The editors liked

  • Interesting courtcases
  • Mentally challenging
  • Intelligently written with plenty of twists
  • Game still looks great due to it being developed specifically for the Nintendo DS
  • Good use of unique Nintendo DS/3DS features to solve mini-games
  • Decent selection of cases to play
  • Klavier Gavin is a worthy opponent
  • Updated graphics and DS features
  • Intense final chapter

The editors didn't like

  • Been there
  • Done that
  • It can drag sometimes.
  • But the cases are not as complex as those faced by original protagonist Phoenix Wright
  • Can get quite frustrating to try to progress at times and also put up with jumping through many figurative hoops to get to locations
  • Could have been improved wit
  • Apollo's lack of charm
  • Seeing Phoenix down and out
  • Some DS features are underwhelming

  • Abstract:  Capcom gives its Gyakuten Saiban (Reverse Trial) series a makeover for its first game in the series designed to take more advantage of the DS’s unique capabilities. The first three games (known as the Phoenix Wright series in the U.S.) were more re...

  • Abstract:  Spiky is still in style. Over the last few years, Capcoms off-beat Ace Attorney games have grown a cult following in western markets. Originally released only in Japan, Phoenix Wright became a beloved international character as Capcom re-released the...

  • Abstract:  The Ace Attorney games have always been exclusive to the Nintendo DS in North America, but they were essentially ports of the Japanese games, which were originally released on the GameBoy Advance. Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney marks the first time a gam...

  • New forensic investigation abilities add muchneeded variety, Improved visual presentation, Last case is quite interesting and provides a good payoff.
  • Flaws such as slow pacing and linear, trialanderror gameplay are still here, Forensic investigation tools are underused, New characters arent as charming and interesting as the old ones.
  • Fans of the previous Ace Attorney games will appreciate the new touch-screen mechanics and improved presentation, but these changes dont do much to spice up the series often slow and tedious pacing. ...

  • New touch-screen features and video enriches the experience; great storyline.
  • In some ways, feels too much like the other games, but with a new cast.
  • Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney marks the turning of a new leaf in the beloved Ace Attorney franchise. If you loved the cool touch-screen controls in the final case of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, get ready for four more cases in that vein, plus plenty o...

  • Abstract:  I was a big fan of the Phoenix Wright series. Note that I said was. When I first got my taste of the kooky, over-the-top court room drama, it was pretty much love at first "Objection!"

  • Abstract:  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 ...

  • Abstract:  Capcom's wacky courtroom series contradicts real life: The legal system shouldn't be fun but Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney manages to make typical humdrum hearings exciting. Like the previous Phoenix Wright games, Justice puts you in the role of a rooki...

  • Abstract:  The Nintendo DS has seen a number of unique titles with developers really using it as a test bed for ideas they probably have had kicking around their head for a while. One such popular series is Phoenix Wright, a game which places you in the role of a...
