Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

What it’s about: The world of Phoenix Wright itself is an alternate reality that takes place in the year 2016. The court system has thrown away with drawn out court battles, replacing it with a system where cases happen the day after the crime and are not allowed to go longer then three days. Most times, the defendants are found guilty.

So being a defense lawyer isn’t the most rewarding job, but someone has to do it.

That someone is who the player plays, Phoenix Wright, a newbie defense lawyer fresh out of law school. The game covers five cases, the first four of the actual storyline. In each case one has to play through, proving the defendant innocent and uncover the truth behind the murder mysteries themselves.

Gameplay: The game plays as a stories that you follow with a little interaction thrown in. A player can’t move from stage to stage until one has found everything the game wants you to, and most of the time there is only one path you can take. At times this can be very frustrating, the player will know what you want to do, but doesn’t know how to do it. Also, this leads to being very easy to become stuck, and once a player is it’s hard to become unstuck.

While your chances to make choices are limited, there are instances, some essential to the game play, most not. Usually it just allows alternate dialogues, and the ‘wrong’ answers are more amusing then the right ones.

The game plays out in two modes, one where you’re examining the crime, and other in the actual court room. In the first mode the player go to all sorts of places, looking for evidence, and questioning anyone who turns up.

The second is quite fun, where one actually fights with a prosecutor, presses witnesses, and presents evidence. The important plot points of the story are played here.

In court you are given six exclamation points, mess up, lose a mark. Lose all six the defendent is found guilty,it's game over.

The dialogue is engaging, and fun to read. The characters themselves are very colorful, and while simple character types they go to the point where the make fun of themselves, and make fun of themselves brilliantly.

Graphics: The graphics are cartoony and simple, the scenes tend to flow in a comic book fomat.

Music: It’s pretty catchy, but there aren’t many different tracks, so it gets on the repetitive side.

Overall: I loved playing this game, it’s also very addictive. Playing this game is like watching a fabulous kids cartoon, it’s not complicated or a world you can imagine as real, it actually spends more time on the outrageous side but the characters, story, and world are so masterfully done, it’s hard not to see it as a work of genius. There’s a lot of enjoyment out to be had of playing this game.

Gameplay: 4/5, if it just wasn’t so frustrating at times
Graphics: 4/5
Music: 3/5
Overall: 4.5/5

You mom writes game reviews?

Also this looks OK but you could probably make it a bit better if you need/want to.

Not video games, but books.

What would you suggest?

I wouldn't use the word "baddies" and would probably delete the entire section that has them, it seems like a cheap joke that someone who hadn't played the game wouldn't even get.

There are a few other instances where you should probably edit the section a little harder, most notably the one starting with "The dialog is engaging and..." that entire section needs work. Once you fix it, look for similar errors, they are there.

Looking back at it, I agree with you about that section.

And thanks a lot, I tend to miss that but I'm going to give it a harder look.
