All in all, if you loved the Phoenix Wright games, you’ll love this game just as well. The gameplay is essentially the same: Watch the crime through an intro, investigate the crime by interviewing characters and searching for clues, and then go to court and use your evidence and knowledge to extrapolate the truth from the person on the witness stand. Great dialogue and music help the game live up to the quality of the Phoenix Wright series, but new gameplay additions specific to the DS, and even added touches such as FMV’s (yep!!) help this game stand out so you don’t feel like it is just a rehash of the same old stuff. While the game does include characters and other surprises from the previous games, don’t expect everything to be cleared up or you’ll be disappointed as I was. Apollo Justice is its own story and an interesting one at that, and it’ll be exciting to see where it goes.
