Phoenix Wright, Capcom's ace attorney returns on practically what is considered the "sequel" to Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All, although not bringing anything new to the somewhat recent series by Capcom, does indeed show that the impeccable effort in the localization team is worthy of a 5-star badge.

Gameplay-wise, Justice for All brings no news. This text-based interactive novel uses the same point-and-click interface that players have already enjoyed in the first game, released in 2005. Through this, players take the lawyer through a whole new adventure, if you will, revealing more characters and even stranger personalities.

Once again, the story's diversity must be noted. Being almost no different than the first game besides the story, the linearness remains. While it's fun to see the plot change every once in a while, it would've been better if it were different. Obviously showing the wrong evidence all the time and getting Phoenix Wright's reputation down like a top-notch lose would obviously be a big source for laughs.

There's one thing I have to point out which has obviously excelled in the game, which is the originality in cases. Simply discovering everything about the witness/person in trial and uncovering those details or trying to prove something out tends to be quite exciting for the average gamer. While the gamer would have to take a 2-year course to simply say that this game is simply not worthy of being the text-based novel it is, Justice for All tends to be quite realistic for all it is.

As you can see, Justice for All is more of the same but with revamped items to discover, new cases, and an all-new story. Despite the fact that it tends to overflow with all the text, it is still a fun "read" and will most definitely not leave the player disappointed.

Graphics: Still the same. With a slight anime/manga look to it, animations are quite clunky and although that adds to the overall humor, a little more effort could have been done in order to improve the overall presentation of this game.

Sound: There's next to no voice in this game, but the nice background songs compensate the lack of voice action.

Gameplay: With a simple touch of point-and-click, the well-written script takes over the whole experience. Although it's already been used in the first installment, it remains an enjoyable and different experience.

Presentation: Phoenix Wright returns in the second installment, and nicely. In terms of writing, this game is above all.
