The games strong points are definitely the characters and writing. Every case manages to get very dramatic, and have some scandalous angle attached to it that you have to unravel and figure out in order to succeed, I just love how the game challenges you in that regard as to do well you need to think and be one step ahead of the preceedings. I'm a mystery novel buff and I used to love text style RPG's before they died off, so I'm glad to see the style return with class in Phoenix Wright.

As for the characters, I love em but I wish capcom didn't make some alterations here and there. For the character of Carla Oldebag (not sure of the spelling there) she's funny cuz she's just a raving fangirl thats only oh, a billion years old. Trust me, THATS scary. Yet capcom watered her down making more of a senile old woman in the english version cuz the kids likely wouldn't get the jokes.

But still, the game manages still manages to shine and have loads of charm, I just wish the localization team would cease watering down the dialogue, story, and setting.
