Hey,
I might be getting AJ for my birthday soon, I can't wait! :D
I'm worried I'll be disappointed in a way, I'm sure I'll love it though (don't spoil anything).
Does it live up to PW3/the PW Trilogy?

Combolations.In my opinion, no. It's good, but not as good as the original series.

Happy birthday!

AJ is a pretty good game. It's just it follows T&T, which is an amazing game.

AJ is my favorite, so I'd say it lives up to it.
But a lot of people don't like it as well, so really it's up for you to play and decide.

I hope you have a great birthday!

As far as the game goes, everyone has a different opinion on it. I like it about the same as the first PW game, perhaps even a bit more as I really love the new cast, but that is just me. I do agree that opinion is probably a bit swayed as this game follows T&T which was the finale of the original series and therefore was purposely built up as much as they could manage to really end the series on a high note. This game was intended as an intro into a new series and as such wasn't really designed to compete with T&T. I wouldn't be surprised to find that the last game in the AJ arc rivals T&T, but this is just a lead in and needs to be considered as such. It's a great game, but I don't want you to be disappointed. Anyway, I personally rank it quite highly (above JFA and close to AA), but it's not on the same level as T&T and nor was it really intended to be.
