With an interesting mix of supporting characters to help him, Apollo Justice will defend against top prosecutor Klavier Gavin in four compelling cases.

Description

Created specifically for Nintendo DS, the T-rated game allows players to guide the young lawyer’s investigation through the touch screen. Once in the courtroom, players cross-examine the witnesses and plead their case to the hardliner judge. Superior graphics allow players to totally immerse themselves in the storyline. Players can also make use of the forensic tools to dust for fingerprints, test for trace chemicals or remix sound tracks to reveal hidden sounds. Although gathering mixed reviews due to the reportedly slow pacing in the story, Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney offers a satisfyingly interesting final case for die-hard fans.

    "Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney" is an extremely tired and jaded release from Capcom. The series has been going for years, but has seen basically no new innovations.The 3D evidence is a mixed addition at best.If you are a big fan of the series, then you'll probably buy the game anyway, but if you wanted to try this kind of game out, you'd be much better off with the original game- it's pretty similar, has a storyline that requires no previous knowledge of the series, an...

    With a reboot of the Ace Attorney series, I was hoping for some serious streamlining. Less convoluted investigation movement and more flexible evidence presentation (just accept both “knife” and “picture of knife”!) would have been great, but the revamped animations, amusing (but simple) minigames, and excellent story help make up for it. The developers somehow crafted a tale that opens the door for newcomers and at the same time rewards longtime fans. Apollo and his ... Read more

    by Joseph Catalanotto Before the DS, anybody would have called you insane to hear you talking about a video game in which you play a lawyer. But thanks to Nintendo's nifty little portable, such conversation is perfectly acceptable. The immense popularity of the first three North American-released Phoenix Wright games has thankfully given way to the release of a fourth. Same old? Not exactly. Read more
