This is a fantastic game and is well up to the standards of the "Ace Attorney" series. It brings new things to the table, but still keeps the things what made the original great. However I didn't give it 5 stars because of the lack of a bonus 5th DS exclusive case that featured in the original.

Admittidly, at first, I was a bit sceptical to buying a lawyer game. "How on earth is there any fun in playing as a lawyer on a video game?" I thought, but, having heard the high praises for the game I was curious and decided to buy it.
I was amazed at the amount of depth the game had, and how fun "lawyering " could actually be! With some great attention to detail, wonderful pixel art, and a whole host of funny and at times bizarre characters, I was left wanting more after completing the cases.
However, if there is one thing I would say against the game, it is that it is too short, and , while I appreciate the amount of time that must have been put into each case, I was dissapointed with there only being 4.
Having said this, Phoenix Wright is still undoubtably a great game worth every penny, and I`m still left eager for the next installment!

I brought the first one got bored and got rid of it, How wrong i was to do that. I recently decided to give it another go except i accidently brought the 2nd one :p but in 2 days of having it i have been unable to put it down, even at work ^^ its an amazing game that draws you in and makes you really get into been pheonix wright. you start trying to figure out the case in your own mind, except you cant apply it to the game. provides a lot of gaming time and can take a while to complete. i am yet to finish it but i really cant wait to shut the 2nd case. yes there is a lot of reading involved like hotel dusk but me and my girlfriend love both games and its like a book you just dont want to put down. worth buying in my opinion altho i recommend playing the first one before hand.
