Pros & Cons

  • good muziek, fun murder mysteries, refreshing gameplay, lengthy chapters, character and pace
  • objections about grammatical mistakes, like the first game, very linear, certainly a niche title, overly verbose and yappy

With six months experience and five victories under his belt, the name Phoenix Wright is synonymous with "success". But with newspaper headlines screaming "Ghost Commits Perfect Murder" and "Flying Phantom at the Big Top", Phoenix’s new cases already seem unsolvable. And if that weren’t enough, there’s a ruthless new D.A. in town.

  • Four shocking new cases in first person perspective!
  • New "Psyche-Lock" Feature - some witnesses hide the truth! Use a line of questioni…

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All is a visual novel adventure video game developed and published by Capcom for the Nintendo DS video game console. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All is an updated port of the Game Boy Advance game Gyakuten Saiban 2. Like Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, it features touch screen, microphone, and dual screen support, but does not have any new cases. The game is a single player game with a CERO: A / ESRB: T / OFLC: PG / PEGI: 12+ rating.

Features

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All features a change where a player can now present the profiles of people involved with the case, in addition to the evidence in the Court Record. The game features from first person perspective through four new cases with two distinct gameplay segments - In the Investigation Phase where players survey crime scenes, interview witnesses and gather evidence that will be used in court; in Court Phase, where players present findings from the investigation to support the case, listen to testimonies, examine witnesses, and determine fact from fiction to prove the client’s innocence. The game features the New Psyche-Lock, where players unlock several locks that have been placed over a witness’ heart in order to reveal the truth. The Psyche-Lock occurs only during the Investigation phase, and is observed when trying to following a line of questioning with a person involved in the case. When it is revealed that the person has one or more Psyche-Locks, the player can then initiate breaking of those locks. The player will be asked to point out evidence or a location to complete a question being asked; if the correct evidence is used, one Psyche-Lock will be broken or may lead to an additional question. If the incorrect choice is made, the player takes health damage. The player can cancel the breaking attempt if he feels he doesn’t have the right piece of evidence without any penalty; all of the locks will reappear the next time the breaking attempt is made.

    For those reasons, Fragland judges that; is a fun, immersive and well-filled adventure that at times reminds of the old PC adventures, combined with nicely created characters and a couple of excellent storylines. Gamers that have followed the previous case will experience some déjà-vu moments but newcomers can expect more of the same refreshing court cases with a sent of Japanese charm.

  2. Justice may be blind, but she sure isn't succinct in this courtroom adventure.

    When it comes down to the final verdict, though, the jury weighs in with a not guilty and Wright receives a hard-won acquittal. Despite Justice For All 's flaws, the game really does offer a rather goofy series of brain-bending challenges. There's a wonderful sense of accomplishment to be had when, during the courtroom scenes, the stupid psyche-lock system is abandoned and players, using only their wits, tear the heart out of a witnesses' testimony. And, of course, any... Read more

    Just like the most famous of the courtroom films, the emphasis here is not on action, and if you are looking for that then go elsewhere. Phoenix Wright is essentially a long, interactive cut-scene, and many will tire quickly of what it has to offer. But 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. Lawyer-sims are thin on... Read more

    A good defense never rests. Wright proves he still has what it takes in Capcom’s localization of its second lawyer simulation. Read more

    Are you a Law and Order fan and find yourself always riveted to the TV screen while the court section of the episode is on? Do you tune in to Boston Legal every week, not to see the crazy antics and goofy characters, but rather see the courtroom drama? If so, Phoenix Wright might be for you, as it plays like an interactive novel detailing the adventures of a defense attorney. Do you have the skills to seek out the truth, find the inconsistencies, and yell out... Read more

    Take Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Justice for All for what it is. Anyone looking for a sequel with radical innovations may want to reconsider. If you're like me, though, and you enjoyed the first game so much that you ... Read more
