Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is a quirky game to say the least. I began playing this game for a livestream, and it sure makes for a great conversation piece. I personally revel in great stories... more

    5 Stars The Wright Stuff Review with images 20/05/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Brilliant plot

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No replay value

    Capcom are renowned for their more active titles, like Street Fighter or Devil May Cry, so it is a bit odd that there is no sign of Chun Li or E. Honda on the Nintendo DS. Instead, Capcom have offered up one of the strangest, yet one of the most unique games ever. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is a completely text driven adventure, which is originally adapted from the Japanese original called Gyutaken Saiban (“Objection Court”). At the beginning the titular character, Phoenix, is a rookie criminal defence attorney working alongside Mia Fey at her legal firm. Right from the off Mia chucks you ... more

    5 Stars Phoenix Wright - Ace Game! 24/07/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Interesting storylines, addictive, nice graphics, interesting characters

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some parts can be difficult to get past, to start with its a bit too easy

    I bought this game recently after having got the impression that it was a 'must have' game for the DS. I have to say, Nintendo are particularly good at coming up with original games and this game does work pretty well on the DS platform. Being a bit of a crime show fan and having seen plenty of court room footage/drama shows on TV (Law & Order and so on) also made me keen on this game, as its all about guiding a rookie lawyer by the name of, you guessed it, Phoenix Wright, through a number of cases, in order to make him, again you guessed it!, an ace attorney (somewhat cheesy I know!). This ... more

    Advantages Advantages Decent ideas, interesting characters,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Feels more like a visual novel than a game.

    Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is an unusual roleplaying game released by Capcom. The first three of the series where originally released for the Gameboy advance in Japan. Because the games where a success, they where re-released for the DS with an extra case and met with some critical and commercial acclaim. The game has also been released as an Ipod Touch App. Out of all the formats it's been released for, the DS is the most suitable because. the game takes full advantage of the consol's controls, microphone, double screen and touch screen. Using the touch screen to investigate crime scenes ... more

    5 Stars Phoenix Wright: The Start to a Unique and Amazing Series 21/07/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great story, great characters, emotionally engaging

    Disadvantages Disadvantages some puzzles are baffling, completely linear so no replayability

    Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney The Story The game takes place in an unknown near-future country, based roughly on a caricature of the Japanese legal system. You playPhoenix Wright, a recently qualified defence attorney, and with the help of your trusty and loveable side-kick Maya Fey, you take on a series of cases and try to discover the truth behind each. Unfortunately for Phoenix, there is no presumption of innocence until proven guilty, reflecting the actual practice in Japan (though it beginning to shift away from this as later games in the series explore). Not so much a reflection of ... more
