Clever and challenging. Phoenix wright is a great idea yet a little too drawn out.

Phoenix wright, joe bloggs one any only chance to experience the thrills of a defence lawyer. I have personaly always been a fan of new ideas and inventive gameplay and phoenix wright delivers in spadefulls. Using evidence and logic, players are really challenged to save the accused client. Pieceing these clues together takes a lot of brainpower and even if you know who is guilty you have to show evidence. Sure it doesn't sound like the most appealing game, but the self rewards you get when discoveing an inacuracy in a witnesses statement is very satisfing.
In certain cases the player is at the scene of the crime and must talk to witnesses and collect clues. This can be a little tedious but the suspence leading to the courtcase is built up nicely because of this. The characters in the game are supebly outrageous and also quite humerous. The japanese anime feel to the game is not my cup of tea but is very outrageous. This game is not perfect by a long shot but for being completly and utterly unique it deserves plaudits. I dare say if you like a good puzzle phoenix wright will not dissapoint.
