With an interesting mix of supporting characters to help him, Apollo Justice will defend against top prosecutor Klavier Gavin in four compelling cases.

Description

Created specifically for Nintendo DS, the T-rated game allows players to guide the young lawyer’s investigation through the touch screen. Once in the courtroom, players cross-examine the witnesses and plead their case to the hardliner judge. Superior graphics allow players to totally immerse themselves in the storyline. Players can also make use of the forensic tools to dust for fingerprints, test for trace chemicals or remix sound tracks to reveal hidden sounds. Although gathering mixed reviews due to the reportedly slow pacing in the story, Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney offers a satisfyingly interesting final case for die-hard fans.

    "Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney" is an extremely tired and jaded release from Capcom. The series has been going for years, but has seen basically no new innovations.The 3D evidence is a mixed addition at best.If you are a big fan of the series, then you'll probably buy the game anyway, but if you wanted to try this kind of game out, you'd be much better off with the original game- it's pretty similar, has a storyline that requires no previous knowledge of the series, and...

    DS-owners who've never worn a digital toga really have to try it. The Ace Attorney series is fascinating and quite special in gamesville and it still is, even in this newcomer called Apollo Justice. Old fans can expect what they're used to and more, because this part will be both recognizable and refreshing at the same time. The verdict? Buy, lend or rent that shit! If not, I'll take you to court! Read more

    May 19, 2008 - Apollo JUstice is basically a fantastic game. But it's only fantastic if you like Phoenix Wright. It is the same piont-and-click game play that we know and love with much more neew fetures like examining evidence in full 3-D, 3-D cutscenes, voice activation, and so on. The charcters are great as usual, and Apollo is just as likeable as Phoenix. As usual, each case plays out like a mystery novel that you control.All in all. Apollo Justice is great game that...
