Phoenix Wright - Ace Attorney is a great game. As a legal, mystery buff, this game appealed to me very much. Another major bonus is that it's anime (which I love). It's an entertaining,humorous and charming click and point game with plenty of reading. If reading puts you off, then do not buy this game. I repeat: do NOT buy this game. 90% of it requires reading. I, for one, loved it. I love games that require deduction and putting on your thinking cap. I love solving mysteries and cases. It's part of the reason why I love shows like Boston Legal, The Practice, Law and Order. Some people have complained that there's little gameplay and it's true - but at its heart, Phoenix Wright's gameplay is all about investigating the truth through cross-examination and listening to testimonies. You can also look for clues at a crime scene and interview key witnesses. My chest swells with (a small) victory every time I get it right.You're thrust into the role of Phoenix Wright. He's a young and budding lawyer fresh out of law school who works for Fey & Co law firm. The first case starts off with your buddy being accused of murder. Since it's Phoenix's first case, he is guided by the beautiful Mia Fey (chief) to navigate you through the jungle of legal tricks and fundamentals. The bevy of characters is an eclectic, zany bunch. I smiled in amusement at the jokes and clever dialogue. I loved how Phoenix gets tongue-tied around pretty ladies.There are a total of five cases. Each case is episodi.
