Phoenix Wright: Sales for All

Amazon has cut the price of Phoenix Wright: Justice for All, the sequel to everyone's favorite court-based adventure game, bringing it down to $19.99. We don't expect this deal to last for long, so race your shopping cart to the checkout lane as fast as your feet will allow.

If for some reason, God forbid, you haven't played Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney yet and are hesitant to start the series midway through, don't forget that you can also pick up a used copy at GameStop or EB Games for as low as $21.99! We admit, that's still pretty expensive for a game as old as this one, but it's better than paying full price. All you'll need to take advantage of this sorta-bargain is the coupon we posted earlier this morning.

Metareview (the web) - Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice For All

Now that we've seen what the magazines have to say, it's high time we checked in with the various sites of the world wide webtron. With mostly favorable reviews of the title (natch), we're glad we do not have to enter the tubes ourselves and personally kill any online entities responsible for bad-mouthing our favorite Ace Attorney.

At the time of this post, we don't have all of the online reviews yet (1UP and IGN), but once they've posted them, we'll come back and update this post.

Gamespot (77/100) says it's more of the same and doesn't innovate: "Justice for All is a good, lengthy adventure with great character-driven storylines, but it fails to build upon the promising groundwork laid by the first game."

Games Radar (80/100) is quick to call it a great follow-up to the previous game: "The charm and clever logic puzzles are still here, and the cases deliver the same charge-back-from-the-edge-of-defeat rush that made the first game so cool. Whether you're a fan of the original or a newcomer to Wright's bizarre legal world, you won't be disappointed."

Justice For All in UK and Germany on March 16th

Everyone's favorite ace attorney Phoenix Wright is releasing a new game stateside next week. but for those of you in the UK and Germany who have been sitting idly by and waiting for the sequel to the best DS game ever can finally breath a sigh of relief. Turns out, you'll be getting your hands on the game mid-March. March 16th, to be exact, with the hold-up apparently being due to German language localization.

With such a wait, are any of you German and UK residents out there planning on importing the US version? Or have you already imported the Japanese game, which has an English translation?

EGM so-so over Phoenix Wright, anoints Hotel Dusk

Posted Jan 10th 2007 3:00PM by Alisha Karabinus

While we haven't seen it, word is that the upcoming issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly has some very interesting scores (and reviews) for a pair of upcoming DS titles. The March issue takes a look at both Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All and Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (it's long title month around here), and offers a lackluster-to-good range of scores for one, and great scores to the other ... and it's not the way that you may think.

Word on the ~~street~~ forums is that the scores for the two games in the issue are as follows:

Justice for All: 6.0, 7.0, 8.0
Hotel Dusk: 8.0, 8.0, 10 (yeah, that's a ten)

Now, it's true that this edition of Phoenix Wright is not judged to be the best by those who've played deeper into the series, and those are decent and respectable scores (which mean nothing, since we're all playing it anyway, and probably twice). But the scores for Hotel Dusk are surprising, and something of a relief as well. Whether or not you're a fan of EGM, it's nice to see such enthusiastic review scores. As a point of comparison, Trace Memory (often invoked when mentioning Hotel Dusk) scored much lower with EGM -- that game posted an average score of 6.17.

Earlier we brought you the print edition metareview, and now it's time for the trailer for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All, the second installment in what is probably the most-discussed franchise around here, and for good reason. This is one guy who needs no introduction. Are you counting down the days yet? We certainly are! And that's why this trailer is this week's featured video.

Metareview (the mags) - Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice For All

Posted Jan 5th 2007 1:15PM by David Hinkle
Filed under: Reviews, Metareview

It may still be a good week plus away, but many of the magazine reviews for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice For All are finally beginning to surface and, given our incredible love of all things involving Phoenix, we thought it appropriate to do something a bit different for a metareview on the game.

See, we're going to count up what the magazines have to say first and as the game gets closer to release and websites begin to chime in (we realize a lot have reviewed the Japanese import, but that doesn't count), we'll go ahead and do another metareview for those.

Game Informer - 80%: "What it lacks in advance graphics and interface, JFA more than makes up for in charm and intrigue." [Jan 2007, p.115]

GamePro - 80%: "Still, Justice For All demonstrates enough of the plucky spirit that made the first game so memorable." [Feb. 2007, p.82]

Nintendo Power - 90%: "The verdict is in: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice for All is another superb graphic-text adventure from the folks at Capcom." [Feb. 2007, p.96]

2007: the year of the DS (again)

Posted Jan 1st 2007 10:58PM by Alisha Karabinus
Filed under: Fan stuff

2006 was a banner year for gamers, particularly DS gamers. We've got it all: a rainbow of system colors, an incredible library of games, and powerful studios clamoring for a piece of the action. Our favorite handheld consistently rocked out, thundering over the competition -- all the competition -- for the entire year. The DS avalanche of awesome can't possibly continue at this rate ... and yet, when we look at the forthcoming year and the incredible parade of titles set for the year, it seems that the DS will, in fact, continue to dominate global gaming.

And we're totally okay with that. Just so you know.

If you're still scrambling to finish some of the titles from the latter half of 2006, play harder -- no matter who you are or what you like, you're sure to find at least ten games this year that are must-haves, and that's just among the games we know about right now. What's worse (or is that way, way better?) is that most of them are slated for the next few months. So run through Portrait of Ruin and put aside the hard rockin' Elite Beat Agents (your fingers will thank you for the break), and check after the jump for a few of the games that will drain your free time in 2007.

Objection! Phoenix Wright DS stickers no more

Posted Oct 5th 2006 8:00PM by Nikki Inderlied

We gladly admit that we are Phoenix Wright freaks. We do not question our fandom and we encourage others to join us in our epic quest for justice, DS style. You can see why we were so thrilled to hear about Play-Asia having a special sticker bonus for us fans.

We were gleeful, ecstatic and any other word you can think of that means overly excited. So excited that we did a jig on our desk in the middle of class. Suddenly, a dark cloud loomed over our jig.

We got an a few emails saying that the Phoenix Wright stickers are no more. WHAT?! Yes, for "unknown reasons" they were canceled.

We know dear readers, we know. This news is heartbreaking. In fact, is there anyone we can sue?

[Thanks Lush and Vincent!]

Hold it! Put Phoenix Wright on your DS

Considering the unadulterated Phoenix Wright lust that oozes from DS Fanboy's collective pores, we're pretty sure Play-Asia's quarterly profits are about to double now that we've seen this super-mega sweet DS sticker. And that's just from us buying up all the stock for our special Phoenix Wright wall.

These are the three stages of discovering Phoenix Wright DS decor:

The audible sound of jaws dropping.
The full-armed swipe to take care of the drool.
The frantic scrabbling for credit cards -- anything between you and the wallet be damned.

Try not to harm friends, animals and/or grandparents on your way to stage three. And just remember to soak everything a little while to get rid of those pesky drool stains. But be warned -- it's not just a sticker free-for-all over there. You have to actually order something else (like that matters; bring on the My Little Pony), but we got lucky. It happens to be the sequel to our beloved Phoenix Wright that we're preordering to get our sticker love. The title is import-friendly (with English and all), and the content is reportedly the same as the US version. You've got nothing to lose and a sticker to gain, and there's no objecting to that!
