In truth, the Phoenix Wright games have more in common with books than the traditional definition of a video game. Of course, this being a video game, Phoenix Wright is far more than just a bland overview of different legal systems, but still a form of entertainment as well. I remember reading a really good article several years ago on the root of the Phoenix Wright games and it made me curious enough to try and better understand the differences in the legal system I am familiar with and those found in other regions. Phoenix has to overcome overwhelming odds in almost every case to not only defend his client, but try to discern just who is responsible for said crimes. However, his sense of justice is tempered by a lack of experience where Phoenix finds himself learning the ropes as he goes and combating a legal system that makes it very difficult to defend those charged with a crime. Phoenix Wright is a hotshot attorney who is ready to take on the world. Throughout the entire package there is a biting humour throughout that underlies a lot of very serious themes. However, the opportunity to see what they are all about with the neatly packaged Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy was too good to pass up, and I am glad I had a chance to sit down and understand just what all of the fuss was about. The Phoenix Wright titles have always been interesting, but just never quite made their way onto my 'must play' list.
This holiday season has given me a chance to go back and play some games that I missed the first time around.
