Being a Lawyer Is Fun! (#3)

I recently bought the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney trilogy on the Nintendo 3DS eShop. It contains the first three games in the popular crime mystery series: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Justice For All and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations. I've not finished the first one of the three yet, though I'm getting there, but I already think the series is awesome and extremely fun to play. You have to present evidence in court cases that prove that witnesses are lying in their testimonies, and search around different areas for court evidence and peoples' statements. It sounds boring, but it's actually so much more fun than I make it sound.


One of the coolest parts of the game in my opinion is when the defence (Phoenix Wright, the protagonist that you play as) and the prosecutor (the prosecutor can differ but is often Wright's rival, Miles Edgeworth) (the defence and the prosecutor are basically the two people that are debating whether the suspect is guilty or innocent) shout different phrases at each other during court sessions, such as 'Take that!' and 'Hold it!'. The best one has got to be when one of them disagree or find a weakness in the witnesses' statements, and shout 'OBJECTION!' It's truly epic.

Who'd have thought that helping the law fight crime and having a battle of wits in a court could be so awesome?
