Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
February 28, 2008 — store
A Great Start
I haven’t finished yet, but Apollo Justice stands up to everything that Phoenix Wright was before him. Quirk characters as well as surprising turns in the trials is just as prevelant as it was in the original three. Although the characters from the originals aren’t in there (or most of them anyway), Apollo has a lot of new characters to offer that are just as entertaining. Don’t be fooled though, Phoenix is still in the game, but in a decidedly different role. The gameplay is very similiar to Phoenix’s games while also introducing some features that only a DS could bring to life, such as examining the evidence from all sides, as was introduced in the fifth case of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (Rise from the Ashes. The features didn’t follow through to any other game until now).
Although my favorite characters from the original three aren’t involved, Apollo Justice is a lot better than I thought it would be, and I would be extrememly happy to see another come out as a sequel to this game.
