 The Phoenix Wright trilogy ties up the loose ends. March 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations does everything right that it has done in the previous two Phoenix Wright games. However, it doesn't do anything new. The game still features Phoenix Wright, everyone's favorite defense attorney, and the return of some of the wacky characters to bring you another series of cases and the conclusion to the ongoing mystery of Misty Fey and the master of the Kurain Channeling Technique. In addition to wrapping of the Fey story, the game also introduces Prosecutor Godot, a very mysterious prosecutor who somehow seems to know Phoenix. While these continuing storylines do a lot to add to the experience, Trials and Tribulations really does expand on the feeling that Justice for All (the second game in the series) left with me: that it was the same game getting recycled. While the sound still does a very nice job at helping to create atmosphere, the graphics all seem to be copied and pasted and the gameplay is still the same point-and-click that has taken us through two games already. I understand that the entire trilogy was originally made for the GameBoy Advance and that it is, by nature, a point-and-click game, but I don't think that excuses the lack of innovation and effort shown. One positive about Trials is that it does bring back the Magatama, allowing you to press witnesses at the crime scene to discover what they know if they're trying to hide something from you.
Please don't get me wrong: in its own right, Trials and Tribulations is a very good game and a score in the sevens out of a possible ten is nothing to be ashamed of. However, I feel that, with a little more work (i.e. gameplay elements, new or improved graphics, bonus content, etc.), Trials and Tribulations could be a great game instead of just a good one. The fourth installment in the series is being developed from the ground up specifically for the DS. This should keep the series from getting stale, which it is, unfortunately, starting to do. Overall, Trials is a game that should not be missed by any fan of the great Phoenix Wright. If you're just looking to get into this fantasy courtroom series, I highly advise you to play the games in their intended order, as getting into the ongoing storyline should increase your enjoyment of this game all the more.

A Brilliant Conclusion to a Brilliant Trilogy February 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you've played the first two games of the series and enjoyed them, then you seriously have to get this game as well. Trials and Tribulations is a stunning and well-deserved conclusion to one of the best sleeper hit series out there today.
In this game, you take on 5 cases, so it's already got more to offer than the Justice for All. Many of the characters you have known and loved from the first two games make a comeback, including Mia, Maya, Pearl, Gumshoe, Maggey, even Franzsiska and Edgeworth. Trials and Tribulations also introduces several new characters into the Phoenix Wright world, such as Godot, a mysterious prosecutor that hates Phoenix for an unknown reason, and Dahlia Hawthorne, a seemingly sweet and innocent girl who used to date Phoenix. And not to spoil anything too much, but there's more than one playable character...Start guessing now, folks.
Trials and Tribulations starts off in a flashback, to five years ago. The defense attorney is Mia Fey. The defendant...well, let's just say you've seen him before. Past and present collide over the course of the game, leading up the shocking conclusion case that will leave even veteran Ace Attorney players with their mouth agape.
Game play does not differ from previous Ace Attorney titles, in fact, it plays exactly like Justice for All. As with all of the Ace Attorney games, first you search for clues in the investigation stage, then use what you find in court. The Magatama makes a comeback as well, possibly getting even more use than in the last game. The music and sound in the Ace Attorney games has and probably always will be one of its most endearing qualities, and if the music doesn't get you excited, the suspenseful and plot-twisting storyline will.
No game can be without flaws, however. One of the main problems with The Ace Attorney series is the type of game it is. Not everyone's going to want to sit down to a text-scrolling puzzle game. If you want button smashing goodness, this might not be the game for you. But if you are looking for a game to challenge you problem-solving skills, this might be just what you are looking for. The game can also be rather frustrating at times, and hard to progress in some points. For example, you may find that you must present a random piece of evidence to someone to advance the storyline, when it took you forever to figure out you needed to do this.
All in all, this is a game worthy of the highest recommendation, but please don't try to pick this game up without first playing the first two games in the trilogy. Trials and Tribulations wraps up Phoenix's story, but if you haven't gotten your fill of courtroom drama, be sure to check out Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, which features a new protagonist and a few interesting guest appearances...again, start guessing now. Or, you could skip the guessing, and go buy these amazing games for yourself. It's your call.

Great game with a great story February 8, 2008
I previously played Phoenix Wright-Justice for all, which I liked a lot. So I had very high expectations regarding the 3 sequel.
Overall I can say the following: each of the 5 cases is highly entertaining, there is always more to find out about the different characters. None of the ends can be foreseen, which I liked a lot.
Tjis game is not about highly elaborated features but its strength comes from the highly entertaining cases.
If you liked Justice for all, you will love Trials and Tribulations.
Give it a try February 3, 2008
I was sure I wasn't going to like this game, but I was wrong. I loved this game. It is so addicting!! If you want more of a game that really make you think than this is for you. Try it. I'm sure you'll love it!!!
Trails of your life January 20, 2008
This game is so fun, after every episode, every piece of evidence, and after every battle in court you'll be begging for more!
