Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective (Nintendo DS)

I just picked this up yesterday. It's SOOOOOOOOOO good! It's a neat little puzzle game from the writer/creator of the Ace Attorney series.
You play as the recently deceased Sissel. He's been killed, but he has no idea why, or even who he is. All he knows is that he wants to get to the bottom of this mystery! In order to accomplish this, he must use special "Ghost Tricks", powers where he can possess objects to move around and also manipulate them to achieve his goals. Most of the time, this involves saving the lives of people who've been killed.
But they're already dead right? Ah, that's one of his powers. He can travel back to 4 minutes before their deaths, watch the scene play itself out, and then try to change it so they don't die.
Most of the puzzles in this game are set up like giant Rube Goldberg machines, and it's fun watching them play out. The only slightly annoying aspect is that sometimes you can get "stuck" and have to return to the beginning of the puzzle (or the last checkpoint). Otherwise, I'm about 2/3rds of the way through and so far it's AMAZING!
Highly recommended!
