If you're looking for a reason to purchase a Nintendo DS...this game is it right here.
I have never played something so intense as Phoenix Wright. The action in this game takes place in the courtroom as you systematically attempt to break down the prosecution's case piece by piece. When I first heard about this game I though "Wow, how boring". Boy was I wrong.
The characters in this game really bring everything to life, the writing is so good you'll feel like you're listening to people actually talk and not just reading text. The music, the story, the characters, everything just sucks you right into this little world and refuses to let go until you've experienced it from beginning to end.
The game really gets edgy during the closing moments of the different courtroom trials. Sometimes you'll mess up and be left with only one chance to blow open the whole case and expose the truth. I actually found myself sweating as I chose my answers and questions towards the end, in fear that I would frig up and have my client convicted of a crime you know he didn't commit.
I can't say anything bad about this game at all. Honestly nothing comes to mind. My only regret is that I didn't find this series sooner.
