DS
Star Rating: 
★★★
Scienstists have proven that these Capcom courtroom games are 89 percent more fun than failing the New York State Bar Exam. Phoenix Wright, typically the star of the series, takes a backseat this time out, letting newcomer Apollo Justice handle the cross-examination duties. The bulk of the action centers around Law & Order-style courtroom drama. New to the series is the ability to detect nervous twitches in witnesses, or small stains on the front of their pants. (Note: Our one semester of law school taught us that nervous people tend to pee a little.) You also have access to some C.S.I.-type forensic tools which allow you to search for bodily secretions, i.e. huge, giant, rainbow-like sprays of jism. Best of all, thanks to the built-in mic on the DS, you can actually shout the words, "Objection!" or "Hold it!" during cross-examinations. Though we suggest shouting the words "I'm a loser!" and "Why won't anyone love me? Could it be because I'm sitting at home shouting into this game machine? Might that have something to do with it?" instead.
