This is, by far, my favorite series on the DS. Never did I expect to like this series as much as I do.
The game is fairly simple. You read the story as it goes, and occasionally answer a question or try to solve a riddle. You also have to look for clues.
Phoenix is a lawyer, specifically a defense attorney. The game gives you (in this edition) five murder trials that get progressively harder. You have to press witnesses and find holes in testimony while walking a thin line of pissing off the judge.
I don't fully understand what's so fun about this. It may be the intriguing stories. It may be the insane comedy that pops up as it's needed. It may be the joy in catching a liar every so often.
The whole game took me around 50-60 hours to finish, so there's lots of game to be played. The *ONLY* negative thing I can say is that there is no replay value to it unless you can sit it on a shelf for a few years before you play it again. That said, the fourth in the series is about to hit the US, so there's no lack of stories to play.
As an extra bonus, while this game was VERY hard to find when it was first released, the distribution was dramatically increase with its wide popularity and the price has even been dropped to $20 for a new copy. If you have the cash, pick this one up and you won't regret it!
