Is it still worth playing?
First released for the Game Boy Advance in 2002 in Japan, with a Nintendo DS version in 2006, this is a visual novel adventure. The player is Phoenix Wright, a defense attorney who defends people accused of murder in four episodes. Only one is available at first, and solving a case unlocks the next. Each episode is divided into chapters of courtroom sections and investigation sections. During the investigation the player gathers evidence for the trial from a menu with four options: examine, move, present and talk. Examine moves a cursor around the screen to look at the environment, and move opens a sub-menu of locations. Maya Fey, his investigative partner, is among the characters. Defending a client by catching a contradiction is still a good reason to play.
