Character reactions are exaggerated, heck, they’re waaaaay over-exaggerated, the main setting is a courtroom and it is - *gasp* - adventure. In fact, to label Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney as ‘kooky’ would be an understatement, but somehow it works.
While the oddball stories are played for laughs, the constant plot twists and surprises are as effective as those of any John Grisham novel.

I heard about the game and whenever I went to top number x of Nintendo DS games this one and others of the series did show up in the list.
When I had the chance to play the game, it was a little strange at first. It is not the typical game I'm used to, and I think most are not. But it was really fun. The first case was clearly a tutorial were your mentor is guiding you trough the steps you need to take. But it was still fun and the game makers were smart by ending it on a cliffhanger so you want to start the next one. Starting from here you also can investigate crime scenes and collect evidence for your court cases. This gameplay is more like a point-and-click game by moments.
You meet a lot of interesting characters in the game and they are also clearly the heart and soul of the game. Combined with interesting stories and logical thinking it makes a fun game.

Esse jogo é um must play para qualquer bom apreciador do gênero visual novel. Pra mim é um dos melhores do seu gênero. A história é foda, 10/10, bem contada, diálogos muito bem elaborados, engraçada, criativa, original em muitos pontos, repleta de plot twists. A história se divide em varios capítulos, cada capítulo apresenta um homicídio e um réu a ser defendido pelo advogado Phoenix Wright, protagonista da história. O ambiente do tribunal, do julgamento, é muito bem representado de forma irônica nesse jogo. O humor do jogo é 10/10. O humor do jogo se materializa nas diversas personalidades representadas por personagens. Possui muitos personagens icônicos. O jogo tem uma pegada retrô, um visual 2D ótimo e uma trilha sonora memorável. As músicas se encaixam perfeitamente nas situações. Alguns momentos de mudança abrupta da história são de arrepiar os pêlos. O jogo se passa nos tempos atuais, segundo o próprio jogo, no ano de 2016, e possui um universo de ficção para alguns e realidade para outros. Aqui espíritos existem e podem ser contactados por meio dos métodos mediúnicos. Apesar de não acreditar no espiritismo, gostei muito dessa pegada do game. Deixa o jogo mais interessante. O gameplay do jogo sempre busca fazer com que o jogador pense e interaja com a história. Quase sempre o jogador está tomando decisões no jogo. A boa intuição do jogador faz com que ele avance mais rapidamente na história. Existem raras situações nesse jogo em que a solução do jogador não bate com a solução do jogo, e o jogador se perde e acaba travando por uns 15 minutos. Nesses casos, geralmente o jogador está pensando corretamente, porém não soube executar os comandos na ordem que o jogo esperava. Aqui ocorre um erro de comunicação entre jogador e máquina. Um exemplo clássico é quando o jogador quer apresentar uma evidência do crime ao juiz antes de chegar o momento ideal para isso. Em suma, esse jogo pra mim é 10/10. Porém todavia nao é um jogo que eu recomendaria a todos, visual novel é um gênero que não se encaixa em todos os gostos. Considero esta a melhor versão, pois pude jogar no conforto do meu sofá, utilizando apenas a stylus. Outra vantagem desta versão é que o jogo original foi desenhado em baixa resolução, então no DS ele mantém qualidade gráfica. Existe uma tradução pt-br do jogo. Não recomendo de forma alguma. A tradução muda demais o jogo. Mudam os nomes dos personagens, o texto as vezes muda, e até algumas sprites e sons são trocados. O jogo parece outro.

Appeals to that mystery-solving personality that’s in all of us and truly is one of the most innovative titles to appear on the DS this year.
I only hope that enough Americans will appreciate Mr. Wright so that we can get our hands on the other two titles in the series.
The minor issues are nowhere near big enough to take away from a game that sucks the player in with its originality and keeps them well and truly locked in until the judgement is made in the final case. Simply put, it’s brilliant. [JPN Import]
For those out there who got a DS because they wanted new experiences, I think that this cart is your chance. [Oct 2005, p.154]
A great presentation and even better writing can’t compensate for the fact that the game practically plays itself. This is a good comic book, but a below average adventure.
Loved this visual novel, I felt in love with all the characters, just a little bit short

The idea of a courtroom video game where you play as an attorney, as far as I can tell, is an original and interesting one. However, I just keep feeling that the anime style just wasn't the right choice for this series. During my time playing this game, I kept wishing things were darker and more serious, with less exaggerated actions and cartoonish plots. There are lots of stuff that ruin the sense of immersion and warrant a lot of eye-rolling, like outlandish "proofs", ridiculously gullible judges and officers, and culprits flat out reveal their bad deeds out of nowhere, in the courtroom, in the fashion of poorly-written bad guys who just HAVE to reveal all of their plans to the hero.
The gameplay is also uninteresting and oversimplified, giving you way too many shots at cracking the case, with virtually no punishment for doing things wrong. This ends up taking away any resemblance of a fun challenge.
The main characters are slightly likeable, and at times the cases manages to pique your curiosity. But the problems take too much away for this to be really enjoyable.

Pheonix Wrong is a terrible addition to the crime genre. In fact, it's a crime of the game developers to have even made this game. It starts by showing you who did the crime. What's the point in letting us investigate if you have already showed who did it? It's pointless! Not to mention how bad the actual gameplay itself is. All you do is say "Objection!" and a cutscene plays. Do that about eight times and you've pretty much completed the game. If I was in the office while this game was being made, I would have "Objected!" to this game's development being pushed forward.
