"Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations (yes, the title has two colons in it) is the third and final title in the Phoenix Wright trilogy. You play as Phoenix Wright, a famous defense lawyer that has sworn to protect the innocent and uncover the correct path to justice. The game plays much like a classic adventure point and click game from the mid 1990s that companies like Sierra and Lucasarts were pumping out. You'll take part in both investigation and the trial proceedings of five different cases to prove the innocence of the accused."

"Capcom's Gyakuten Saiban series, interactive novels that give players the chance to solve murder mysteries, is very popular in Japan. While it started on the trusty GBA in 2001, ports have since spread to cell phones and Nintendo DS. Fortunately for us, Capcom decided to introduce the series to English speakers along the way, and the Ace Attorney series remains a crowd pleaser as Trials & Tribulations (T&T) concludes the Phoenix Wright trilogy."

"Point-and-click adventure games have always been a favorite of mine, and with its touch screen, the Nintendo DS would seem to be the perfect platform for them. Hence, the joyous glee I enjoy every time Capcom releases another game in the Ace Attorney series. Next year will bring us an all new Ace Attorney in Apollo Justice, but what about Phoenix Wright? How does everyone's favorite spiky-haired legal eagle fare in his swan song? The trilogy comes to a smashing close in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials & Tribulations, with details after the jump!"

"If you've followed the Phoenix Wright series since day one, you've surely had the pleasure of steering the future of many a court case (not to mention enjoying the wit of one of the best dialogue-driven series since the days of Lucasarts.) Trials and Tribulations is the final chapter in the popular trilogy starring Phoenix Wright, a hotshot attorney who was still wet behind the ears when the series began."

"Earlier this year, Gamasutra spoke to Capcom's Minae Matsukawa, producer of the cult-popular Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney series for DS. In her six years with the company, Matsukawa's past Capcom projects began with Breath of Fire V, and also include the Magical Quest series, the Street Fighter games, and the Darkstalkers game for PSP.
Matsukawa discussed being a female game developer in Japan, even more a rarity than in the U.S., and how the Phoenix Wright games found equal success on two very different shores."

"The Ace Attorney series' timing in America couldn't have been better. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney went from a cult hit during a tidal wave of amazing titles in late 2005 to a larger phenomenon in a year's time. By the time the sequel Justice for All released this past January, the series was huge with hardcore gamers. Until the next game, Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney (already a hit in Japan), releases Stateside next year, the third and final chapter in the Phoenix Wright saga will keep you very satisfied, though it's not a good starting point for newcomers."

"Our favorite defense attorney is back to object in Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations. Except this time, he’s not in the defensive stance for a client. He’s on the chopping block to be proven innocent. Playing as Mia Fey, his mentor in the previous Ace Attorney games, players are introduced to Wright’s slightly tacky past where his navy blue suits were non-existent."

"Adventure games -- real adventure games, where twitch reflexes and collect-everything-but-the-kitchen-sink gameplay conventions sit out in favor of exposition-heavy story text and slow, methodical puzzle-solving -- exist in many minds as PC-gaming antiquities, fondly looked-upon gems now relegated to the museum of stuff-that-doesn't-sell-like-hotcakes-to-the-Starbucks-generation. In this sense, Capcom's Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney series of DS-powered courtroom adventures is a happy anomaly, having enjoyed enough success to warrant U.S. localizations of the original game and (so far) two sequels. Trials and Tribulations caps off the trilogy, continuing the story of adventure gaming's modern champion and serving as incontrovertible evidence that these games -- however niche -- are doing something right."

"Not too long ago -- about two years ago to the month, in fact -- the very first Phoenix Wright title graced American shores. A DS-modified port of a GBA game that came out in Japan four years prior, Phoenix Wright wasn't expected to garner much attention Stateside. Apart perhaps from niche gamers and adventure enthusiasts, the game didn't outwardly appeal to many. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney wasn't like any point-and-click adventure game, though. It had incredible personality, interesting characters, and better yet, allowed the gamer to take on the role of a lawyer. This kind of approach to the adventure genre was unique. It was interesting. It allowed the series to thrive in an environment not deemed fit to command a localization of the game when it first appeared in Japan."

"The Phoenix Wright series has been an unlikely success story in North America. The games have been able to overcome slow pacing, as well as lack of innovation, thanks to likeable characters, engaging storylines, and great music. The same holds true for the third game in the series Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations. It does absolutely nothing new with the established formula, but fans of the series will be just fine with that because it has all the gameplay and characters they've come to expect from a Phoenix Wright game."

"After playing Trials and Tribulations, I've come to the sad conclusion that a real attorney will never have as much fun in the court room as Phoenix Wright. If they did, I probably would have made my parents happy and gone to law school.

"October 22,2007 - Since its debut in 2005, the Ace Attorney series starring Phoenix Wright has been a cult hit. With a slow start, the game became a hit months after it was released. The demand forced Capcom to release the sequel, Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Justice for All and as they'd hoped, that too was introduced to lukewarm sales. Now Capcom has brought Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations, and while it doesn't do much of anything to its already outstanding formula, it manages to do just enough for it to be worthy ending to the Phoenix Wright series."

"Everyone's favorite defense attorney is back and kicking in his third North American installment, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations. Although it's only been nine months since the Phoenix Wright sequel dropped, doesn't it seem longer? Maybe that's because, in Japan, Ace Attorney 4 is already on store shelves, and the fifth game is in the works. Recently, we plowed through Trials and Tribulations' first two cases, "Turnabout Memories" and "The Stolen Turnabout."

"The Phoenix Wright series is one that puts your lawyer skills to the test, and Trials and Tribulations is the third installment in this series. To all newcomers, this game is a throwback to text adventures games of yon, except it is much more heated fare than you may expect - the main gameplay consists of courtroom drama, mixed in with a bit of sleuth work. Exploring the crime scenes, gathering evidence, then working your way through witness testimonies in court are all events in the daily life of a lawyer. Nerve-wracking situations pervade throughout the trilogy, but players who persevere will be rewarded with fantastic solutions to the, at first, tangled stories. A note, before I begin the review; I strongly recommend playing the first two Ace Attorney games before playing this one, or else you will simply not understand much of it."

"A 'computer virus'? What does one of those do?"
"A computer virus is a program that wreaks havoc on a network of computers."
"A 'computer'? What does one of those do?"
It is, of course, a conversation between the best lawyer in the history of the universe, Phoenix Wright, and the erstwhile Judge presiding over yet another of his cases. He's back, and he's back for the last time. And so, once more, I find myself with the opportunity to convince you to buy one of the funniest games you'll ever play."

"I know I’m a bit behind all the other Phoenix Wright fans (other games and all!), but I just finished the final case in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations. I’ll sum up the nitty gritty first. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations plays exactly the same as the second game (Justice for All). You peruse testimony, point out logical contradictions with evidence and peer into the hearts of NPCs with the magatama from the Fey family. Capcom did not create a special case for the DS like in the first game and there isn’t much to convince newcomers to try it out. But the story is so good fans will be blown away by Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations. Warning minor spoilers below!"
