The Scent of Dark Coffee…
So, before I say anything else, here is a quick retelling of some lines from Phoenix Wright 3 that made me laugh out loud for longer than was really necessary.
Godot: Well, you know what they say. A cornered fox is fiercer than a jackal.
Phoenix: No, a cornered fox is just scared and confused!
Godot: I tire of your animal metaphors, Trite.
Seriously. Laughed so stupidly hard.
Anyway, I beat Phoenix Wright 3 is pretty great… if you liked the other two. Seriously, there’s no way to jump in the middle. From what I’m hearing, even though Apollo Justice starts a new main character, it’s so entrenched in Phoenix Wright backstory that you’re still going to be lost if you haven’t played all of them up to that point…. which I don’t mind, but again, makes it hard for newcomers. Because of this, there really shouldn’t be a tutorial case in the game, but there was… at least it was interesting, though, and very plot-relevant. The fifth case pulled out all the stops to give Phoenix a great send off, though honestly, I felt like the fourth case in Justice For All was a lot stronger and more emotional. Anyway, reviewing this game is kinda silly. If you’re following the silly lawyer anime turned game, you’ve already bought it or are going to buy it. If you’re not following it, there’s not a lot for you here, and if you want to get started, go find the first Phoenix Wright.
Anyway, I might blog again later about Call of Duty 4, but for now, let me leave you with a picture of the perfect Japanese object of sexual desire. Man, those wacky Japanese. Way to go, NHK. Perfectly executed.
