The humour from the original game returns in full flow, too. A lot of the dialogue is laugh out loud funny. [JPN Import]
-
More of the same courtroom drama so fans shouldn’t be disappointed. [JPN Import]
-
Nintendo PowerThe verdict is in: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice for All is another superb graphic-text adventure from the folks at Capcom. [Feb. 2007, p.96]
-
Justice For All gives the fans everything they could want; the cases are longer, the testimonies are harder to crack, the witnesses ever so wily, and the prosecutors are more die-hard than anything you’ve faced.
-
Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Justice For All picks up right where its predecessor started, offering one of the best adventure game experiences available on any current console.
-
While the game design has its issues and the localization bloopers are regretful, I still found myself glued to the DS—on my second play through.
-
I hope that future Phoenix Wright titles are able to keep the character and plot development at the same level achieved in Phoenix Wright: Justice For All.
-
Justice is a terrific game, but it suffers in comparison with the previous one. This time around the plot twists aren’t quite as unexpected (you usually know who the real killer is fairly early on), and some of the puzzles in the last case are rather unreasonable.
-
While the game doesn’t deviate too much from the tried and true formula that has made the series such a hit in Japan, it still delivers a game experience worth playing.
-
With excellent writing and clever puzzles, this quirky little story adventure alternates between logical deduction and unexpected discoveries.
-
Games Master UKMore of an expansion of the first Phoenix as opposed to a fresh new game, but still great. [Mar 2007, p.83]
-
The few tweaks to the mechanics provide a better experience, complete with the tricky puzzles and amusing dialog that make the original so notable. [JPN Import]
-
This is the most joyfully daft fun imaginable, bursting with in-jokes and hilarious set-pieces. [JPN Import]
-
The cases are fun and challenging, the presentation quirky and likable, and the gameplay is as sharp as a tack. If you have any objection to buying this game, consider yourself overruled. It's just too good to pass up. [JPN Import]
-
A compelling mix of dark plots, kooky stories and lawyer talk, Justice for All adds more evidence to the DS's case as the thinking person's console.
-
It's the most laid back and addictive game we've ever played, where simple five minute blasts turn into hour-long sessions.
-
What it lacks in advance graphics and interface, JFA more than makes up for in charm and intrigue. [Jan 2007, p.115]
-
For those fans captivated by the first instalment, buying this is an absolute must. [JPN Import]
-
Still, Justice For All demonstrates enough of the plucky spirit that made the first game so memorable. [Feb. 2007, p.82]
-
The charm and clever logic puzzles are still here, and the cases deliver the same charge-back-from-the-edge-of-defeat rush that made the first game so cool.
-
Almost more like an expansion than a full sequel. The changes made are very minor, with the exception of the Psyche Lock system, and those who've played the first game will be able to jump right into the second. However, rather than being a disappointment, this is a very good case of the old adage, "If it isn't broken, don't fix it."
-
With fresh new cases to tackle this is another fun chapter fans will enjoy.
-
Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Justice For All may seem short at four chapters, but rest assured that it is extremely lengthy, especially if you make a lot of mistakes.
-
The core gameplay that made the first game so great is still here, and considering that most fans of the original are undoubtedly eager for more, this game will certainly quench their thirst... for justice!
-
AceGamezThe gameplay had become more complicated and in turn more frustrating, and the story wasn't nearly as strong as Ace Attorney's.
-
While not as good as the original, Phoenix Wright and his comrades still manage to entertain and deliver with a fantastic script and engaging courtroom drama.
-
If you crave for more humour in games and are looking for drama and tension without having to dabble in drawn out RPGs or nerve-wracking twitch games, then Justice for All might just be for you.
-
Nintendo GamerThe game overcomes its scrolling-through-text flaws with strong writing and entertaining graphics. [JPN Import; January 2007, p.69]
-
If you loved Ace Attorney, go buy Justice for All. If you were hoping for new features to get you hooked or make the game better, though, you may want to pass. It's a fun game, but it's more like an expansion.
-
It's admittedly hard to ignore the rigid structure as well as the gaping and slightly frustrating plot flaws, but it's also hard to hate Phoenix Wright because of them.
-
Phoenix Wright is pure coolness. If you can handle the slower pace and very different style of gameplay, then this is one of the best titles available on the DS.
-
Justice for All is a good, lengthy adventure with great character-driven storylines, but it fails to build upon the promising groundwork laid by the first game.
-
While by no means an accurate simulation of legal process, there's no denying the soapy dramatics, rich and endearing characters, and delightful wordplay puzzles make this a winner.
-
In a nutshell, it’s a satisfactory entry into the Phoenix Wright series without much deviation from the original. And so I bring down the gavel.
-
Play MagazineDespite its noxious flaws, the game offers great amounts of logic-based puzzle solving, intrigue, and investigation. [Dec. 2006, p.88]
-
Great game, great story, more Phoenix Wright righteousness. There's a lack of evolution, but we expect that to change in future.
