Default Harvey Birdman impressions?

So has anyone played Harvey Birdman yet? I saw it in a games store, but couldn't decide whether it merited the full $30 price. The Phoenix Wright games are perfect for traveling or working out (you can run on a treadmill and only have to press a button every ten seconds or so). Being tied to my PS2 for the whole game seems less appealing.

Besides, apparently Stephen Colbert isn't in it, and the game is really short.

Is it worth it despite all of this?

I played it on PSP, overall it was enjoyable but definitely short and a lot simpler than Phoenix Wright gameplay/puzzle wise.

I'd say it's probably worth the price if you are a real Harvey Birdman fan, otherwise a rent/borrow.

The replacement voice for Phil Ken Sebben was a bit weird, but the Reducto voice was spot on I thought (not sure if Colbert did any other characters?)

Hope this helps a bit!

[edit]
Hehe I had a look at the review, they said about the same thing

OK, I won't bother, then. Thanks.

I played it on Wii. It was entertaining enough, but not very challenging at all and WAY too short. I played it in about 5-6 hours. Good game, but not AT ALL worth the money.

God damn it! It's bad enough that we can't get Adult Swim TV shows in this country, now there's a Harvey Birman game (that's been out for a while) I never even knew about?

I'm really pissed off right now...

That's why I love bargain bins. It was worth it for me. =D
