Pheonix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy

Me in a parking lot playing Butz case for the first time.

(☆)

I don't know how anyone could feel fear playing this. Maybe worrying about if your evidence is wrong and feeling the annoyance of having to repeat the trial again...but I'll leave it at that.

Story Rating

☆☆☆☆☆

EDGY BOYYYYYYYYY. I don't even know what to say. I only bought his game around two days ago, and I am just about to start the extra trial. I know it is not similar to any real court case- but it was so interesting how all three trials were intertwined with the personal lives of each character. I still do wonder why Von Karma took the son of hte an he murdered under his wing. Maybe it's becasue edgy would put himself under the bus. When I think about it- if it wasn't for Larry stealing the lunch money- Wright wouldn't have become a prosecuto and Edgy would be behind bars. I should buy more ace attoney games- I had so much fun playing!

Sypnosis

The player is Pheonix Wright, newbie defense attorney who just got the chance to play in the court. In order to prove your clients innocent, they must collect evidence in the place of crime and find mistakes in the prosecutors and witnesses claims! Especially in the first game of the Ace Attorney Series, these cases have a strong connection of Wright's personal life. Players learn more about Wright's relationships and own motivations as each case is solved. This game has an overwhelmingly positive rating on steam. (Steam, 2025)

Personal Commentary

Sometimes I expected some of his cases to be unrelated to Edgeworth's or his own personal life. It seems like Phoenix is the narrator but Edgeworth is the protagonist because all of the cases (at least in the first part of the trilogy) are connected to him. Maybe except for the second trial- but the story did that to introduce one of Phoenix's and Edgeworth’s coworkers- who died. It would be a little more realistic if it was he finally did a court case on something that had no personal connections to him. I will admit though- I was really satisfied with the turnaround* on the rumors about Edgeworth's allegations of faking evidence from the very first time we met him- to the 5th case.

Screenshots of My Favorite Event
  • When I saw his entire demeanor change: my jaw dropped! I knew Jay from the KubzScouts played the part when we just got to know him- and it was years ago since I watched his unfinished series. So when I did this trial I was so curious to see what I couldn't remember... seeing the old man with dementia fake it for decades... left me completely in shock.
