One of a kind Posted 08 March 2007
Feels like an old graphic adventure but set with a law background. Loaded with features and clever ways of using a DS.
A GREAT GAME
Phoenix Wright: Fun for all the right reasons Posted 03 March 2007
I got Phoenix Wright because I'd heard so much about it. Glowing reviews, people obsessed with the game, I have never met anyone who didn't enjoy playing through it, so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm so glad I have. It's an addicting game, and gets you hooked from your first case. You could spend hours playing the game and marvel at how fast the time's going by (and how late you are to class). Although this game is text-based, you fall in love with the characters in the game because of how well-developed they are. It's like reading a really good mystery novel, but even better because you get to serve justice in the end. Also, it makes being a lawyer fun which is strange because I never thought of it as a very amusing job. It has just the right amount of humor, drama and tragedy. I loved it. I just finished the 4th case and am about to start the 5th one. I am also definitely getting the sequel to this game, Phoenix Wright: Justice for All. Trust me when I say that you can never get enough of Phoenix.
Awesome game Posted 22 February 2007
this game is much more fun than it looks. Be an investigator, solve a mystery, take part in a court trial, get to shout "Hold it!" and "objection!" It's great!
A fun concept with a few flaws  Posted 21 February 2007
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney hearkens back to the days of my youth when the adventure game was king. While adventure games may have taken a back seat to FPS shooters and RTS strategy games since about the mid-1990s, Phoenix Wright proves there should still be a place in every gamer's library for titles with complex stories, interesting characters, and an emphasis on thoughtful problem-solving.
In Ace Attorney, players assume the titular role of Phoenix Wright, a fledgling defense attorney. Throughout five episodes, Phoenix must defend clients with the odds stacked heavily against him. The prosecution always seems to have the evidence on their side and the judge in their pocket, but if the player is attentive to the evidence in these (fairly wacky) cases, Phoenix will save the day in court. The game primarily alternates between investigating crime scenes and questioning witnesses in court, pressing them on vague statements and objecting to point out contradictions. Ace Attorney is generally fun and interesting, but it is not without flaws. The investigations are enjoyable, but as with most adventure games, they occasionally require the player to jump to rather bizarre conclusions in order to figure out what to do next. Also, the story really strains credulity at points, especially to anyone with a even a passing familiarity with the legal system. Finally, the game really should have had an option to adjust the text speed--for a game with so much reading involved, it can be quite frustrating for the game to dictate the speed at which you read all of that text. Despite these flaws, however, Phoenix Wright is definitely worth checking out on your Nintendo DS. The stories are genuinely interesting, the puzzles challenging but not overly difficult, and the writing is funny (albeit a bit juvenile). Despite a few flaws, Phoenix Wright is ultimately a satisfying adventure gaming experience.

It is fun to do the court action but the music and style of the graphics can get annoying.
