Believe it or not, Capcom's Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law is actually going to be the first PSP game released in 2008, and judging by everything we've seen up to this point, it could be everything Phoenix Wright fans and PSP owners have been waiting for.
However, some critics might argue it's more of an interactive cartoon than a full-on mystery/courtroom sim, but we won't know for sure until we get our hands on it when it releases Jan. 8. Either way, we're sure fans of the series will be in for a treat.

Isn't this game developed by Higher-voltage, the same company that makes games like Family guy and Leisure Suit Larry MCL? Wonder if this will be good as Ace Attorney despite MCL was meh.

Actually, publisher and developer are different. I mean, Capcom published the game, but Higer Voltage made the game. It is common practice in the gaming world for a publisher to get more credit of game that a developer made.
For instance, not many people knows that Yukes made those WWE and Rumble Roses games and not THQ and Konami; the psp version of God of War is made by Ready at Dawn Studios or that the DarkWatch game published by Capcom is actually made by High Moon Studios.
What I mean is that if this game is released outside of the US, another publisher might bring it out, hence this game isn't made by Capcom, but only published by them. The game is really developed by Higher Voltage who makes lackluster games. One can check wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_birdman#Video_Game) if one still believes that Capcom made this game.

It's High Voltage, not higher voltage....
And, it's published by Capcom, but Capcom also, pretty much told them what to make. High Voltage, usually fails at gameplay, but Capcom, pretty much told them what to do as far as gameplay... It's Pheonix Wright gameplay, with Harvey Birdman's Writers, and Capcom characters making cameos. I am good friends with someone who works for them. I'm also a fan of the show.

The biggest gripe I have with this game is the fact that Stephen Colbert will not be voicing Sebben. Sorry, that's pretty much a deal breaker right there. He made that character, and anytime Sebben pops into this game, I'm going to grimace, and then cry that they couldn't offer Colbert enough money to play the part.
Sorry, you need the real voices when you do this kind of thing. It looks interesting, while not exactly a pheonix wright game, it could be fun, but it just won't be for me without that HA HAA!

Yeah, as soon as Phil started speaking I was dismayed. Where is Colbert? And who is this Stephen Stanton guy? Now it looks more like an interactive episode I'm more worried about the length of the game than anything. If the price is right I'll be grabbing this though.

Stephen who? =P
I don't know much of that, but at least the situations seen in the video look fun. And I guess the gameplay'll be pretty similar to Phoenix Wright, so yeah, I'm gonna love this game. Hope we get a Phoenix Wright game eventually too =)
