As a fan of the ace attorney games, This one has to be my favorite. I got it for christmas last year along with Justice for all and Trials & Tribulations.
There are many funny running jokes that even if you haven't played the first couple of games you can easily pick up on quickly. The characters are fun and believeable and I especially like the hintings of Apollo and Klavier having some sort of "deeper" relationship.
However: I did dislike how Apollo didn't get much character development, He's the main character and we know very little about his past. It was more focused on Phoenix (sorta). I was also disappointed that some of my favorite characters from the other games didn't make a return (Like Larry and Maya - although Maya is mentioned just not by name).
If you like games that will get you thinking, or have you shouting "OBJECTION!" into the DS mic then pick up this game for sure =D
The game is genius. Apart from your regular hand-to-hand combat games, you think your way through tough cases and help justice prevail every time for good or for bad. User-friendly commands are simple enough for a 6 year old to play too~
I sound like a walking advertisement don't I? Well, the game is that good so think about playing it okay?
This is a perfect and fun game for bright kids, it does not have much educational value and requires kids to use what they already know, but it is a puzzle game and may inspire the children to become a lawyer or writer, the game is simpler than an actual court, phoenix wright is a good role model, but all the cases are of murder, and there are a few d**ms in it.
This game is very addicting. I gave my cousin this game for a early holiday gift, and he immediately loved it! Watching him play it makes me want to play too. The scenes were great and I just loved it when they cornered the culprit. I'd just wish they would add some more cases and movement in court. But it is worth buying!
