Pheonix Wright: Ace Attorney DS review!

Format: Nintendo DS or DS Lite
Price: £29.99 new or variable on eBay
Company: Capcom
Players: 1

Pheonix Wright: Ace Attorney is a game where you, as the titular Attorney of law, have to gather evidence and then go to Court to try and win a "Not Guilty" verdict for your clients over 5 different "cases".

The first case is a fairly simple Murder charge, the guy being charged didn't do it, he was just an unfortunate sap who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and you owe him a favour...

Throughout the game you collect various pieces of evidence to try and prove your client's innocence, and then there's the exciting Courtroom drama parts of the game where you have to listen to witness testimonies, cross examine witnesses and produce evidence to disprove the Prosecution witness's claims.

Graphically the game is pretty excellent, fully utilising the DS's potential, and the audio features of the game are equally tops... In fact it's pretty hard to fault any aspect of this game to be honest, probably the best DS game I've bought so far in the 2 months I've had my DS.

So overall, if you're tired of constant Mario themed platformers and licensed movie tie-ins on your DS, give Pheonix Wright a try, you'll probably really like it, beware though it does take quite a bit of patience to get through the cases and it's not always blitheringly obvious what to do...

Overall final score for Pheonix Wright: Ace Attorney - 89%
