Apollo Justice Ace Attorney review DS

Apollo Justice Ace Attorney review for Nintendo DS

There's a new face for the Ace Attorney series: new attorney Apollo Justice takes over the legal briefs of the hugely popular Phoenix Wright. Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney doesn't stray too far from the formula and mechanics of the previous games in the series, but there are new elements which definitely enhance the gameplay and more than make up for the change of lead character. We've played Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney and we have a full review for you in this issue of HGZine.

Apollo Justice Ace Attorney review for Nintendo DS
It was a brave decision for Capcom to say ‘sayonara' to Phoenix Wright and introduce a fresh-faced new lawyer into the fold for the fourth game in the Ace Attorney series. It's a move that's paid off handsomely, as Apollo Justice somehow manages to live up to the brilliance of the previous games, despite its unfamiliar hero. Apollo himself struggles at times to emerge from the shadow of Phoenix, but that's partly down to the fondness people have for the earlier Ace Attorney himself, not to mention Capcom's refusal to completely abandon all ties with the earlier games here. One story arc will definitely have a greater significance to series fans, and there's a drip feed of info tidbits throughout the four cases until several big revelations in the concluding turnabout.

The mechanics haven't changed too much either – it's still a case of investigating crime scenes, interviewing witnesses and significant others, before your day in court where you need to press testimonies or present evidence to sort out the various contradictions. The admittedly slightly silly Psyche-Lock idea from earlier games has been abandoned for a new system where Apollo can ‘perceive' when a witness is lying.
