Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy Review

For those of you who missed out on playing the original trilogy on the Nintendo DS, you're in luck. The objective-throwing, evidence-showing, crime-solving madman is back and better than ever. The Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney trilogy is now on consoles and Steam. The original launch on the Nintendo DS the game has been remastered and formatted to be playable on the big screen or monitor depending on preference. No more looking at a small DS screen. The Ace Attorney trilogy still delivers the same charm that it had back in 2005 and brings back the suspense and twisty moments along with it. I can say that from playing the game on my DS and playing it on PC, it brought back so many nostalgic feelings. New players to the visual novel, interactive genre might be a little reluctant to play the game, but trust me when I say give it a shot.

The gameplay is split between two parts investigations and trials. During the investigations, you interview witnesses and examine crime scenes to find evidence that you can use during witness testimonies in court. You then take your findings and display them to court to prove your client's innocence. Each piece of evidence plays an important crucial role throughout the case, some more than others.

The game is split up into three different chapters. The three chapters are the three games that were released. "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney," "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice For All," and "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations." All the chapters have multiple cases and trials where you have to prove your defendant guilty, no matter the charge. The flow of the game acts as a visual novel where you follow along and investigate crime scenes, cross-examine witness's statements to find flaws, and use everything you know to find the real culprit of the crime. Every moment where you successfully cross-examine or have an "ah ha" moment is extremely gratifying.

Each individual that you meet has a unique personality that instantly leaves a memorable mark in your mind and makes them unforgettable. When I say that every story grabs your attention and makes you constantly want to keep playing, believe me. Of course, some cases are going to be more interesting than others, but they're still interesting nonetheless. The art style of the game has drastically improved from the 2005 version, but that's expected coming from a remastered version. The colors are crisper, plus it's in perfect HD quality.

I find it a little disappointing that no new features or stories were added to the game, but that's understandable since it's just a remaster and not a whole new Phoenix Wright game.

Overall, fans new and old will enjoy the Phoenix Wright experience. The story will grab you and engulf you into its suspense and thrilling moments. This franchise is one of the many few games that has impacted the way that I play games now, and I hope that it has the same impact on you as well.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
