With some effort I've managed to make my way through Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney's final case. My advice for anyone considering playing this game would be to suspend disbelief entirely. First off all, don't actually expect much in the way of actual gameplay. It's far more a graphic novel than a game. It's all about the stories. The stories are actually anime style comedies. The humor level is decidedly corny and goofball. The characters are anime style stereotypes. The characters react with different versions of the spit take over every other line throughout the entire game. If you find this level of humor to be funny then you'll love the time spent with the game. If you're expecting something more, then you're going to be sorely disappointed with the game. I found myself a little disturbed by the world of Phoenix Wright. A world I sure as hell wouldn't want to find myself in. A world where trials are rushed through without due process. Where the prosecution is allowed to hide evidence from the defense. A world where witnesses are shown to have lied and where the judge allows them to amend said testimony therefore erasing any lie and now validating the testimony. The game seems to write the rules as it goes along to create twists and turns in the story for the sake of drama. I found that aspect more than a little annoying. It's all going to come down to whether or not you're bothered by the inconsistencies and how well you appreciate the humor. I happened to have issues with both. I'm giving Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney a 7.
