    The series is over a decade old now, but you’ll find that the story and dialogue are still as witty and charming as ever.

    For those who like the sound of a lawyer simulator, with plenty of plot to delve into, no objections should be made when deciding to purchase Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy.

    It’s not perfect, but there really should be no objection to letting Phoenix Wright into your life.

    With no new features aside from the rudimentary 3D, this collection is meant to satisfy those who haven’t come to love the unique and colorful world of Phoenix Wright.

    It's not a perfect port, but this is a massive, faithful, and wonderful inexpensive collection of three terrific adventure games.

    It's a pity that Capcom did not invest time and money in this collection, as these are among the best titles that have ever graced the Nintendo DS. No extras, no localization for the Italian market and a steep price cannot be ignored.

    I will admit I am a little biased as I do think no game is "Perfect." Id rate this a 9.8 if I had the option. The thing about AAT is that itI will admit I am a little biased as I do think no game is "Perfect." Id rate this a 9.8 if I had the option. The thing about AAT is that it takes ALL 3 Games from the ds and outs it into around a 65 HOUR game for $30! The characters music game play and more just flows so nice together. Do yourself a favor and play AAT NOW… Expand

I took off one point mainly because of one case in the second game ... the infamous Barry's Big Top.… Expand

    A genuinely remarkable group of games which should be on your radar no matter who you are.

    Ace Attorney is a series I can recommend to    A genuinely remarkable group of games which should be on your radar no matter who you are.

    Ace Attorney is a series I can recommend to almost anybody, you like a good read? Even one of these games is longer than your standard novel and will keep you enthralled for almost the entirety of its runtime. You an anime fan? Well you'll love the games anime-esque character design. You like crying your eyes out over incredibly emotional and hard hitting stories? You'll love the third game in particular, but the third game relies heavily on your knowledge of the first two, so have fun playing them.

    The only flaw with the games is that each game has "third case syndrome" which means the third level, or "case" as the series calls them, is often very slow, boring and feels a lot like filler because of its lack of plot significance, Roundabout Big Top, the third case of the second game is particularly bad. The original sprite work also suffers a tad, while originally they were sprites and were obviously pixilated, now that they've been given a HD redo, they can look a little empty in certain poses, like there's missing detail. Not a huge issue, certainly a nitpick, but with a series so amazing, it's hard to find gripes that aren't nitpicks

    In my opinion, the series positives outweigh the negatives tenfold, the story, the music, the characters, the music, the art, did I say the music already? It's all so fantastic and more than worth your time, do yourself a favour and pick this trilogy up.    … Expand

    This game is a mix of detective work and defense attorney work. It's has a lot of texts to read. If you are looking for good gameplay, thisThis game is a mix of detective work and defense attorney work. It's has a lot of texts to read. If you are looking for good gameplay, this game will be horrible; if you are looking for lore, the game will be good.

    Strengths:
    . Cheap (for PC)
    . Catchy characters and memorable facial expressions.
    . Lore
    . Estimulates players' logical thinking
    . themes songs

    Weaknesses:

    . To find the contradictions you have to follow a predefined script by the producer. Sometimes you find a contradiction, but you can't expose it yet, because you have to "respect" the script.
    . Gameplay (looks like a flash game made in the 90s)
    . There are no dubs for the characters' lines (more texts to read throughout the game)

    O jogo é uma mescla de trabalho de detetive e de advogado de defesa. É um jogo de muita leitura de texto. Se vc procura boa jogabilidade, o jogo será horrível; se procura lore, o jogo será bom.
    Pontos positivos:
    . Barato (para PC)
    . Personagens cativantes e expressões faciais memoráveis.
    . Lore
    . Estimula o pensamento lógico dos jogadores
    . Musicas dos temas dos personagens

    Pontos negativos:
    . Para encontrar as contradições você tem que seguir um script pré definido pela produtora. às vezes você encontra alguma contradição, mas não pode a expor ainda pq tem que "respeitar" o script.
    . Jogabilidade (parece jogo feito no flash na década de 90)
    . Não possui dublagens para as falas das personagens (ler texto o jogo inteiro)    … Expand
