Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney follows a young attorney as he struggles to find his footing and live up to the legacy his mentor left him. Along the way, he encounters a cast of eccentric characters and tough cases.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is still a great game beyond a doubt. But it is guilty of being a very lazy port.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is the first console version of the classic series. As exciting as it is to see come to the Wii, it works out no better than it did on the Nintendo DS. If you owned it previously on the DS, you should consider what you're getting. Enjoy swinging the Wii Remote. It's the only thing you haven't done before in the series. It is what it is. It's Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney on the Wii. Motion controls included. Yes, it is exciting to swing your arm like Phoenix Wright and make an Objection. But that's really all that sticks out in the Wii port. Nothing else noticeable has been added, besides additional files.
It is a very lazy port. The graphics haven't been updated for the Wii, so it looks more pixelated than it should. Nothing except the controls have been updated either. Just like the DS version of it, you can't check items in 3D.
There is also an extra episode that can be downloaded for additional Wii Points, but it is currently unavailable. Considering it's been out for a few days now, it is unreasonable.
Yes, it is Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. It is just as great as it was before. If you were a big fan of it, then go ahead and waste $10 on buying it. It isn't any better than the original version. You won't get a run for your money. Check the Wii Shop Channel and get a game you haven't played before. As great as this game is, it is a lazy port that would be a better experience on the Nintendo DS.
