Nintendo DS - Phoenix Wright : Ace Attorney
Because legal wrangling seemingly is fun in portable form, let's take a look at the Nintendo DS's Phoenix Wright : Ace Attorney.
It seems that the best games for the DS is the weird unique games, the games that you don't see everyday and offer up gameplay that is something completely new from the usual cut and paste games you've seen in the past.
Games like this, or Trauma Center : Under the Knife, Trace Memory or the dog raising sim known as NintenDogs. Games you don't usually see on, say, the PS2 or the XBox the GameCube, games that offer up something new for the gameplay buck.
And really who wouldn't want to give a game about legal wrangling a chance!
Starring a guy who looks like he's related to Roger Smith (Big O), and offering up a who's who cast of anime like characters on both the good and bad side, you are thrust into the world of legal wrangling and Law & Order Japanese style courtroom antics. From what I've seen of the game you'll have to do some sleuthing to investigate each case (including a case where you are the guilty party), and then take it to court and shake down lying witnesses until the truth sets your client free (especially if said client happens to be you, even if convential legal logic says that you would have a fool for a client if you hire yourself for your own defense... well, at least you're not trying to fool yourself so that you don't arrest yourself for a murder you have no memory commiting (Indigo Prophecy for the PS2))
The best thing about this game is the use of the voice unit on the Nintendo DS, which is used when you yell into it the word of all words -- "OBJECTION!"
That's right. If you need to break into the oppositions questioning and get a word in edgewise you scream "OBJECTION!!"
If you need to question the witness or rebute the lies say "OBJECTION!!"
If you need to blow off steam or just fluster the witness, yell "OBJECTION!!"
Heck, yell "OBJECTION!!" for no good reason whatsover. Go on, do it!
Of course you probably shouldn't play this game in an actual courtroom, or in a place where silence is golden (like a hospital waiting room), but if you can a place where yelling "OBJECTION!!" is acceptible then go for it! Yell "OBJECTION!!" all you want! Yell away!!
As for the cases? I'll leave that for the actual review, and I do plan to review this soon enough. Once I get ahold of this game I should have a better look at it, but if what I've seen is half of what the game is about then I'm going to love reviewing this... in the near future.
Next week (hopefully on time next time) I'll take a look at another one of the games worth checking out for the DS, Trace Memory, the game that's a little bit Myst and a little bit anger management tester. Next week... hopefully, again, on time for once.
