Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy

I would have loved to see the original Ace Attorney games receive a more thorough makeover, but, realistically speaking, this Trilogy is the best we're going to get. That's okay, though, because Phoenix Wright's strength is in its writing, which has certainly held up over the past decade-or-so. If you've never tried your hand at Ace Attorney's brand of interactive crime fiction, this handy collection provides everything you need to become a die-hard fan of Capcom's spiky-haired lawyer.

There is, of course, the off-chance that the trilogy might be someone's first exposure to the life and times of Phoenix Wright, or at least their first exposure in a great many years, and it's as refined a jumping-off point for that as can be expected. For anyone for whom this is their third, four, or fifth time around, there's nothing new to discover, aside from the convenience of having all three games in one handy digital package.

I am truly pleased with the quality of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, from its gameplay mechanics to its remastered visuals, to its sound effects and soundtrack. This iteration is easily the best the franchise has received, and even if you recently played the DS or WiiWare ports of the games, I strongly recommend that you pick this up as it will offer a whole different experience for these classic three titles.
