Gameplay
Ace Attorney’s gameplay is split into two sections: investigation and trial.Once accepts a case, he must go to the crime scene and try and work out what really happened. This involves using the touch screen to examine an area, looking for important items, interviewing witnesses via a series of questions and presenting collected evidence, and check collected pieces of evidence for more clues.Everything can be controlled using thestandard buttonsas well as the touch screen for the Nintendo DS version. Once enough evidence and witness statements have been collected, the game moves into the second section, the trial.
Court Room
The trial is controlled in exactly the same way as the investigation, but is focused on picking holes in witness statements and presenting evidence to the judge to prove your theories on what really happened.As each witness statement is presented, you can press each statement made to push a little harder and clarify the information. Sometimes, this will lead to new statements being added, or allow you to present contradicting evidence against the statement in the form of an objection. In the Nintendo DS version, you can also object by shouting "Objection!" into the microphone.If you present the wrong evidence, however, the judge will penalize you. Once you are penalized five times, it is game over and the game resumes to the title screen where users can choose to start from the beginning or resume from the last save point.
In the Nintendo DS version of the game, a fifth case has been added to the game, and a new mechanic is introduced which allows some pieces of evidence to be manipulated in 3D using the touch screen, so they can reveal more secrets. You can also dust the evidence down with fingerprint powder and blow into the microphone to reveal theprint.
