LucasArts adventure sending Indy down three routes toward Atlantis.
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
Menu-only courtroom with no timing demands
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
Pointing and clicking, light fistfight option
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
Witnesses are fully scripted; no adaptive element
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
No adaptive opposition
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
