Phoenix Wright: Trials And Tribulations

It's difficult to delve into much more detail about the story without tragically spoiling surprises, but invested Phoenix fans get five well-written, twist-filled cases to end a trilogy that unquestionably deserves a seat right next to titans like Maniac Mansion and the Space Quest series. Just make sure you play the first two Ace Attorneys first -- this is one courtroom you shouldn't enter unprepared.

"It's agony not to just enthusiastically tell you about the scenarios, the cases themselves, but I hate reviewers that get to experience something completely freshly for themselves, and then rob that opportunity from all who read the review. So believe me, if I told you you'd want to play, and then be cross I told you. So just skip to the wanting to play."

"Trials and Tribulations is a great ending to the trilogy. The gameplay is no different and may have gotten easier, but it's easily the best plot yet in a Phoenix Game. The final case is the best case yet in the series."

Trials and Tribulations is yet another enjoyable Phoenix Wright game--just don't expect anything new.

"On one hand, the player definitely gets their money's worth, but the pacing also fluctuates from being occasionally zippy to dragging its feet. There's never a case that you won't want to see through to the end, but there's a fine line between an investigation being exciting and tedious."
