You mean you didn't already have it?! Shame!  Easily my favourite 3rd party game. The only problem I have with it is that I find it difficult to pick up and play again after having finished it once. |

and the best part? All the smutty innuendos. IN YOUR ENDO!  Come on Kirbychu (and anyone else on the forum who read Fry's post before me), you should have been all over that like white on rice. |

HOW DID I MISS THAT!? I even watched that episode this morning. Then quoted that line to a friend at lunch. I am shamed.

You mean you didn't already have it?! Shame! Easily my favourite 3rd party game. The only problem I have with it is that I find it difficult to pick up and play again after having finished it once. When the DS came out, I was so keen to keep up with Nintendo's releases that several third party options never crossed my mind. The first third party DS game I was going to buy - Bubble Bobble Revolution - was never purchased because of the abysmal boxart. I even got a letter printed in Edge magazine about that boxart (it was also alluded to in the latest issue). But Nintendo's releases have slowed right down, and the games they have released have been a major disappointment in the last few months. Neither StarFox Command nor Yoshi's Island DS feel like they were lavished with the quality I expect. They are good games, but neither of them particularly involving or enjoyable. In short - I'm extremely disappointed with Nintendo's software right now. Zelda was awesome, but when it comes to properly involving game experiences, that was it. I don't feel involved in WarioWare, Excite Truck, Wii Sports or Wii Play - I feel like I'm playing a game, rather than experiencing a story. Zelda was engrossing, Chibi-Robo before that. But I'm quickly losing patience with so many games that are either little nuggets of fun, or longer but a lot less involving than they should be. Phoenix Wright has provided me with a world filled with characters that I care about, solid game mechanics, and it makes me laugh on an increasingly frequent basis - a sign of excellent scripting. And I actually get a little disappointed when I come to the end of a storyline, because it means I'm one step closer to finishing the game! And I want it to keep going and going. Like I said - it's a soap opera. And I'm hooked! |

Phoenix Wright is the one third-party DS game I'd recommend to anyone without hesitation. Though really... I have few third-party DS games. Just Phoenix, Viewtiful Joe and Sonic Rush. Don't forget, we're getting Phoenix Wright 2 on the 16th. So if you finish it and still need more, you could always go pick that up. |

Like I said - it's a soap opera. And I'm hooked! I'm very surprised in the game, actually! I'm quite thrilled with it, and I have to agree with everything you've said above. I don't think I've cared this much about a game's characters since Tales of Symphonia. And it is really funny. |

"Isn't that the Silver Samurai's motto? 'For Great Justice'?" ;D Last time I laughed at a game that much must have been Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Although I'm pretty sure both times I was probably quite tired and a little delusional |

Well, I caved in, too.
Yet to try it, though.

Got Phoenix Wright, and it's been awesome. I really liked Edgeworth in case 4.

I picked up Phoenix Wright at last (Circuit City had it half price, woo!) and I am loving it. My fiance is getting a kick out of it too. Superbly written, I must say. I've laughed quite a bit at the game's excellent dialogue. EDIT - I've gotten into Case 4. Von Karma is the scary.  |

I have conquered the first PW and am currently in Case 3 of Justice for All. I have one wish for Trials and Tribulations - please, Capcom, please spellcheck your text before you ship it out the door, okay? The typos really do stand out. Outside of that, though, I love the games. Thanks for the recommendation!

Typos are a nightmare, but considering how much text there must be in the game, it's not that surprising. I have the same problem with books. I always spot typographical and grammatical errors when reading a book or magazine, and they really break my attention. Nearly every book ever written seems to have one in there, and I always spot it!  But then you have to remember that Capcom and other game publishers probably don't have specialist copy editors like book publishers do, so a few more errors are likely. Phoenix Wright rules anyway. I thought there was no replayability, but I'm tempted to go back and play them again just so I can have another dose of hand-slamming-OBJECTION action!! |

And I probably wouldn't have even brought it up if not for two reasons: A) The original Phoenix Wright had far fewer errors than Justice for All. There were 2 or so in the first four cases and 5-7 in the fifth. The typos in Justice for All are far more common and noticable. B) Hotel Dusk only had one that I caught. Granted, that was a Nintendo-released title, but still... I love the games, that I do. i just really want Capcom to at least reread the text somewhat carefully before shipping out the third game. I love these characters, and typos break the careful and brilliant characterizations they have worked so hard to create. |

Wouldn't they have to play test them anyway? Surely with a bunch of nerdy game testers plugging away at it, they'd notice any grammatical / spelling mistakes.
