Description

Experience the exhilaration of the court room with this lawyer simulation from Capcom. Take on the role of the titular Phoenix Wright, a rookie lawyer ready for his first case. Learn the ropes, carefully examine evidence, and if the solution doesn't seem to present itself right away, press your witnesses for more information until they slip up and create a contradiction with the evidence.

Phoenix Wright is actually an enhanced port of a game called Gyakuten Saiban for the Game Boy Advance, which was released in Japan near the system's launch. The DS version features all of the cases from the Game Boy Advance version, with the addition of a fifth case, which is as long as the four previous cases put together. The fifth case makes extensive use of the DS' special features, such as the microphone and the ability to examine inventory in 3D using the stylus. As well as the courtroom action, Phoenix will also get to investigate in the field and interrogate people who were near the crime scene.

Trivia

Due to distribution rights and issues from Nintendo Australia and THQ, Australia didn't see the release of the game until well after the sequel was available overseas, almost a year after the European release.
