Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Justice For All has all the best elements of text adventures, Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books, crime thriller television shows and 'who-dun-it' novels, with a dash of point-and-click adventure games and in my book that makes for a great gaming experience. If you are not familiar with the Phoenix Wright formula it has created a genre unto itself in which the player investigates and then litigates a series of murder cases. The characters are mostly charming and through just a few variations in their animations are able to express themselves surprisingly well. I found that as with the first game, at times, Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney could be tedious and exacting in when it would allow you to present evidence, something that the developers could only get around by introducing branching paths. Some of the evidence presentations, at least for me, could only be worked out using a FAQ. I enjoyed this sequel as much as I did the original, but as noted while playing through the first game I encountered a glitch that caused me to miss what I later found out was the most compelling case in the game (for which I deducted a point for technical failure). So since this is essentially the same game I'm giving it the same score with an extra point for not breaking this time around. |
