 Not as good as the original, but still fun April 22, 2008
I bought this game after playing, and loving the first phoenix wright game, and I'm a little dissapointed. Where the first game was clever and required some thinking, this game is mostly just frusterating. I often find myself having no idea what to do, and just randomly presenting evidence until I find the right item. When I do find the right piece of evidence, it sometimes doesn't make any sense, and there's no way to have known the right thing to do without guessing. That issue aside, it's still a pretty fun game. The new psyche-lock feature adds a new challenge and is very entertaining. The stories are just as ridiculous as before, and I've had a good time playing it. I wouldn't reccomend this game for someone who hasn't played the original phoenix wright, but if you love the series then you'll have a good time.
 Good times! April 14, 2008
This game has had me addicted since I first put it in my ds. It's filled with a catchy story line and very interesting and humorous characters. I've laughed out loud several times while I've been playing it. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys puzzle games.
i'm in love! March 27, 2008

I absolutely can not stress how brilliant this game is. I have the first Phoenix Wright and fell in love with that game, and i bought the 2nd and wondered if it would be as good as the 1st since it didn't have 5 cases and only 4. I didn't need to worry, it's just as brilliant. The cases last long too, although the first was quite short the rest werent. And the last one was my favourite, just when you thought it was all over, some new twist would happen to truly shock you and leave you playing for a while yet. All the cases were superbly written, and oh so clever.
New characters like Maya's cousin Pearl and Proscecuter Franziska Von Karma, are brilliant additions. And it's the silly things in the game that make it brilliant too, like Von Karma's desire for whipping everyone in court. You wouldn't get that in real life, but it doesn't matter because it's so great and funny. And old faces like Detective Gumshoe, who is always hilarious, and the handsome Miles Edgeworth well they are great. And yes, I just called a computer character handsome but he is!
This game makes you feel like you are there and you truly begin to care about the characters and it feels like a little family, everyone cares for each other. Some people might call this sad, but who cares. I just love this game so much, i'm gonna play the 1st all over again. I can't wait for the third Phoenix Wright, but that's a while off yet in the U.K
Please buy this game, your life will be so much better for it!
 So stupid March 26, 2008

I was looking for a fun investigation game and tried this one. This game is so stupid. Don't even bother. I did try another, "Touch Detective" and although it's probably aimed towards a younger player, it is fun and very cute. The "CSI: Dark Motives" game is fun too. Stay away from Ace Attorney though, it is just absurd.
 A slight step in the wrong direction from the first in the series, but still a valued glimpse at the defense. March 5, 2008
While not mandatory, it is highly recommended that the original Ace Attorney is completed prior to starting Justice for All. Justice finds the return of our investigative hero Phoenix Wright to the courtroom. While still a good game in it's own right, it feels to almost be a minor step backwards. The cases are still just as good and intriguing as the original Ace Attorney, unfortunately, that is where the similarities to the first game end. Justice does introduce a few new characters, including Maya's cousin Pearl and Pearl's mother Morgan, who are introduced in a case in which Maya is accused of murder while trying to channel a spirit, and Franziska von Karma, daughter of legendary prosecutor Manfred von Karma who (spolier alert ... I told you to play the original Ace Attorney first ...) unsuccessfully attempted to frame Miles Edgeworth for a murder in a case linked to the DL-6 Incident, only to have the truth come out that Manfred was the real murderer in both cases. Franziska, a 14-year old prodigy of an attorney out of Germany, has made her way to the courtroom with the sole purpose of embarrassing Wright in court. The game also features the return of a character who has a bit of a surprise in store for Wright in the courtroom, but what fun would it be if I ruined it for you?
As mentioned, I felt this game to be a bit of a setp in the wrong direction. While the gameplay delivers the same intensity of the cases of the original, the DS-specific funtions (testing for blood and fingerprints) previously introduced have not returned. While the sound and music is of the same quality, the graphics, while still pretty to look at, simply feel recycled and the value of the game is undermined by the fact that only the four cases were included. While this might still be a nice package, it feels short-changed because the original Ace Attorney had an additional case. It is understandable that the original cases did not include the DS functions because, like the first Ace Attorney, this is a GameBoy Advance port. However, it was nice to have that additonal case made specifically for the DS in the first installment. That being said, one positive about the game is the inclusion of Mya Fey's mysterious Magatama, a spiritual medallion that, once gifted to Wright, allows him to tell when people are hiding information from him (although it's only useable during the investiagtion phase). Once Phoenix is alerted by the Magatama, he delvs deeper to try to discover the information that the witness wants to keep secret. He can do this by presenting evidence that contradicts the excuses that the witness comes up with.
While still wanting to review the game in it's own right, I felt that the comparisons made in this review were necessary because the game felt shortchanged in more ways than one. Overall, this is still a welcome addition to the Phoenix Wright series and an absolute can't-miss if you enjoyed the first one.
