Product Description
Step into the shoes of a slick young lawyer in Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice - the fourth game in the thrilling courtroom series that puts your skills as a solicitor on trial. Featuring a cast of dynamic new characters and four fascinating cases for you to cut your teeth on, Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice brings all the drama of an action-packed crime thriller directly to your DS. The first game in the series crafted specifically for the DS, Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice puts you in charge of title character Apollo Justice at the outset of his legal career. Controlling the game almost exclusively by pointing and clicking on the DS Touch Screen, you must guide Apollo through an investigation phase before defending clients in the courtroom. During the investigation phase you gather evidence by interviewing witnesses and scouring crime scenes for clues. After you've built a case, you must stand before a judge and defend the innocence of your client by cross-examining witnesses and revealing your findings. Whichever case you are working on, you can expect to become immersed in the deep and entertaining storylines that have become a trademark of the Ace Attorney games. As well as introducing Apollo, the game marks the arrival of several more fascinating characters to the series. There's Apollo's assistant; the young magician Trucy, who's mysterious powers can help you to tell when a witness is giving false evidence. There are also brothers Klavier and Kristoph Gavin - one a rock star and ace prosecutor and the other a level-headed lawyer who is always on hand with helpful tips for Apollo. On top of that, you'll cross paths with the star of the previous Ace Attorney games, Phoenix Wright, in the most dramatic of circumstances. In some of the toughest cases in the Ace Attorney series yet, you'll have to unravel multi-layered mysteries, defend more seemingly indefensible causes and even persuade a jury of your client's innocenc

 Great game! August 18, 2008
I really enjoyed this game, but of course I also enjoyed all the other Phoenix Wright games as well. Love the fact that you can get close to some objects and dust for prints. Also liked the fact that all the cases conected at the end so you get the whole story about Phoenix Wright and what happened to him. Justice personality lacks and it can drive you nuts sometimes. Otherwise a must buy for all that enjoyed Phoenix Wright.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
First off, I got this game right on time. EXCELLENT CONDITION and good pricing.Nothing was confusing. 5 Stars totes.
Better than Phoenix and best DS game ever!!! July 19, 2008
If you liked the Phoenix Wright series, well then you will absolutely love Apollo Justice! I have not yet played all of the Phoenix Wright games, but I have attempted Trials and Tribulations and find myself stuck. So I bought Apollo Justice, which I have managed to beat. It was by no means easier than Trials and Tribulations but it was a lot better. Probably the best DS game I've ever played and in my top ten best adventure games.
The graphics are much better than the Phoenix Wright games. You can't help but notice the artistic quality of the game while playing. It has really increased since Phoenix Wright. The music is also really good and gets the emotions of the game going so you feel like you are there (which you kind of are).
There are some new qualities of this game which far surpass those of Phoenix Wright games as this game was made exclusively for the DS. There is a forensic science feature in which you get to find fingerprints and footprints, among other things, in order to search for evidence. This is really fun because you use the stylus and microphone in a really innovative way. Also there are fully animated videos and special diagrams that allow you to visualize the crime scene much easier, making this a nice and exciting aspect of the courtroom.
One thing that really impressed me about this game was the storyline. Each case in itself was interesting, but the conclusion of the game (which was so amazing) kind of tied all the cases up together to make more sense and it connected all the characters, as well. Basically everything just made sense at the end of the game because mysteries throughout the game were solved, most of them revolving around the main characters, specifically Phoenix Wright's past life.
The conclusion of this game was the best of all and this game overall, with all of it's new features and improvements left me with a wonderful feeling. I was satisfied with this game, but it left me wanting a sequel really bad. This isn't to say it needed a sequel, but I mean that the game was so good, I wanted to play the sequel really badly.
Yes the Phoenix Wright series was good, but I personally like Phoenix better in the Apollo Justice series. If you loved Phoenix, don't worry; he is a pretty big part of this game.
To me this game surpassed the Phoenix Wright games and is worth every penny and minute of time spent on it. It was really a superb game. It was challenging yet doable; not too easy, not too hard. The storyline and characters were outstanding and the conclusion was amazing!
Beating this game left me with a few words in mind: Impressive, very impressive.
Justice is pretty Good, but Wright is still the Man. June 27, 2008

I enjoyed this game, as I did the each game from the Phoenix Wright series... but Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney just can't compared to its predecessor. The new protagonist, Justice, is for lack of better words, o.k. In my mind his personality was too bland, as were all the supporting characters; this made it difficult for me to enjoy the game as I'd hoped. Phoenix provided witty comments and timely jokes throughout his series to make the games more than just solving cases and defending people... I felt the first three Ace Attorney games were purely entertaining and enjoyable. The latest title provides still interesting cases and introduces some new features like the ability to "Perceive" lies and reintroduces active investigation as in Phoenix Wright: Justice For All. I thoroughly loved each P.W. title and was sad to see the series end and for P.W. to be reduced to a supporting character... I would recommend the other titles before this one.
Apollo Justice is great, but please bring back Phoenix! May 3, 2008

I just finished the game and I must say it was another great addition to the series. It can't compare to the previous three games but it was still good enough to warrant a high rating. The ending was pretty spectacular (think along the lines of Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations). The music was remixed well and the characters were as loveable as ever.
I did have quite a few dislikes about the game though. Starting with Apollo. He seemed like a watered down Phoenix with a bit of Gumshoe's mentality and Edgeworth's emotions. I understand sticking to the formula but if you're going to make a new character, make a NEW character. I loved pretty much all the characters, but Apollo. I would've given anything to be playing as Klavier because I just didn't like Apollo's lack of personality. Also, I've seen others mention it but there really isn't a good opposite to Apollo. So that Phoenix/Edgeworth dynamic is clearly missing from this game.
Also, I compared the ending to Trials and Tribulations. It is, and it isn't similar. For those of you who played Trials and Tribulations, you know that the ending was brewing starting with the first case of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and we finally reached a peaceful ending at the end of the third game. Understandably Apollo Justice does not have the same advantage seeing as this is the first game in the series. However, it seems the developers wanted that same ending again, but as I stated, they couldn't pull it off. It was still an alright ending though.
All in all, I'd say Apollo Justice is a good purchase, if you're interested in playing more Phoenix Wright. But if you honestly don't care for Apollo before going into the game, I'd say skip it for now. Wait until the price goes down if it's super important to learn this chapter of the story.
