Games Similar to Phoenix Wright?

Hey, so I just finished playing through Phoenix Wright and now I'm in the mood for some similar games. It doesn't have to be the exact type, but I would like it to have the same feeling as games like Phoenix Wright and Trauma Center. That whole lots of character focus and unique gameplay feeling they both had.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Perhaps Professor Layton and the Curious Village will take your fancy when it releases?

Indeed, it will be. Looks pretty good, Official Nintendo Magazine gave it a 92%.

How about Hotel Dusk? You have to investigate and question people and solve a mystery.

I enjoyed Prof Layton. :)

Hotel Dusk: Room 215.Lyphe2k

A note: As far as I know it has a great storyline. If you enjoy reading novel or great story, it is a good "game".

Well but this "game" is not really a "game". It lags behind when it comes to gameplay. For example, you are not allowed to investigate other things or even talk to someone when the game doesn't suppose you to do. You act like a puppet in the game. The game is extremely linear. You either go to a dead end (game over) or the game just goes on. You have so little influence to feel you are part of the game. The puzzles are anything but challenging. They're simply too easy to give the player any sense of accomplishment. There are many dumb puzzles like trying to turn doorknobs, un-bend paperclips and other such inane tasks. It's an exercise of your hand rathr than a true puzzle.

In short, it's a good interactive book but don't expect it's a "game" to play. That's what I understand about this "game". Read the reviews to find out the details:

Since you name Trauma Center, I wonder if you are going to like Cooking mama.

It's a cooking action (simulation) game. It has unique gameplay. You use the stylus to perform a lot of cooking tasks. It can be a lot of fun if you like this kinds of gameplay. But it doesn't have storyline unlike Trauma Center. The character is just your mama. Perhaps you may like it. Who knows? :-D

Play the direct sequels Justice for all and Trials and Tribulations (as stated by the poster above me). If you're still in the mood, then play Apollo Justice. (I haven't played that one yet though).

I guess those are as similar as you could possibly get! And their fun titles too...at least IMO.

Yeah I'll say either Hotel Dusk: Room 215 or Trace Memory

LifeSigns: Surgical Unit is a little bit like Phoenix Wright mixed in with a little Trauma Center (I did not think this game was that good though)

Also if you have not play the Apollo Justice game you can try that.
