    Still fun games after all the years, if you haven't played or played them years ago definitely recommended :).

    Overpriced visual novel collection. Maybe looks good on tiny screens but some extra detail missing for a TV screen to play nice.

    Quitando que no está en Castellano en Steam por cosas de licencias, el port está muy bien. Los juegos es la primera vez que los juego y sí que es cierto que los dos primeros me gustan más porque el tercero no tiene mecánicas nuevas.

    Have been waiting for this for years! I finished the trilogy within 2 weeks. I've always wanted to play the trilogy since the GBA series was very popular back in the days where I lived, but I don't want to buy a console, so the PC port is a godsend. I am glad they included both languages in this version. It makes much more sense to play the game in Japanese if you speak it since the scriptHave been waiting for this for years! I finished the trilogy within 2 weeks. I've always wanted to play the trilogy since the GBA series was very popular back in the days where I lived, but I don't want to buy a console, so the PC port is a godsend. I am glad they included both languages in this version. It makes much more sense to play the game in Japanese if you speak it since the script is so funny and pun-filled. It's one of the few games that made me burst out laughing.

    The game itself is obviously great - the original trilogy has a great reputation for a reason, but really this is just a simple (or perhaps lazy) port so it has more than a few faults.

    Firstly, running the game in resolutions other than 1920x1080 makes the game blurry/fuzzy. I don't understand why this happens, since the game only consists of simple images and text.

    Secondly, it's missing a lot of features compared with other classic PC visual novels, like the backlog function (the biggest flaw of this port IMO, when I hit Enter too fast and missed the previous dialogue I have to replay from the save again), music player function, skip (if already read) function, auto advance function, a proper fast forward function (the fast forward function in the game is far too slow), gallery/CG viewer.

    Thirdly, the save selection screen is badly designed. Saves should be displayed in 2 columns and make use of the screen estate. Talking about save, 10 save slots is unacceptable for a PC visual novel since disk space should not be a problem. There should be 50 slots IMO.

    Since every episode is so long, I felt that they should have split each episode into few sections, like "1st Day - Detective", "1st Day - Trial", "2nd Day - Detective", "2nd Day - Trial - Part 1"... etc. Once the player have cleared the episode he should be able to select and play from his favourite section.

    Finally I think there should be a bonus mode which features all the characters' models (emotions/gestures/animation) and voices, and staff credits for each game. I want to watch the credits again for the epilogue but I don't want to play again from the beginning.

    The game's barebone state can be frustrating sometimes, but in the end it's still very fun to play thanks to its cleverly written story and script and updated graphics. Whether you've played it or not, I am sure you will enjoy it.    … Expand

    This series has some of the most memorable characters of any game franchise. I went into these games expecting not to like them much, but came out of it absolutely loving just about everything about the games. Sure the gameplay isn't the most action packed, but that's not the type of game it is.

    A little more, and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, included in the game, will start to resemble movies well - with each new reissue they get a little better, but the fact that they are outdated cannot be blamed in any way.

    Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy is a polished version of an already almost perfect trilogy filled with more quirky characters and complex mu

    The only thing missing is the Spanish version. But thank goodness there is a mod for that.

    This lawyer trilogy, standing somewhere between a game, a book and a TV show, finally found its way West and brings hours of great fun. Just be prepared to read. A LOT.

    A successful PC port with exceptional storytelling that lacks important control options and falls short of expectations in certain technical areas.

    A stunning remaster of one of the greatest game trilogies of all time. Whether you've played them before or just want to relive the magic, this is definitely worth picking up.
