Such an AMAZINGLY great game!

User Rating: 9 | Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All DS
Before this series came into my life, I had minimal exposure to text-based games. One of them being a copy of the hentai "You Like Horny Bunnies? 2" and a few installments of the Famicom Detective Club, poorly translated nonetheless. But, when Phoenix Wright first appeared at E3 in 2005, I figured that I'd give it a shot, detective work and compelling stories is a great combination. So, it was as I expected, incredible. So, when the next in the series came out, I expected more of the same.
I thought it would be impossible to improve on the stories of the first game, but the 2nd and last missions were exciting and enthralling. Something about the Berry Big Circus case was slightly frustrating. More than any other case, it would leave you without any clue as to what to do next. So, that mission to particularly long to do, and in the end it generally didn't feel very rewarding. The second case once again puts Maya on trial for a murder she supposedly committed during a spiritual channeling. This was a great case, with a shocking twist, and the last mission is beyond words. I was disappointed that they didn't implement the 3-dimensional evidence checking tool from the last mission of the first game. It was a very promising feature.
In retrospect, the moments that you leave you lost are indeed frustrating, but when you figure out what to do you tend to forget about it. The missions are great, and with the next one coming up in September, I can only bide my time.
