Fun, but a bit short on gameplay.

Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law, as you've probably read, is less of a game and more of an interactive series of episodes. Fans of the show will no doubt recognize the running gags, characters, and sense of humor that the game has when compared to its source.
In terms of gameplay, it's very similar to the Phoenix Wright series. It's so similar in fact, that it's basically the same game with Harvey Birdman slathered all over it. In other words, once you've played through it there really isn't any driving need to replay it. That being said, it's still fun to go back through the cases just for the sake of trying out new conversation options and watching the episodes again.
This is definitely something that fans of the original TV series will enjoy along with fans of the Phoenix Wright games as well.
All of it's good points aside, it's definitely one of those games that you should rent first though, that way you can see if you want to spend the extra money that it would take to make it a permanent part of your collection.
