Best of Series April 15, 2008
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!
The Phoenix Wright trilogy ties up the loose ends. March 11, 2008
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.
Overall: 7.6
