seine is kidnapped and he is forced to don many a mask to save her. It's not like he can just make up disguises on the spot, however.

You see, for Rousseau to even be able to use a mask, he must take pictures of people and animals, which are then used to form new disguises. It's then up to the player to try and draw whichever mask they need, which is then transposed onto Rousseau's face. Then, a grade on how accurately recreated the image is that has been slapped onto his face is given. The game has a total of 3 episodes playing out like interactive comic books.
