One word; Amazing. June 19, 2008
I know most people out there are into the cliche characters in the video gaming industry; Mario, Peach, Luigi, Donkey Kong, and so forth. But the character I've come to favor the most is... Phoenix Wright! To be honest, I bought the first game because it was 1. Cheap (20 bucks!) and 2. Sounded cool. I've always been into law shows so I figured it might be a decent game at best, but what happened on accident has become a complete infatuation with the series. Capcom really out did themselves on the Phoenix Wright series as they allow players to be both detective and defense attorney while interweaving it with truly fascinating and compelling story lines. Trials and Tribulation consists of 5 cases, 2 relatively short ones, 2 normal length ones, and one giant case. Most would think this kind of game would be a breeze, but I liken it to something of an RPG where you have to bide your time to "level up" (in this case, investigate) so you can take on a "boss" (or.. Godot in this game). T.T. took me a great length of time to play and beat, which I couldn't be more pleased because in reality, cases don't just blow by. I though that T.T. was the best in the series because it goes back to basics and returns what made the first two games in the series so enjoyable to play; a charismatic protagonist, interesting supporting characters, fantastic game play, seemingly impossible to defend cases, and so forth. The difference is, this time around, 3 of the cases are tied together, enabling the player to see a greater picture of Phoenix's world and those around him. If possible, anybody with a DS must get this and the other games in the series... hundreds of thousands of people can't possibly be wrong!

I personally own the whole series (the game got me hooked since the first AA came out), and I believe that this part of the series had the best story of them all. I thought that the other storylines and personalities created in the other three were fantastic, but this one had the most colorful and dramatic characters of them all, imo. Godot with his coffee addiction, Phoenix with his usual goofiness, and just everyone else within the game. You learn a lot more details that were left out in part 1 (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, and you're practically drawn into a deeper storyline within this one.
I highly recommend the whole series without a doubt. I myself will be looking forward to the new Prosecutor series coming out along with the new Ace Attorney.

I was so sad to end this game. I made sure i dragged out the 5th case!
So, yes. What can i say? Obviously if you have the other 2 games then get this one too! i think they should definately be played in order otherwise you wont enjoy them as much. Getting to play Mia was amazing, even though her cases werent very long. Getting to play the other character (even though it's been revealed here who it is, i wont say) was even more amazing because that person is my favourite character. And new characters were very funny like the deluded detective 'Luke Atmey' (i liked the play on words with his name) and coffee obsessed Godot. although i wasnt sure of him at first. He wasnt so bad once i learned his story. The 5th and final case was absolutely amazing! It would be easy to get confused with that storyline but because it was so well written, any confusion was short lived and it all became very clear what was going on. And that's the key with the Phoenix Wright games, they are brilliantly written. I hope the Apollo Justice games are the same too. I will be playing that soon enough i'm sure!
Now, never before have i had to use 'walkthrough help' with these games, but on the 5th case, i did a tiny bit. but once i used it, i realised that i should of worked out what evidence needed presenting, so i was peeved at myself! So, at last, the game ended, and i got a bit choked to be honest. I have so enjoyed been in Phoenix's world, meeting Maya and Pearl and Mia and detective Gumshoe (a fab character) and Miles Edgeworth and the one who has been there causing trouble at some point in every game Larry Butz! He creases me up all the time. I shall definately miss all of them, and will enjoy re-playing the games forever! I just hope i can rely on Apollo Justice to bring some more characters i will love. Bye Phoenix and the gang. Thanks for the hours of enjoyment i had in your world. :)
 An excellent continuation of the series April 6, 2008

I have not yet played through all five cases, but so far it's everything that's good about Phoenix Wright: interesting twists and turns, entertaining characters and that great feeling of being on a roll as you poke yet another hole in the witnesses' testimony. In the second game I felt the music was not as strong as the original, but number three is a return to form with much catchier tunes...
If you've played the other two you may feel the first case holds your hand a little too much, but it never becomes genuinely annoying.
No further objections.
Best DS game so far March 30, 2008

This is probably the best DS game I have played so far; here is why:
-A very involved storyline that keeps you continually interested yet not confused
-Easy controls and directions in the courtroom and during investigations
-The anime-type graphics are awesome even if you aren't into anime
-The characters are awesome
-The different cases are so interesting, it almost makes you want to become a lawyer...and i'm serious
Basically this game is very fun and it keeps you guessing but not to the point of confusion. It's one of those games where YOU WILL get stuck, but not so stuck that you'll never play it again because, trust me, you will want so bad to continue. I have gotten stuck three times so far and I am on the second episode out of 5 or 6 (can't remember how many there are). Let me tell you why I didn't rush to a walkthru when I was stuck: You get so into the story that you really wanna figure out which piece of evidence to use yourself because when you do, it feels SO rewarding because it's not an easy game, but it isn't too hard either, it's just right. I did get stuck to the point where I HAD to check a site cuz I was so confused, but this doesn't frequently happen. Usually you can figure it out if you rethink the story and the crime and evidence. The fact that this game has many episodes, each of which is of a rather generous length, is a great point of why it is good for it's money because by the time it's over you probably will want to replay it and plus it takes so long (not in a bad way) to finish one episode that it lasts you a while, unless of course you play it non-stop. It is not addicting, but you will want to keep enjoying it. It is one of the best adventure games I've ever played and the best adventure game I've played on DS. It's totally worth the money and murder-mystery/law game/law tv show fans will love it. It is super fun. I know my review may sound confusing, but trust me, this is an AWESOME GAME!! Anyone with a ds should have it in their collection of games!
